JDFrain 1 Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 think i should have just bought it for that price, even if it lasts a season or two its only £9.00 allways handy to have a spare JDF Quote Link to post

dytkos 17,841 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 i got one with the longer shaft from treasureland on ebay which i use for ferreting - spot on mate Got one delivered from Screwfix. com last week. Cost £9 but should have been a fiverish for carraige but I spent over 50 quid on stuff so it was free. Haven't used it yet but it seems the bizz and my missuss says "it's cute" Cheers, D.

Are we still on about shovels here guys The ones from toolstation are shit after a while. Very weak wood, which WILL snap.Them screwfix are good, Draper do a little cracker as well, about 15 " smaller than a Bulldog, but strong. I was thinking when mine come from toolstation how long will it last! but for less than a fiver got to be worth a try. What are the Bulldog ones like? Quote Link to post
