yes its wierd at first it's good to see someone who's had plenty experience putting them on , rule of thumb if you can turn it a bit it's not to tight , put it on let the fert have a run on the grass if it's moving ok and not stressed it's all good ,

k fair enough i have thought of bobbin another hole in the collar is a mk1 and leather seen better days but just seems tiny already might need to damp collar first as its quite brittle

I try to always give them a coat of leather treatment it keeps them soft and crack free

I don't dig on every outing lol had it two days snapped on me on the second day why I was digging along a hedgerow.

Same as, you really cant beat these! Had mine three seasons and used it ALOT, deep enough too, and its still as good as new. I would buy another tomorrow if i ever lost it, highly recomended

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 have didn't last two outings

 

I've had it a couple of seasons now, out at least twice a week or more (sometimes 4/5 days), and getting plenty of use,and it's still going strong. The handle is plastic, but a kind of tough, rubberized plastic.

 

I'm not gentle on my tools and have found myself swinging itlike an axe,at roots, plenty of times.

bulldog are good strong spades they do a fibre glass one strong and durable. last a lifetime if used correctly. some folk think a shovel is also an axe and bar.
