Metallics F4TS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size blade and handle does the Metallics F4TS trench shovel have?
The F4TS is a trench shovel with a 4 inch blade on a 48 inch handle. The narrow blade is what makes it a trenching tool rather than a general digging shovel: it cuts a tight slot for direct-burial cable, conduit runs, and grounding electrode conductors instead of opening a wide hole you then have to backfill.
2) Is a 4 inch trench shovel the right tool for digging in conduit or direct burial cable, or should I use a regular round point shovel?
For narrow trench work, the 4 inch blade is the one you want. A round point shovel moves volume and is better for breaking ground and clearing spoil, but it opens a trench far wider than a single conduit or UF cable run needs. The F4TS, with its 4 inch blade and 48 inch handle, cuts a slot sized close to the run, which means less excavation, less backfill, and less surface restoration on a finished site. Crews commonly carry both: a round point to break and clear, the trench shovel to clean the trench to width and depth.
3) How do I order the Metallics trench shovel, and is there more than one version?
There is one configuration, ordered as Metallics model F4TS. No handle length or blade width options to specify, so the part number alone is the order.
