Description
Most dig-tool problems are really root problems. The target sits 15 cm (6 in) down, the plug is laced with grass roots, and a smooth trowel just bends the turf back at you. The CKG Metal Detecting Digging Tool cuts a clean plug instead: double serrated edges work like a saw through roots and hard pack, a narrow 2.76 in (7 cm) blade keeps the hole tidy, and the included belt sheath means it rides on your hip, not lost in the grass behind you.
At a glance
The CKG Metal Detecting Digging Tool is a 10.24 in (26 cm) steel hand digger with double serrated edges, a non-slip handle, and an included belt-loop sheath. Blade width 2.76 in (7 cm), thickness 1.18 in (3 cm), weight 0.45 kg (1 lb). Two versions: black rubberized handle in stainless steel, yellow TPR handle in high-strength Mn steel.
Why this digger, and which color
The two colors are not just paint. CKG lists the Black-handle tool with a stainless steel blade and an ergonomic rubberized grip; the Yellow-handle tool runs a high-strength Mn steel blade with a TPR non-slip grip, and the yellow is the one you can find again in tall grass at dusk. Same printed dimensions, same 0.45 kg (1 lb) working weight, same saw-tooth edges either way. Dealer pages for this tool routinely skip the steel type and even the sheath; both matter, because the sheath with belt loop is the difference between a tool you carry and a tool you leave in the last hole. At 1 lb it is heavy enough to bite hard ground without wearing out your forearm on a hundred-target day at the park, the beach dry sand, or a plowed relic field.
