Our Dig It Shovels Tier List ranks every obtainable shovel from best to worst depending on their stats and passives. I’ve also made sure to add the level requirements for each one!

Which of the Dig It shovels do you have? I’ve written up a guide that goes into more detail about each of the Dig It Shovels, including how to obtain them, their stats, and if they have any passive abilities.
