Features of the Mole miracle shovel and independent tool making
Garden work can be very exhausting and time consuming. To help summer residents, convenient and multifunctional hand tools have been created, including the miracle shovel Mole. This handy tool helps you work a large plot of land in record time, while reducing stress on your back. Due to the original design, the Mole miracle shovel will become a good helper for a beginner or experienced gardener and gardener.
Miracle shovel Mole: design features
As a standard, there are 5 teeth on it, and on the working bed there are 6 of them, although the number of teeth may differ depending on the type of tool. The teeth are located opposite each other, due to which they do not touch when lifting the working parts of the shovel.
On the back side of the bed there is an arcuate support for the leg, which outwardly resembles an inverted letter "P". In front, a fragment of the fixed frame is slightly raised and can be used as a support for loosening.
The dimensions of the Mole shovel, depending on the model, are 40-50 cm, the teeth - up to 23-26 cm. They are made of steel. The mass of the tool reaches 4-5 kg. This weight is quite enough for soil loosening to be carried out with minimal effort and time.
Differences between the Mole shovel and other tools
The Mole miracle shovel is available in several modifications, one of which is a tool called the Plowman. Each type of instrument has its own characteristics and purpose.
What is the difference between the miracle shovel Mole and the Plowman - this modification, in contrast to the standard device, was developed specifically for loosening the soil. The range of teeth length for this type of tool is 12-15 cm. Thanks to this, the Plowman easily processes various types of soil, quickly enters the ground, regardless of the worker's weight.
Shovel-miracle Mole is significantly different from the usual bayonet shovel. To drive the bayonet tool into the soil, the worker needs to make every effort - bend over, lift the shovel with a lump of soil and turn it over. This puts an increased stress on not only the arms, but also the abdominal and back muscles. When loosening with a Mole, the load is only on the hands, so the work becomes longer and more productive.
Tool application
The mechanism of how the Mole miracle shovel works is very simple and is based on the principle of a lever.
Tool usage guide:
- install the device in an area that requires loosening;
- the handle of the tool, which serves as a lever, must be in an upright position;
- put the teeth on the working forks perpendicular to the soil and immerse them in the ground under the weight of the working frame;
- if the teeth have entered the ground, partially press your foot on the metal bar or the back stop of the working forks;
- press the tool handle first towards you, then down.
After the working forks have lifted a clod of earth and pushed it through the counter teeth of the ripper, pull the miracle shovel back along the bed and continue working.
In which areas the Mole is not used
On some land plots, the Mole garden shovel cannot be used. This tool is not suitable for cultivating virgin lands overgrown with wheatgrass. First of all, such a site must be processed with a walk-behind tractor or a bayonet shovel and only after that use the Mole.
The multi-tool is not intended for use on clayey hard or rocky ground. In such cases, it is easier to use a bayonet shovel.

Every gardener or gardener can make the Mole miracle shovel on their own. For this you will need steel bars for the teeth and square tubes for the frame. The handle can be purchased separately or removed from an old shovel.
A drawing with the dimensions of the Mole miracle shovel can be used standard or you can change the parameters, adjusting them to your individual requirements, height, weight and level of physical development.
For the manufacture of stops and the frame of the structure, a metal square tube is used, for the teeth of the movable forks - hardened steel.
Self-production of the Mole miracle shovel:
- Sharpen one of the edges of the steel pins with a grinder at an angle of 15-30 °.
- Weld the jumper from the metal pipe onto the stationary frame, attach the pins of the opposite forks to it. For their manufacture, you can use reinforcement, the edges should not be sharpened.
- Connect the two parts of the forks using a hinge made of steel strip. For this purpose, bend two arcs, drill holes and bolt the parts together.
- Weld a fragment of a round pipe to the rail of the movable forks.
- Insert the handle into the resulting nest - new or removed from an old shovel.
- For maximum convenience and ease of use, attach a T-bar to the top of the tool handle.
After completing all work, test the finished device in operation. If it is convenient to use it, it means that the dimensions of the Mole miracle shovel were selected correctly.
