[Guest cookiemonsterandmerlin]

Because I like to do everthing else on diffrent scale to everbody else I thought feck it why bother with all this spade lark and bought one

 

I bought a bulldog rabbiter last year for ferretting and post hole digging a great little light shovel small enough so your not digging masses of dead needless soil ,but big enough to make a hole to get the rabbit out of .

The smooth mounth gives a little protection to the ferret being dug as the long shovel can be sharp and pierce the last few inchs into the tube quickly without the digger knowing .

 

So nice items on this site

I use a foldable spade from the army. Cheap and strong, downside is that it is not very big.

I find the army folders useless on a dig, they wobble and fold up. I have always found a solid little spade superior. I got mine from some mates that work for the water board, they call them teaspoons, thet are a small round mouth spade.

never used one of these myself but by the pic wouldnt last imo if thats a plastic handle on the top, couldnt imagine choppping roots,flint, etc it would last to long , but can only speak from seeing it on a pic so might be better made than it looks

I'll take these reply's as a 'no'. Can't get bulldogs overhere. So no one has an S&J?

[SINDASOX 256]
