Shovel for the lazy - a good assistant in the performance of earthworks

When buying a plot for a dacha or for building a house, the question arises of the processing of land. The simplest and most reliable tool is a conventional shovel. For people with back problems, especially retirement age, it is very difficult to combine love for working in the garden with health problems. The people invented a shovel for the lazy, which helps partially solve this problem. The name is not very suitable for this category of people, and for a "lazy" person - this is a tool that you can rely on to facilitate your work.

Such an adaptation can be done in an hour. To do this, you need a welding machine and skills to work on it.

A shovel for the lazy is made of a pipe with a diameter of 15 mm. The main element in it are the teeth, it is better when they are made of high-carbon steel with a diameter of 8 mm. Its application in performance allows you to outstrip the ordinary tool three times, and the effort is spent much less.

A shovel for the lazy in the stores has not yet been found. You can buy it only through an online store, and then at an inflated price due to the exclusivity of the product at the moment. Such a tool occurs under a variety of names, most often associated with a ripper.

It is believed that a similar shovel for the lazy was invented in Yekaterinburg by Andrei Bessonov. He used a system of levers (two sets of pitchfork), which are located opposite each other and perform loosening of the earth to a depth of 15-20 cm. With this method, the soil is treated without a heap, the land is not digested, but only loosened. At work it is not required special efforts, to dig such device the woman, old men and children can. The force of the lever reduces the work of all the muscles except the hands.

An irreplaceable tool for working on the site is a garden shovel. The bayonet of the instrument is made in the form of a flat rounded blade of hardened steel with a durable sharpening. You can use it when digging up the ground, digging trenches or pits. High strength is made of steel pipe handle. The handle is made of durable plastic, which reduces the load on the hands. The bayonet and handle are securely fastened by four rivets and welding, which ensures the safety of the product.

Mystery Dedov from Dnepropetrovsk came up with a tool that excludes the inclination of the trunk and the lifting of the soil, which reduces the physical load on the muscles. Such a shovel for earthworks has an increased blade size, which in combination with rational movements allow digging up a garden 2.5 times faster. But the most important thing is that the lower back does not hurt, there is no fatigue after continuous work even after 1.5 hours.

The design of the tool includes a blade with a holder. Approximately 140 degrees makes the angle between the holder and the blade. At the top of the holder is attached a lambskin borrowed from a ski pole. Two holes with a diameter of 8 mm are made in the flanged upper part of the blade surface. A rod with a handle made of stainless steel or a chain of adjustable length is inserted into one.

The work is reminiscent of the crocheting of the load with the help of levers. Initially, as with a conventional shovel, the blade is pressed into the soil with a foot. Then the hand moves on itself, the blade does not come off the ground, it rises with the ground. At the last moment, the hand moves the thrust up and to the side, with the blade turning over and the ground falling.
