That's a nice spread of diggers out there! Never thought of using a spoon... I just use my hands for ice cream and pie

Man! That shovel would be super sweet if it had the reinforcement bracket and foot pads that the Ground Sharks have. jm2c

That welded brace is my point. I remember Robo99 adding one to a shovel after bending one. The foot pad would just sell the shovel better.

Yes, he bent his Lesche Sampson after he had it for a long time. He did have a brace welded on it when it was fixed. I am hoping that the Ultra Eagle will last me a long time. Only tine will tell

Here’s my shovel and digger, I rarely use the shovel anymore since I made the digger, being a welder has its benefits sometimes.

I'm with ya. I have the 31" Sampson, the Mini Sampson 18"and the red hand held lesche, I've seen some beasty diggers posted here or on Amazon and I'm sure they work but the lesche line has served me well enough. I generally stick to the edges along the woods and in and out of woods surrounding the few sport fields I do. Iv'e not had any issues with anyone thinking my digger was too big at the park and sport field. But I do back edges, out of the way areas, paths and the like. using the long Sampson, 31" hasn't been a problem. The hand held for open main park areas , nicer turf areas.

I use a Anaconda nx6 to dig in the woods and field.
I have had it for about 2 years roughly no problems on any well the Garrett to be honest is my weakest link in the digging dept.
On the curb strips I have been using a Ames for now as my lesche and Garrett are packed up for our move. And not sure which tote there in and we have about 40 totes smh. That anaconda has dug thousands of holes.

Its really not that intimidating in person. I will not be able to use it everywhere but it will be nice to have it when I can. I have RA and it keeps me from having to kneel down so much. Our club usually will tell us whether our shovels are allowed at sponsored hunts.

In some places nowadays you'd get the heave ho even if what you were using to dig was a plastic spoon.

Look up "Porridge Laws" in your home state and town.....then you'll know for sure. Hopefully you're not eating the porridge that belongs to the "Three Bears"
