Digging Tool...

[postie 425]

I've just started to learn how to trap a few moles from my old ferreting buddy. I've had a bit of success so far and am really enjoying it...I've only been at it for a few weeks and I've already broken his £10 Spear and Jackson trowel!!! Just wondering what you lads use, I've seen all sorts on YouTube used from trowels to spades and everything inbtween. What do you lads recommend?

I use a stainless steel spade cut the blade down to the size of a talpex trap.

Cheers lads...

 

Dave...like the look of that mate, decent price as well. How do you rate it ?

 

Trappa...that looks a real well made trowel mate but a bit pricey for a novice like me.

A FCKG trowel for that money.? You have got to having a laugh. As he's sol only one that makes you the buyer. Ffs. Eegits. Jok.

I just use a narrow spade, then tidy up with a trowel, I have thought about one of them hori knives, my next buy may be knee pads,

I use a knife, a placcy trowel an a wee half sized spade thingy, but like you, i only just started an only doing it in am estate my mate owns for my own practice an curiosity haha but what kills me is carrying it all in a bag, as i think buckets look trampy haha but a bags a pain in arse haha
