Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Any tool of that discription is likely to be hand made mate .Made from 1,1/4" steel water pipe with a connector in the middle or preferably at the top with a T-piece as the handle and unscrew point .The one I used to have, held a bar inside for tough going but needed taking out on a routine dig as it was noisy and heavy .No pics mate as I no longer have it .

mattyg 1,862 Posted July 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 cheers mate, will look into it. as you've proabaly guessed the spade is needs to be packed away discreetly when not in use for those more sensative game bird protection jobs! Quote Link to post

Pipey Magregor 0 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I used to fence for years, since the age of 13 infact, and if you're going to be digging pretty deep then I'd get more than one shovel or spade. I'd get some decent grafters and what we used to call the Yankee, which was like what Bshadle's link shows but had a longer handle. Quote Link to post
