Then you wonder how you ever managed without it. I bought this spud bar in 2019 and have used it for everything from removing shrubs to digging out rocks to taking down a surprisingly large crape myrtle. Whenever a project reaches the point where shovels, mattocks, and brute force stop being effective, this is usually what comes out next. What makes it so effective is the combination of weight and leverage. The bar carries enough momentum to: * cut through stubborn roots * break up compacted soil * pry out large rocks * loosen deeply established shrubs and small trees It's heavy, but that's exactly why it works. One thing I noticed is that the shaft does have some flex when you're really leaning on it during prying operations. But after years of use I've never experienced any permanent bending or deformation. The flex actually seems beneficial when applying a lot of leverage. Durability has been excellent. After six years of hard use it remains one of the most useful landscaping tools I own. That said, I do want to offer a word of caution because I think people underestimate these things. Of all the tools in my shop and yard, this is probably the one I've managed to injure myself with the most. That's not a fault of the tool—it's a consequence of what it is. The combination of: * significant weight * long reach * sharp working end * high momentum means you need to stay aware of where it's going at all times. When that cutting end is several feet away from your hands, it's surprisingly easy to lose track of what it, or you, are about to hit. I genuinely put spud bars in the category of tools that deserve respect right alongside chainsaws and table saws. They're incredibly effective, but they aren't something to use carelessly. If you regularly tackle: * landscaping projects * shrub removal * root cutting * rock removal * tough digging jobs this is an outstanding tool and worth every penny. Just remember that it's not a glorified digging bar—it's a serious piece of equipment that can generate a tremendous amount of force. Treat it accordingly and it'll make difficult outdoor projects dramatically easier. Review: Solid steel bar - If you are digging holes and need to chop through things like roots, old boards or posts, or pry stones out of the way, this is for you. Nothing about it is delicate, and nothing about it is light. This is a serious tool that will give you a serious workout when you use it, but will do the job when lesser tools might bend or break. I like how the chisel end is wider than most, it seems to get more done per swing without being oversized, which works well for breaking up extremely hard soils or even things like prying sidewalk pavers up. Well made in the USA with heavy steel, and comes with a lifetime warranty. ## Features - GARDEN TAMPER TOOL AND DIGGING BAR FOR TOUGH ROCKY GROUND: This heavy duty digging bar features a 1" diameter solid steel bar with a 3/8" thick blade end for cutting through dirt, clay, mud, and rocky terrain and a flat plate end for tamping and smoothing backfill; the ultimate combination of a steel tamper tool and digging bar for all yard, landscaping, and job site applications - GARDENING TOOLS GRADE ALL-STEEL CONSTRUCTION FROM 100% USA-MADE STEEL: Built from 100% American-made solid steel designed to withstand demanding jobs season after season; thick steel construction adds the perfect weight to ease digging and tamping; powder coat finish prevents rust and extends tool life across all soil and weather conditions on this heavy duty digging bars application - VERSATILE GARDEN DIGGING TOOLS USE - POST HOLE DIGGING, STUMP REMOVAL, AND ROOT CUTTING: Ideal for post hole digging, stump removal, tree root cutter tool tasks, and root cutter applications; breaks through compacted soil, loosens dirt, and removes tree stumps with ease; essential for trenching tool work, breaking tough soil, clearing debris, and all heavy duty landscaping and demolition tasks - 68" LENGTH FOR MAXIMUM LEVERAGE - TAMPER SOIL AND DEEP DIGGING APPLICATIONS: At 68", this pry bar offers excellent leverage to apply more force with less effort; flip the bar over to use the flat steel plate end as a dirt tamper tool and ground tamper tool to tamper soil and smooth backfill - ideal for digging tasks and tamper tool landscaping projects - SPUD BAR AND TAMPING TOOL FOR LANDSCAPING, PAVERS, AND HARDSCAPE WORK: Functions as a reliable tamping bar, hand