My dad did the same thing with a pick axe and some gas pipe. Worked a treat on stony ground, but then so did a normal iron bar.

Long iron bar works well. Clay, sandy & stone etc., mine worked well through all of those. I had fun digging that pit.

That one I used was around 2" hex, if I recall. Held up extremely well. Probably a few inches shorter than it was though, if the pickaxe wear was anything to go by.

That can be very jarring on the arms.

My contribution, I modified a regular spade by cutting it off and welded the blade 90° to the shaft.
Designed to do one thing only, bring up loose soil from deep pole holes when it's to deep for a straight spade.

Makes digging a lot faster as since it allows smaller diameter to be dug .

There's always one has to come along with a bigger, better tool.
