Dig Wands
12 companies listed
Dig wands combine a water lance and vacuum tube into a single handheld tool, allowing the operator to simultaneously cut soil with water and vacuum the material away. They are the primary digging tool on most hydrovac jobs.
What to Look For
- Weight and balance for reduced operator fatigue during extended use
- Water trigger or valve type for precise flow control at the dig face
- Nozzle interchangeability for different soil conditions and applications
- Build quality and field repairability for demanding daily use

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a dig wand and a dig tube?
A dig tube is vacuum-only. A dig wand integrates a water lance, allowing one-handed operation of both the water jet and vacuum. Wands improve efficiency but cost more and weigh more.
How do I maintain a dig wand?
Flush the water line after each use, inspect the nozzle for wear, check the trigger valve for leaks, and replace worn components before they fail in the field.
