yorkshire 151 Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 we tried making the screw together a few seasons ago , but we couldnt get the handle to stay lined up .i thought this fella had cracked it but obviously not. the other solution was to use a round metal ball for the handle . i found it horrible to use . screw togethers are ok for excaquik type grafters we have one that screws together so it fits in the motor easier.

J Darcy 5,871 Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I have one and it is as good as any solid shovel. It was made as a one off for me by a mate who is a genius with the wlder. It has digging plates and is perfectly aligned. as yet it hasnt shifted one bit...and its had some serious abuse too! Quote Link to post
