I'd rather have a prong with me than a grubaxe or pick Alimac, they are much easier to use in tight spaces, only ever done one dig to terriers but for any sort of digging if I was limited on the tools I could take it would be a shovel, prong and a folding saw for big roots, can see as you would need much else unless it was a bar for really heavy going. £ is steep for any tool let alone one you could make for your self for bugger all. 1 Quote Link to post

Pedwar 320 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Seems to me theres a lot of people trying to make money from terrier and lurcher men, looks like theres a new "must have" advertised every few months Quote Link to post
darencross 72 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 the guy that has made these sharptooths is not in the game to make money . and he probley digs more stuff with his dogs in a season that most off u people on here dig in 10 seasons and i no the man in person . So buy 1 and test it out for ur selfs and stop and stop bad mouthing people that yous dont even no 2 Quote Link to post

J Darcy 5,871 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I've used one of the early models of these. I have to say that, for the right ground, they are very good indeed. Quote Link to post
