A hand-powered, all-steel tool designed to open a narrow seam for residential fiber drops without removing soil.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-14 issue.
For
Residential fiber-drop contractors and field crews
Worth noticing
The page lists a 0.15-inch blade and 43-inch overall height, and cautions that the prototype’s 11-inch reach may not meet every network owner's burial spec.

Field notes

The described workflow uses body weight on a 14-inch foot bar and a 19-inch handle to part the soil, then relies on boots to press the sod closed. The page says the design comes from four years of residential drop work, but labels the dimensions as prototype specifications and tells buyers to verify the reach against their network owner's burial rules.
