Spade

[rob190364 2,594]

Anyone know of a decent spade that's either folding or is in sections so can fit in a large rucksack? I've tried two folding spades and they've both been shite beyond belief (i.e. bending very easily and not being sturdy when put up), both have be chucked in a hedge within 2 minutes of me using them.

Glock make a great folding spade that I use sometimes which can be set at 3 different angles so it can be used as a spade, a shovel or a pick. It has an expendable polymer shaft with a heavy duty wood saw in handle.

Can sometimes be found in ex army surplus.

Great if you want to travel light. Will stick a pic up later if you want.

Ive had a couple of those army surplus spades most have been shit. I remember a timber company making folding terrier spades they looked well worth using but i carnt find them anywhere ?

I use one of these http://www.screwfix.com/p/roughneck-micro-shaft-round-point-shovel/53829 Not a folding shovel but it is small and light.

I wouldnt reccomend these as the only tool in the kit...but I have seen them getting plenty of use and they are a great little handy tool to have in yer rucksack..But I would invest in some sort of breaking bar if this is all your going to use.

 

you cant beat the good old bulldog ferreting/cable laying/drain spade for good value...(its called different names depending on where you buy it)

 

you can always shorten the shaft if its too long.
