Hi James,

 

I got a couple of grafts from a crowd called Birkdale, they are based in Dublin but will deliver nationwide.

 

I think I paid around €30 - €32 each inculding delivery.

 

They are a handy tool. The handle is a tube and not solid so it's not too heavy to carry or use.

 

We also use a crow bar with a spade head welded on which is heavy but required when you hit the hard stuff.

 

There was a post on here before and that is where I got the contact details from.

 

Birkdales number is 01-8311520.

 

The guy that I spoke to knew what I was on about straight away.

 

Well worth the money.
