Trenching spade has gotta be the best tool, only trouble is when your 2 foot down, you cant get all the loose stuff out of the bottom, i keep thinking of soup ladles for some strange reason to combat this, beats getting down on your knees and using your gloved hand.....

That is why that trowel is good to get past the 2'.
But you still have to get down on your hands and knees...

i was doing a fence today funny enough
absolute nightmare
built up ground
roots up to 2 1/2 inches from adjacent laurels
old concrete fence post 18 inches down
but for the holes my trusty hole shovel ,not the long one but the concave one,great for getting a nice round hole, i always try and go 700 deep to get a bit of crete under the post,plus i can get my arm and a pointing trowel that far down

Couldn't be without my small tool trowel, brilliant for arrowhead pointing and smoothing over all those hard to reach places, also doubles as a flathead screwdriver if you can't find one..

My favourite tool has to be the eazybarra multi purpose barra for moving slabs. It saves so much time and effort without the need to lift.
