I know there's multiple examples of items and classes doing this, and burrow speeds are crazy fast, but for just a mundane shovel to clear a 5' cube of dirt in 12 seconds, I'm gonna pick on the Combat Shovel. In 12 seconds with the aid of a hafted spoon you can clear over 2000 kg of packed earth. Assuming you have a random level 1 NPC using this item, they probably get 2 scoops worth of dirt, so over 1000 kg per scoop. No doubt you build the muscles to do this by lugging around a shovel that weighs as much as a sledgehammer. For most mere mortals digging a grave (which has a little less volume than a 5' cube) is a physically demanding several hour affair.
I love the notion of statting up a combat shovel, but the instant displacement of thousands of pounds of dirt seems a bit silly.
