17 pound digging bar.  Dig with the 3-1/4" wide chisel-shaped end.  Tamp with the other end.  Pound on the tamper end with the heaviest sledge you can pick up.  (But the bar itself has enough weight that you can just drop or throw it into your hole. . . .)

Consider wearing your steel-toed shoes when using this tool.  If you don't have steel-toed shoes, consider getting some and wearing them.
