When you take a look at these Bully Tools specialty shovels, a few things start to stick out. The mud shovels have holes in their shovels. One may think that you would lose productivity with holes in your shovels, but in actuality; these holes are strategically designed to provide drainage when working in all sorts of wet soils. These shovels each contain a fiberglass handle, with triple layer protection, as well as a welded rib for extra support.