tamper, soil tamping tool, rock bar, and spud bar for all digging and tamping applications; ideal for setting pavers for landscaping installations, compacting soil around hardscape, and leveling ground before laying pavers or construction materials - 100% MADE IN USA BY A TRUSTED FAMILY-OWNED AMERICAN BRAND: Proudly manufactured by Bully Tools - a family-owned company based in Steubenville, Ohio, producing 100% Made in USA professional-grade garden tamper tool sets, digging bars, and heavy duty landscaping tools and equipment for over a decade; no assembly required ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00KOMT36G | | Best Sellers Rank | #73,863 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #1,704 in Gardening Hand Tools #15,580 in Camping & Hiking Equipment | | Brand Name | BULLY TOOLS | | Country of Origin | United States | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (367) | | Date First Available | May 30, 2014 | | Included Components | Bully Tools 92539 Steel Tamping and Digging Bar, 68-Inch | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 68 x 3 x 3 inches | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 71 x 4.4 x 3 inches | | Item Weight | 16.2 pounds | | Manufacturer | Bully Tools | | Material | Plastic | | Model Name | 92539 | | Package Weight | 7.42 kg | | Part Number | 92539 | | Size | Pack of 1 | | Suggested Users | Unisex-Adult | | Warranty Description | Warranty | ## Images ![Bully Tools 68" Steel Tamping Digging Bar, Heavy Duty Spud Bar - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51BM-SJ4pwL.jpg) ![Bully Tools 68" Steel Tamping Digging Bar, Heavy Duty Spud Bar - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51-bYyECprL.jpg) ![Bully Tools 68" Steel Tamping Digging Bar, Heavy Duty Spud Bar - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51cqCYsGPrL.jpg) ![Bully Tools 68" Steel Tamping Digging Bar, Heavy Duty Spud Bar - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51CmET5CxTL.jpg) ![Bully Tools 68" Steel Tamping Digging Bar, Heavy Duty Spud Bar - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/314yhBCm8BL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Did anyone use it to pry up a tree stump or anything heavy duty? I want to make sure it wont bend.** A: I had to pry on concrete and it did start to bend a little bit. All I did was turn it around to bend it back. You can put a lot of leverage on the tip with a 68" handle. **Q: How wide is the tamping end?** A: I think it may be 2 1/2 across. **Q: How wide is the sharp end of the bar? I need it to cut through 2" tree roots to clear the way for the post hole digger. Thank you.** A: 2 months and we still dont know, gretchen... **Q: Why is a pack of two bully tools 92539 steel tamping and digging bar, 68-inch 3x the price of one with shipping? $40 for one but $168 for two?** A: I buy one, one day and buy another the next day, if you want 2. I think it’s the packaging of the two together, because they are heavy and well made, so take sturdier packaging, plus it may put them into a different shipping rate category. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A beast of a tool for roots, rocks, and stubborn landscaping jobs *by N***V on May 29, 2026* This is one of those tools that seems almost absurdly simple until you actually need one.

This digging bar works well for clay and soil with tree roots and construction debris. New homes tend to have a bunch of construction debris in the top soil and then you hit the clay a foot or so into the hole. This bar makes quick work of the debris and easily cuts the clay. This is not a pry bar and when used as intended I don’t expect that I will ever need to replace the tool. I like the larger cutting head compared to the big box bars that have a 1 inch taper head. Well worth the investment IMHO. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bully Tools 92539 Steel Tamping and Digging Bar, 68-Inch - VNIMTI Post Hole Digger Tool, Heavy Duty Post Hole Digger with Fiberglass Handle, 58 Inches - Bully Tools 92448 Steel Tamping and Digging Bar, 48-Inch --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ec/products/2334641-bully-tools-68-steel-tamping-digging-bar-heavy-duty-spud](https://www.desertcart.ec/products/2334641-bully-tools-68-steel-tamping-digging-bar-heavy-duty-spud) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ecuador* *Store origin: EC* *Last updated: 2026-09-27*
