Add-On Foot "Pusher" Makes Digging Easier FENCING Miscellaneous 30-5-28 vYou can do a lot more work with less foot pain using the new "Dig Rig" from inventor Fred Churchman, Baton Rouge, La.
The molded plastic attachment fits over the top of the shovel. It measures 8 1/2 in. wide and has a 3 1/4-in. wide lip, so instead of stepping down on the shovel blade's narrow ledge you're stepping down on a much bigger area.
"It reduces stress on your foot, ankle, leg and back and also provides more leverage for digging," says Churchman.
The unit simply clamps onto the spade's handle, just above the shovel using a pair of self-locking, automotive-type hose clamps.
Churchman says the unit will be on the market soon but will be sold only through big discount stores. It will sell for less than $8.
