Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Cheers all, some good recommendations. The roughneck seems to look the buissness I wouldn't want to dig 8 foot with it, but it's the only spade I take out with me and its not let me down to date. Pic next to a fairly standard spade for comparison... 1 Quote Link to post
