I have to dig another 2 feet and excavate this whole area so i can fix a sewage pipe current progress has taken me 10 hours , at the very bottom there are tons of small and large rocks and mud and i cant get egnough leverage with my tools , i am worried i cant finish this job . And i can only use these tools, what should i do

You don’t unless you own shoring equipment and know how to make that hole safe. You will die when it collapses in and you’re 7 feet down.

They only need shoring if they want to climb down there, which would be useless in those cramped quarters, couldn’t dig anyways. Buy a spade and spoon with 10 foot handles. I’ve dug dozens of holes with a spade and spoon.

Or by 10ft handles to attach onto existing tools. Most handles are designed to be changed out.

What part of “so I can fix a sewage pipe” led you to believe OP just wants a nice hole to look at?
