Abstract: An adjustable double handled shovel in which both handles are composed of grooved, telescopically mated sections for independent relative length adjustment and which are releasibly interconnected by a cross bar that both strengthens the handle assembly and permits adjustment of the relative angle between the two handles. Fasteners received with the grooves secure the mated sections together at the selected length. Adjustable handle grips are also releasibly secured to the ends of both handles by means of telescopic connectors and groove with fasteners for relative rotary movement relative to the handles. The blade portion of the shovel has a sharpened notched portion which engages and cuts obstructions while digging.
