Measuring 24 inches long and weighing 5 pounds, the RotoShovel Cordless Handheld Shovel-Auger can be used for many different gardening and landscaping tasks, including planting vegetable crops, bulbs, annual flowers, even small trees and shrubs, digging postholes for fencing/mailboxes/signs, etc. With a press of the thumb trigger, its 12-volt battery-powered auger reportedly digs holes up to 3 inches in diameter and 10 inches deep in a matter of seconds; and its attached, removable shovel blade scoops out the soil as the holes are dug. The auger is designed to stop if it hits a rock, root, or other obstacle and only operates when the trigger is depressed. The Rotoshovel comes with auger bit, rechargeable lithium-ion battery, charger, keyless chuck to secure the shovel, and carry case.
