The present invention is a foldable demountable digging tool that is reasonable in cost, simple and rugged in construction, small in size and light in weight, and safe and easy to carry and use. These features are obtained by pivotally attaching a holding member to one end of a digging member, permitting the holding member to be folded into the concave side of the digging member, with the handle end of the holding member slightly overlapping the pointed end of the digging member. The folding action permits the tool to be reduced in length to approximately one-half of its opened length.
