3 x Kelso - Post Hole Shovel – Round Mouth – Reinforced Steel Core Fibreglass Long Handle (Bundle Pack)
The Kelso Post Hole Shovel is a specialized, high-leverage implement engineered for the precise excavation of deep, narrow cavities such as fence post holes and utility pits. This tool features a sophisticated handle design, utilizing a high-strength steel core encased in weather-resistant fibreglass to deliver maximum prying power and structural rigidity. The narrow, round-mouth blade is optimized for vertical digging and efficient soil clearing in confined spaces. Stability and safety are prioritized through the inclusion of non-slip mid and end grips, ensuring a secure hold even in wet or challenging conditions. Reinforced with a heavy-duty steel socket and collar, this shovel is built to withstand the intensive mechanical stress of professional fencing and construction projects.
Best For: Digging and clearing deep, narrow post holes for fencing; excavating footings and utility pits; and precision vertical digging in dense or compacted soil conditions.
Key Features
- Steel-Core Fibreglass Handle: Engineered with a robust steel core for extreme bending strength, paired with a fibreglass exterior that provides excellent weather resistance and shock absorption.
- Reinforced Steel Collar & Socket: Features an industrial-strength steel collar that reinforces the critical head-to-handle junction, preventing breakage during high-leverage prying.
- Advanced Non-Slip Grips: Equipped with strategically placed mid and end grips to provide superior tactile control and comfort, reducing hand slippage and operator fatigue.
- Specialized Post Hole Profile: The streamlined round-mouth design allows for surgical accuracy when creating uniform vertical holes with minimal soil disturbance.
- Extended Long-Handle Reach: The long handle length provides the necessary depth for deep-hole excavation while offering the leverage required to lift heavy loads of soil and debris.

- Deep-Root Excavation: Providing the leverage and narrow profile required to reach and sever deep taproots during land clearing or shrub removal.

Oversized Item Delivery Options
Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.
Available options include:
✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)
Important Notes:
- Shipping costs vary by location and method
- Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
- Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
- Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
- Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions
Business Delivery:
- Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
- If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
- Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment
See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.
Important Note on Availability & Shipping
Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).
How lead times work:
- Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.

- Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
- Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
- Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.
Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.
