Digging Bar
A digging bar may be one of the most useful devices for any sort of fence repair project. This tool helps loosen up dirt around your fence posts and can also assist you in the process of removing fence posts from the ground. If that isn’t enough, it can even help tamper dirt when you are ready to do so. Digging bars are quite heavy and can be between 5 and 6 feet in length, but you’ll be glad you invested in one.
Shovel
