What digging tool have you found surprisingly invaluable? Other than a shovel of course. For me, I found a mattock to work wonders blowing through roots and the like

Digging bar.
Were I live there is a shit ton of rocks, so the bar does like 80% of the work, because digging is really just to loose the rocks and take them out of the hole. If they are to big and heavy, I have to break them so I can lift them.

pick mattock is superior in every way
the blade on regular mattocks is trash, if I wanted an axe I'll grab an axe

I don't have to break apart rocks so a pick is useless for me except for fun factor. Don't you sharpen your tools? Putting a half decent edge on your digging implements is way better than using them as is straight from the store

Mattock in the southwest and rockies, Pulaski on east coast and PNW.
A shovel isn’t for digging, it’s for moving dirt

As a trail builder I found the pick grubber helpfull too, because you could swing at a root with the blade part all the same and the use the pick to hook underneath the root and leaver it out, great fun.

I had to do some digging for my grandpa and hes collected tons of niche tools over the years and this was a huge help
especially for getting some leverage to wiggle a 100lb rock out of place
plus its super satisfying to hold a big heavy pointy steel rod lol

It's what I'd call an axe-mattock. Slightly different application from a pulaski

A mattock is an adze with a small axe blade on the back of the poll, designed for use in soils instead of wood carving. A Pulaski is an axe with a mattock blade on the back because it’s more focused on cutting wood than cutting turf, but still used for some grubbing, a pick mattock is a mattock with a pick on the back for soils with more rocks and less roots

According to the marketing, this is a competitor to the McLeod. Looks really gimmicky though and you won't catch me paying over a hundred bucks to find out

Hori hori for sure. 10" hand trowel with one side serrated, one side sharp and depth markings on the inside.

Use it for gardening and hiking. Best tool ever for digging holes for waste, and most versatile instrument.

Picks aren't for breaking apart rocks. Common misconception. They're for getting in the space between or alongside rocks so you can utilize leverage to remove them. Deadblowing a boulder with a pick is how you break your pick and end up whining in the reviews section.

on a second read i understand that. Its from a thread years ago of an anon being turboautismo about carrying the ultimate tool and other anons caring too much about their packweight. One of my all time favourite threads

This. I don't know what movie magic people have where they can simply just dig up a whole grave in 30 mins with just a shovel.

5 pound pickaxe from Canadian Tire, has been a fantastic walking stick for alpine. Its handles the prefect hight for a walking stick and the head is light but tough enough for most simple jobs.

Didn't know or care what a planter hoe was until I had to use one to weed around an orchard, it's essentially a mini straight razor and it rocks.

in the north of england we call them a mattock as well. Its a mattock and they are very useful, back when I used to work on a heritage site doing grounds maintenance they would be used with a regular shovel and a big pointy iron bar for getting rocks out, with those 3 tools you can just about dig hole. Satisfying to blow the fuck through tree roots with one.
