RotoShovel - Handheld Automatic Shovel
"With RotoShovel, you can drill it, dig it, scoop it, or plant it!" Ugh, battery-operated automatic shovel making it easier or not, none of those activities sound fun to me. But, alas, I have a mama, and my mama has demands. And come the first day of Spring, those demands are all going to require this dude to drill it, dig it scoop it, and plant it in her yard.
The 22" electric RotoShovel is designed to drastically reduce the grunt work involved in cutting and scooping out holes 3" wide, and up to 7" deep. You can use its power auger to help you: plant bulbs, flowers, vegetables, and small shrubs; install mailbox posts, fence posts, and real estate signs; and perform small excavation projects.
The automatic shovel also has an automatic safety shutoff feature, triggered if its spiraling blade hits a rock or root, or you accidentally release the thumb trigger and drop the shovel.
The RotoShovel can dig and scoop for around 2 hours before it needs a recharge, which is way longer than my own body can go. My mama knows if she's got me on manual labor duty, there better be some triple-stacked ham sandwiches, gooey butter bars, and homemade lemonade - or at least Sharkleberry Fin Kool-Aid - rolling out every hour, on the hour.
The RotoShovel handheld automatic shove is a top Dude Gift for the Garden pick.
