Corona Digging Bar - 69" Forged Steel - Heavy-duty Tool for Digging, Tamping & Fracturing Rock

CORONA Digging Bar - 69" Forged Steel - Heavy-Duty Tool for Digging, Tamping & Fracturing Rock

When you face ground that is too dense, rocky, or hard for a shovel, you need a tool built for uncompromising force and leverage. The Corona Digging Bar is an industrial-grade tool engineered for heavy-duty ground work. Forged and tempered for extreme toughness, this 69-inch heavy steel bar features a wide, thick blade for efficient digging and breaking, combined with a flat tamp end. This design makes it the single most reliable tool for penetrating hard clay, fracturing rock, and compacting soil around forms or posts.

Best For The commercial contractor, utility worker, or heavy-duty landscaper requiring an ultra-tough, long-reach bar for fracturing rock, digging trenches in compacted soil, and compacting backfill around fence posts.

Key Features

• Extreme Forged and Tempered Steel: Constructed from single-piece, heavy forged, tempered steel, the bar is hardened for maximum toughness, prying strength, and safety, guaranteeing a long service life under continuous, rigorous use.

• Efficient Digging Blade: Features a wide, thick blade for efficient digging in dense, heavy, and rocky soils, allowing you to scrape, pry, and lift material that a standard spade cannot penetrate.

• Integrated Tamping Head: The opposite end is designed as a flat tamp for compacting soils securely around fence posts, forms, and footings, eliminating the need for a separate tamper tool.

• Maximum 69" (175cm) Leverage: The extra-long length provides maximum leverage and reach, allowing the user to exert powerful force for breaking hard material or driving the blade deep into the soil while minimizing bending and back strain.

• Versatile Ground Preparation: The sharpened blade is ideal for fracturing rock, breaking concrete, and severing large root systems, significantly accelerating preparation work in challenging environments.

• 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
