KiKKA DiGGA Backsaver Digging Attachment for Garden Forks & Spades

I love gardening, but bending over a spade for an hour usually leaves me in bits the next day. A friend recommended the KiKKA DiGGA, and it’s completely changed things. It lets you stand completely upright while you dig. You just use your foot weight to push it down, and the clever pivot pops the dirt right out. The foot pedal is nice and wide, so your foot feels secure and your ankle doesn't twist when you're pressing down. It takes a couple of minutes to get used to the rhythm of the mechanical click, but once you do, it makes digging effortless. Worth every penny to save your back.

I just wanted to let you know, I've dug over 2 tons of soil using this tool. For a middle-aged lady with an arthritis condition, this is no mean feat! How much does a yard of topsoil weigh? A cubic yard of typical topsoil weighs about 2700 pounds or 1.35 tons. A square yard of a garden with a depth of 1 foot (30.48 cm) weighs about 900 pounds (410 kg) or slightly less than half a ton. The water content of the soil is assumed to be that of a moderately damp (e.g. freshly dug). That I've dug so much, speaks volumes that it has paid for itself. Brilliant - I'd never have been able to do that using just a conventional fork. Last year in lockdown, using the original Kikka Digga, I dug a small pond and an entire border, planted 40 cabbages, sprouts and broccoli; carrots; onions; leeks; potatoes and asparagus. A welcome and mood lifting supplement to our lockdown food supply. This year I am planning on digging over the lawn to lay gravel so I have enlisted help and I have now received the new 2021 version as an upgrade. I have to say I am very impressed by the new "lever" screw fitting which is much easier than the original knobs for painful hands (though they gave good grip, anything that is easy on the wrist really helps!). It is a very good idea. At a time when paid gardeners are hard to come by, and we have to do it ourselves or endure virtual monkeys swinging from the trees and tigers in the long grass as the garden becomes so overgrown (!) due to the awful relentless hot wet weather we've endured - this is an absolute backsaver. Thank you!

perfect for my hubby who does a lot of digging on our allotment no more aching back or back strain I was doubtful about the Kikka Digga being any good but it really is amazing, worth every penny I would highly recomend this product, it would be even better if it was made like the old back saving digger with the spring

Pros : works really well on a flat area of cultivated soil. With a bad back you can still dig a bed over very quickly. It's cheap and simple to install and use. Cons : Attaching to the stem can be tricky; I have an ergonomic tall spade and I had to force it on because the stem is wide and curves sharply above the blade. The shape of your spade matters! The first few times I used it, I had to keep tightening up the bolts, but then it was fine. You can't dig down without a surface for the pivot to rest on so a deep trench or whole needs to start off quite wide. Overall, this has been a godsend for me (just used it for a few weeks so far) and I heartily recommend it

Great tool to help prevent back when digging

It didn't fit one of my forks as the forks were too thick which isn't a problem as I could soon grind it down to fit. However I have a long handled fork which it did fit and I prefer the longer handle so will use this one. I usually use a rotavator but it hadn't gone down as deep as I would like on some new ground I broke so have used it on this so far starting with digging the potatoes. Brilliant. To finish the potato ground I have now dug between the rows to break the pan. My soil is heavy so doesn't get flicked like the videos but it sure makes it easier to lift it. I was contemplating making something similar but when the price came down to £29.95 I concluded it wasn't worth the effort. Would I buy again? Yes at that price.

Easy ordering, fast delivery, as described and seems robustly made. Very easy to put on and take off for swapping between spade and fork. There are 'wings' on the fastening bolts so no need for spanners or tools to tighten them. I was a little sceptical at first but wanted to make garden and allotment digging easier and quicker so decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did as it has made the tasks much easier to accomplish with less back strain. I wouldn't use it for trying to break up hard, compacted earth as I wouldn't want to break it. Very happy with this purchase and it seems a fair price for what it does. .

Looks like a good idea to prevent back strain through digging but in practice : 1. It was hard to figure out how to attach it - flow diagrams are not enough imo, 2. The extended 'foot' was positioned at right angles to the shaft meaning the user has to twist his ankle at right angles - if you have an ankle injury it would exerbate it. The video shows a seasoned gardener with no ankle injury. 3 . The item was awkward to use and the loose foot clunks around as it is not secured. IMO the product needs a re-•think. I disconnected it and used my lighter std stainless steel fork . The test took place on my allotment which I have gardened for about 10 years until I had a stroke two years ago. Things like weeding are a bit difficult now.

ottimo prodotto, non facile al montaggio dal momento che bisogna cercare sia un bastone sia un forcone che si adatti alle dimensioni dello strumento; difficilmente da ancorare alla base del forcone ma si può avvitare all'altezza massima lo consiglio ti aiuta davvero a vangare il terreno con la merà della fatica
