Advice please. They seem to retail at about £15 for the Invader and £20 for the extended Invader. Thanks Lud Quote Link to post

Hob&Jill 258 Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 They look pretty uncomfortable to dig with The spade I use at the moment is this and I love it. I have also got a bulldog rabbiting spade and musch prefer the one in the link to it. They are fairly similar, exept the bulldog has a T handle and the planting spade has a D. I prefer a D, just find it abit easier to hold. The bulldog also dosent have a lip where your feet go, whereas the one in link does. If you give the spades ago let us know what they are like Quote Link to post

Thanks for the Advice Lud PS I couldn't get the link to work. Quote Link to post

Ludwig 0 Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Looks like a posers spade to me..... Fair point, but I don't mind looking like tosser if they're good to use and not too heavy to carry. I don't have to dig often and because of that I cant see a point in having a huge heavy spade to lug bout every chuffin set. Quote Link to post
