This tool is similar to a pipe tools shovel that I posted a while back, except for a few extra steps which turn it into a handy little hoe. It's very tough and costs almost nothing. The blade can be modified to have teeth, a sharp point, or whatever you can think of.
Once at a garage saw I picked up some 10' pieces of 1.25" galvanized chain-link fence pipe for $1 each. I use the pipe for just about everything from making a pole saw to making tools like these.
Tools needed to make this are a hack saw, pliers, tin snips, hammer, and a drill.
Materials needed, a 1.25" thin walled pipe (I think its the same as electrical conduit), a long bolt, some tape.

Signing UpStep 1Cut some pipe and open it
Cut about a 12 inch section of pipe with a hack saw. Then cut 1/3 of the way down the pipe; cut into it almost all the way through, leaving some metal to hold the pieces together. Then cut lengthwise with the hacksaw from the end to the other cut, making a "T" opening. Bend the whole piece open, being careful not to stress the connecting piece too much.
