Waz 4,274 Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 HASTINGS , BEST SHOVEL I EVER USED, YA'LL WILL NEED A CUT'N TORCH TO BREAK.......RICHLEE Ive had a go with one of these, if the shaft was 4 or 5" shorter and the head was a bit bigger in the width then it'd be a great improvement for me, as it is its more suited to be used as a graft. Very nicely constructed though. Last time I was trusted with the pretty little thing.... Quote Link to post

Milgi 10 Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Hi I've snapped the neck of my favourite Spear and Jackson shovel today. The cast snapped where the neck meets the handle so it's going to virtually impossible to repair. Where do you buy the stainless shovels from? How expensive are they and how long do they take to be delivered? Thanks Milgi Quote Link to post

I was thinking of getting one of those American ones - does anybody sell them in the UK? Quote Link to post
