About Kelso Tools

Kelso is an Australian tool brand engineered for the toughest digging, shifting, trenching and landscaping jobs. Built around reinforced steel cores, heavy-gauge blades and fibreglass long handles, Kelso tools are made to stand up to daily trade use in concrete, clay, gravel and hard ground.

From square mouth concrete shovels and trenching shovels to garden spades, post hole shovels, post hole pincers, tampers, rakes and garden forks, the Kelso range covers fencing contractors, plumbers, landscapers, builders and serious home gardeners. Bundle packs make it easy to kit out a whole crew with consistent, dependable tools.

Shovels – Concrete, Trenching, Shifting & Post Hole

The Kelso shovel range is built for heavy-duty work. The All-Steel Concrete Shovel features a square mouth for shifting and mixing concrete, gravel and aggregate. The Trenching Shovel uses a narrow precision blade and reinforced fibreglass long handle to dig clean, straight trenches for cables, pipes and irrigation. The Shifting Shovel with square mouth is perfect for moving loose material, while the Post Hole Shovel with round mouth and reinforced steel core handles deep, narrow holes.

Each Kelso shovel uses a reinforced steel core through the handle for extra strength where it matters, paired with a fibreglass shaft for shock absorption and long service life.

Garden Spades & Forks

The Kelso Garden Spade features a D-handle, reinforced steel core and fibreglass shaft for controlled digging, edging and bed preparation. The Kelso Garden Fork is purpose-built for heavy clay soils, making it ideal for digging, cultivating, turning compost and aerating lawns.

Both tools are designed for serious garden work—tough enough for compacted ground, comfortable enough for a full day in the yard.

Post Hole Pincers & Tampers

For fencing and landscaping, the Kelso Post Hole Pincer (1500mm length) lets you dig deep, consistent post holes by hand—perfect for fence posts, pergolas and star pickets. Once the post is set, the Kelso Tamper with 254mm × 254mm heavy-duty base compacts asphalt, gravel and dirt around posts, paver bases and pathways for a solid, long-lasting finish.

Landscaping Rakes & Plumber's Shovels

The Kelso Landscapers Rake features 18 teeth for spreading soil, gravel and mulch, levelling sites and breaking up compacted ground. The Kelso Plumber's Shovel, backed by a 25-year warranty, is a heavy-duty shovel purpose-built for digging drains, laying pipe and working in tight trenches.

Both tools are sold in bundle packs—an efficient, cost-effective way for plumbers, landscapers and contractors to kit out multiple crews.
