nasher1 258 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Get rid of the silverline one it will let you down the wood is really low quality and becomes very weak after a short time, it will snap off when you are in the middle of a dig, Screwfix and some other places like travis perkins do a fiberglass handled version and its rock solid Quote Link to post

I use the same one, blue with steel shaft, i welded a piece of pipe across the top to save my boots [and feet] it also helps if you put a edge on the blade with a grinder to help it through roots, iam only digging rats n rabbits so iam not hitting alot of stone but upto now its been a good buy, buster.
