Mark (Verified Buyer) 5/5

Rotoshovel easily cut my work time in half!

A fantastic tool for plantingin hard soil

Trej (Verified Buyer) 5/5

This is one of the best power gardening hand tools i have ever received. I have several other drill-type attachments for my drill that are great for planting. However, by adding a trowel to it, i was easily able to drill perfect holes in the hard dirt and it was broken up finely and soft and easy to plant. The battery lasts a very long time. I planted about 100 plants before the battery gave up. And, it only takes about an hour and a half to charge one. I really love this tool.

WONDERFUL tool for the garden!

Easy and effective!

This is the start of my second gardening season with the Rotoshovel. In a nutshell, it works! Great for planting bulbs and I have found it excellent for planting perennials in 2-3 quart pots.

Our Story

How Was the Rotoshovel Invented

I went outside to bury a speaker, but wanted a faster way to dig out the dirt. I looked at the tools in the garage: shovels, post hole diggers and augers. I got the idea for the Rotoshovel! Why isn’t there a powered shovel? I searched online but found nothing. I was surprised, but saw this as an incredible opportunity.
