What I want is something resembling a miniature
'post hole digger':

..With strong, 2" wide blades that would allow me
to grab these pieces from a moderate stoop.


Why not continue to use a regular post hole digger?


The blades are too large. Most often the blades
hang up on the interior of the hole, blocking
access to the chunk. Even if I can surround the
chunk with the blades, the chunk falls out the
bottom at earliest opportunity. *I'm looking for
a better 'size match' to the load.

Cut one down and bend the ends in??
