"nasty!" I use "Sampson" 31" t-handle! love it!
great plugger.

(h.h.!)
j.t.

X2. Best purpose built shovel made. Are there others? Of course. I also have a Predator Barracuda 55. The Sampson just checks ALL of the boxes...size, ability, cost, durability....a very complete shovel!
 
I have one of those folding camp shovels and a good garden trowel.
 
Predator Barracuda fan here. I've tried just about all of them. Though I have not tried a grave digger. When the predator fails, maybe I'll try one out. Let us know how the grave digger works out for you guys!
 
28" Lil' Digger and Nokta Makro hand digger.

The bigger shovel gives me neater plugs.

Love the look of your shovels!
 
That leather with copper rivets is beautiful also.
Yes a big sharp shovel with teeth scares people but you can sure make a much nicer plug with it. Also the teeth on my lesche are on the left which is correct for me. did not know they come left or right for years.

Add my name to the Sampson 31" list. I've used several others, but the 31" and 28" Sampsons are my staples. My 31" was wonderful from first dig.
 
Those Gravedigger shovels are just works of art that work. I mean you could seriously hang one on your living room wall as display piece. I have a black nemesis and absolutely love it. It's bomb proof.
 
No shovel here... still getting down and cutting each plug by hand! I always double cut my lesche so I can cut right through any small roots... yes I am older, yes I have a bad back, yes I have arthritis... and yes I still enjoy cutting 100-200 plugs on a good day!
