The already-existing device is essentially composed of an arm 5 and 8 articulated at one of its ends 7 with the collar 6 into which the handle 1, 2, 3 of the tool passes; which arm is inserted between the front hand and the handle in order to avoid the user bending down to grasp the handle with the front hand. The improvement consists in applying the lever principle of the first sort, in this case the beam and scales principle in which the actual tool 1, 2, 3, 4 is substantially the balance arm: The length of the balance arm for resistance 3, 4 is less than that of the balance arm for power 1, 2. Moreover, the latter is increased to a maximum. The intrinsic thrust of the rear hand for counterbalancing the weight of the earth is thus reduced to a minimum. The total weight lifted by the front hand is the sum of the weight of the tool and twice the weight of the load of earth. <IMAGE>
