DirtSaw Deuce #3

The NEW Patent Pending DirtSaw® Deuce® urges you to rethink what a “trowel” is and how to use it.  The DirtSaw® feature is an evolutionary design change with revolutionary implications. It’s so much faster and easier to dig a poop-hole that it begs the question: can it even be called a 'trowel' any more if you use it "the usual way" less than 1/3rd of the time? The DirtSaw® literally saws the ground with teeth that are specifically designed for dirt – they’re wide and smooth – so they agitate and cut dirt like a serrated knife but they don't snag on roots or threaten to cut your hand. Even better: DirtSaw® teeth work best when they’re rounded with use.

Upside down is how you’ll use the Deuce® about a third of the time: first use it handle down to probe the top 3” for rocks or roots that might spoil your hole; probing like this is a fantastic time-saving feature of the Deuce®. Next, use it this way to saw the outline of the top of the hole (yes, this was the inspiration for the DirtSaw® on the other end). Deeper in the hole, use it the same way to break up hard dirt and pry out rocks. With The Deuce® the workflow of making your poop-hole is one of continually changing grip as you saw, pry and scoop your way to a true 6” to 8” deep hole.

Two deep notches on the front edge protect recessed teeth that you can sharpen (even with a nail file) to slice tenacious roots. They’re protected so they can stay sharp and they’re far enough away from the front edge that they don’t threaten your hand when using the Deuce® upside down.

Ray-bends are another new evolution this year. They make the Deuce® 65% stronger against bending in the middle and almost 3X stronger at the hole (and the elliptical hole shape is stronger too). Ray bends are also pretty cool looking and, lastly, they make it much harder to copy *ahem*. Oddly enough, one of the Deuce’s oldest features – its short handle – is a major enabler of the DirtSaw® and other functions. It not only allows user to exert more force by pushing on the shoulders and top of the trowel at the same time (using it the regular way), it has vastly better dexterity in deeper holes than longer handled trowels. It’s what lets you actually use the DirtSaw® feature deep in your hole where longer tools succumb to ever-narrowing hole syndrome. 

Made in the US and S. Korea of aerospace grade, US-produced 7075-T6 aluminum that meets MIL spec AMS4045 (the alloy alone does not guarantee high strength). It's the go-to aluminum for satellites and aircraft because high strength aluminum makes high strength products This grade of aluminum is available only in highly industrialized countries with technology and quality driven supply chains
