Shovel

A shovel is a handy tool that makes digging a heck of a lot easier.

Down in good old Houma, Louisiana, a couple of thugs decided to rough up a scientist named Alec Holland in order to steal his research. Alec's friend, Matt Cable, came to his aid, but a man named Bruno clobbered him across the back of the head with a shovel, knocking him out.

In 1978, health inspector Matthew Bennell ran afoul of a bunch of body snatcher aliens, who had been replacing various people with duplicates, including Bennell himself. Matthew bashed several of these replications with a shovel before they could mature.

On The Walking Dead, Rick Grimes bashed a walker across the head with a shovel just as Rick was exiting a tank in the middle of Atlanta, Georgia. Another survivor, Jim, used a shovel to dig various shallow graves, predicting that a herd of walkers would attack, which they did.
