Digging bars, mattocks, and soil probes delve into soil to make holes, break up compacted earth, and perform surveying tasks. Digging bars are extra-long pry bars that are lifted and thrust into the ground to start holes, lift and shift embedded objects, and perform light demolition tasks. Pick and cutter mattocks swing like an axe to drive their dual-purpose head for digging, loosening, and chopping tasks. Soil probes set a sharp tip at the end of a long shaft to penetrate into the ground and check for compaction, locate buried pipe and tanks, find rocks and obstructions, and retrieve samples to determine soil depth and composition.
