In the manufacture of shovels used durable steel and the weight of the structure is 4-5 kg. However, this does not interfere with the work, because the tool does not need to be lifted all the time.
The main components of this design are:
- Stalk.
- Rear and front stop.
- Ripper forks.
- Forks for digging.
- Mounts.
The main part of the Mole wonder shovel is the usual pitchfork. A handle is attached to them, and a backstop mechanism is attached to the sides. In front are another forks that converge into the castle. Their main function is to break up lumps of earth. If the area is clay or heavily rammed soil, this function becomes necessary.

Then, when moving down with his hands, the earth rises and breaks against unsharpened teeth and frame. The soil raised in this way is loosened, and the weeds with their roots turn upward, shaking off lumps of earth. They can only be collected.
Working with such a shovel, it is enough to make a minimum of effort. Moreover, the force must be applied in a downward direction.
