Telegraph digger bars are designed for heavier duty breaking and incorporate an extra wide chisel edge, to speed up the digging process, and a pointed tip for focused impacts when breaking concrete or rock.
The telegraph digger bar is the heaviest digging bar available, weighing about 2¾kg (6lb). Its long length of 2.8m (9ft) makes it ideal for lining up tall posts.
This kind of bar is suitable for heavy duty digging tasks, such as:
Planting a telegraph pole (as the name suggests!)
Public works such as lamp posts, traffic lights, and signposts
