Handle you can to a shovel that's easy on the back

[FettsWay]

Recently on This Old House, Roger showed an accessory you can add as a second shovel handle, it looked like the middle handle of a weedeater.

It allows your grip to be elevated so you don't have to bend over as much when you shovel.

He said hardware stores have them, but Lowe's was clueless.

Any seen these? Got a brand name?

this is the concept I am talking about. Although the one Roger showed did look more like a weedeater handle that brackets to the middle of the shovel handle. But I think yours would have the same affect.

I might check with Home Depot as they are sponser This OLD HOUSE.
