Roughneck Fence Post Digger - 135mm Traditional Pattern (5⅜")

The Roughneck fence post digger is a professional-grade manual digging tool built for installing fence posts quickly and cleanly. Designed with traditional pattern blades measuring 135mm (5⅜") in diameter, it's the go-to fence post digger for tradespeople, landscapers, and serious DIYers across the UK. Industrial-strength steel blades cut through soil to produce a clean, narrow hole — meaning less backfill and less concrete per post. The 1.5m fibreglass handles are lightweight and weather-resistant, with knuckle protector grips for added safety during heavy use. The extended handle length lets you dig deep holes with less physical effort, making it ideal for standard garden fencing (600–900mm depth) and agricultural post installations.
