How to Choose the Right Trenching Tool for Your Project

Why a Trenching Tool Matters

A trenching tool is a simple-looking piece of equipment that will help you tackle difficult jobs with ease. When it’s time to set cables, water pipe or drainage lines a great tool is your best friend. The right one gives you straight trenches, minimal soil mess and better results.

Types of Trenching Tools

A wide variety of tools for cutting trenches are available, from dinky little hand tools to giant machines. Handheld trenching shovels are appropriate for small, shallow jobs. Walk-behind trenchers are capable of longer lines in gardens or small farms. For more intensive work, a tractor-mounted trencher or chain trencher digs through tough organic material and rocks quickly.

The Right Trenching Tool For You

When you want to choose the best hand trenching tool, there are three elements you have to look for:

• Soil: For soft, loose soil, tools should be simple. Machines are needed on hard or rocky ground.

• Trench size: For a shallow irrigation line, you might be able to get by with hand tools. If you have to go deeper for your utility trenching, then a chain trencher is the best option.

• Scale of the project: A homeowner might require little more than a manual tool. A contractor who is installing several hundred meters needs a beefier machine.

Safety Precautions When Working with a Trenching Tool

Even lightweight trenching tools can become dangerous if not handled with care. Always use gloves, boots, and eye protection. Keep outsiders out of the work area. If you’re hiring a tractor-mounted trencher, check that there are no concealed cables or pipes in the ground before you begin.
