Digger's tool is a term used to refer to the tools used by people who work in excavation and construction. The two most common tools used are a SHOVEL and a PICKAXE. A SHOVEL is a tool with a curved blade at the end of a long handle, used for digging or lifting material. A PICKAXE is a tool with a pointed head at the end of a long handle, used for breaking up hard surfaces such as rock or concrete. Both tools are essential for any digger's job.
