REVIEWS and Q&A

As advertised from what I can tell

The only concern I have is that it might bend over time. I would have made a solid handle for it if I were them.

Useful, lightweight; a top product for poop holes

I needed at least one more DIG DIG Tool so I have one in each pack. It's not a good day to need to poop in the woods, and I don't have my Vargo DIG DIG Tool to dig a proper hole. So lightweight! Also, may serve as tent stake. Thank you for a great design!

I have a deuce of spades trowel which is fine for perfect soil conditions but that is rarely the case. The handle and serrated edges on the dig dig allow me too force my way through rooted soil without cutting into my hand. Wish I’d purchased this first..

I dig the way this tool provides functional multi-use options in a single compact ultra light tool. A digger, a scraper, a staker, and much more.

The perfect tool for the job

The 'Dig Dig Tool' is really a very helpful addition to any kind of tour as well as in the basecamp! It can not only be used excellently for the spade, but is also good, e.g. really as a herring substitute - I have had to support our group tarp with it several times and it worked very well! :) It is also great for layering coals or embers in the fire, digging up spruce roots or cutting nettles. It is really very versatile!

This is a replacement for the one I left behind on day 2 of the PCT

Great multi purpose tool

Road tested the digging tool excellent for the job it does.

I really dig the Dig It Tool! Light & very versatile.

Additionally, its rounded top allows you to use a two-handed technique for even more dirt digging power and leverage.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)

From Brian Vargo – For many years, customers have asked me to design a titanium trowel. I resisted the idea because when I design products I like to be inspired to create something new and improved, not just make something like all the others. Most trowels at the time were basically simple spade shovels that hurt my hands when using, and only had a single purpose. My first thought was that I should angle the sides to make using the trowel less painful. My second thought was that it would be nice if the trowel were able to cut through roots, which I often run into in the woods of Pennsylvania where I live, so I added serrations to the side. Lastly, when thinking if there were any other way to improve the design, I thought about the times when the ground is just too soft for a normal tent stake to hold, it would be great if the trowel could also convert to a tent stake. I’m a sailor/boater by hobby and decided to use a boat cleat design to attach a tent guy-line to the trowel. As far as the product name, there is a tool called a Hori Hori gardening knife. The name comes from Japan. The word “Hori” or “Horu” means to dig. It’s a funny name but I used it in naming the Dig Dig Tool.

I introduced the Dig Dig Tool at the Outdoor Retailer trade show in 2017. To my great surprise, GearInstitute.com named it the Best New Gear of the year. I never thought a simple trowel would win such an award but appreciated the recognition. Unfortunately, the popularity of the Dig Dig Tool led unscrupulous companies to copy my design and sell their own knock-off version. I didn’t patent the original design as I never thought a competitor would be so shitty as to copy a poop shovel!
