The hydro excavation remote dig system provides for a primary and secondary dig tube attachments that permit a vacuum truck to be used for a remote dig setup. Specifically, the attachments include various attachable handles, corrugated tubing that connects to a reinforcement bar device with releasable clamps to maintain the corrugated tubing in an elongated state during use, a debris box with an integrated safety valve, and a dig tip.

A loader includes a support frame, having a handle disposed at a first end and a pair of wheels, connected by an axle, disposed at a second end, a ratchet column disposed between the pair of wheels along the axle, including a plurality of grooves, a bucket lift frame secured to the support frame at a first end of the bucket lift frame, a ratchet column pin, configured to releasably engage the plurality of grooves, secured to the bucket lift frame, a loading bucket pivotably secured to a second end of the bucket lift frame, a bucket dump lever pivotably secured to the bucket lift frame and a bucket control arm secured at a first end to the loading bucket and at a second end to the bucket dumper lever. The bucket dump lever is configured to move the loading bucket from a loading position to a dumping position.

A digging implement including: a digging head (16); a substantially elongated main shaft (12) extending from the digging head (16); a main handle (14) secured to the main shaft (12) substantially opposed to the digging head (16); and an auxiliary handle assembly (140) and a footplate assembly (160) both mounted to the main shaft (12) between the digging head (16) and the main handle (14), the auxiliary handle assembly (140) and foot plate assembly (160) being each mountable to the main shaft (12) at different longitudinally spaced apart positions therealong.

An electrical handheld shovel system includes a handheld shovel with an auger bit. The shovel includes a motor configured to rotate the auger bit and a portable power source configured to power the motor. The shovel includes an input/output (I/O) device and a controller to control rotation of the auger bit. The shovel has a handle and a shovel portion. In one example, the power source is integrated into the handle, and in another example, the power source is detachably coupled to the handle. The shovel has a gearbox coupled to the motor. The shovel portion includes a blade positioned proximal to the auger bit to retain debris from the auger bit. The auger bit has a flute that is partially covered by the blade, and the blade defines a discharge opening configured to discharge at least some of the debris.

A handheld trenching apparatus and method of forming a trench in ground using the apparatus. The apparatus has a frame, a cutting head, and a drive. The cutting head has a ground penetrating portion with a plurality of cutting members that are caused to be moved in a controlled path by the drive. The frame has an elongate frame part with the cutting head at one frame part end. The frame further has at least one graspable region spaced lengthwise of the elongate frame part from the first elongate frame part end. The ground penetrating portion is directed into the ground and while engaging the at least one graspable region the ground penetrating portion is moved in a trench forming direction as the drive is operated to thereby form a trench.
