Abstract: A tubing connection comprising an elongated opening in a first tube member and a pair of opposed slots cut in the end of a second tube forming a pair of tabs which are flattened and inserted through the elongated opening. The tabs are spread to conform with the inside contour of the first tube member and a tubular insert is press fit between the spread tabs. A perforation is punched through the first tube member at a location such that it penetrates one of the spread tabs and the tubular insert. The perforation is indented locking the tab to the first tube member to prevent rotation giving a strong rigid connection.

Abstract: A post hole digger comprising arm members having a spade end and a handle end with a scissor-type connection proximate their spade end and a bend proximate their handle end such that the central portion of the arms are on opposite sides from their spade ends while the handle ends are on the same side as their spade ends, thus enabling the digging of deeper holes without having the arm members bind at the hole opening.
