I suspect there's a little cabin fever at work here smile

Well, me too. I bought a Deuce of Spades a while back, and discovered it's excellent for digging...into my hand. I finally put a bead of epoxy putty (JB Weld SteelStik) around the handle to blunt it. It added 0.3oz., but made it useable. So comfort is high on my list.

It occurs to me that when through, you'll have the necessary data to design and market the perfect potty trowel. In fact, Perfect Potty might be a good name for your new company. However, I would suggest a name that pays homage to the history of backpacking...Poopwise.
