Nick3439 83 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 So I carry around an army entrenching tool; it does the job where I have permissions and haven't wanted for more; but the more I read here the more digging seems to be a large part of the chat here.... Maybe I just don't do enough ferreting on a large enough scale, or I have some magical gifted ferrets that poo gold. Anyway; some links to what people think are the holy grail of spades would be good... Quote Link to post

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 I've had 2 seasons out of my roughneck and it's still going strong. Really small and light to carry and it's had some stick. £13 from screwfix. Really impressed with it... Quote Link to post
