I got one from Wyevale Garden center for £15, perfectly good and usable. Beats paying 30+ for them :thumbs-up: its a round nose, with a slight point. It is quite heavy but it gets threw it quick

iv bin looking for a rounded spade like that 1 kind of heart shaped not like a bulldog but can only see the square type everywere

If you got any Wyevale Garden Centers near by go and have a look :thumbs-up: It is a nice spade, good and sturdy, although a little heavy. I got a small spade aswell if I need to walk all day, My mates got one of them Entreching tools, all metal/plastic I could dig quicker with my teeth

 

I got another mate (mr popular ) with one too, its actually quite handy, wood handle, and good quality. He found it in a shed so god knows how old it is. Its not much kop digging holes but good a pick, or for keeping the walls of a hole neat :thumbs-up:

 

I cant find any of these spades for sale on the Internet.

I've a rabbiting spade, bulldog, narrow width, hardly used.

 

 

 

 

Its the narrow one, the one next to it was £ 5.95 from an Army surplus store.

 

 

You can have the narrow one, come pick it up.

I use one of these at work fencing all day most days and I have had it for 5 years.....it will cut through anything roots, flint, I even use it to go through thin concrete sometimes.......never go to work with out my faithfull

i tried the flat ones and found them not much kop. couldnt get into the corners and digging took longer. tired the fencing type like rs's but still got a flat nose on so same problem. in the end i modded a bulldog blunt nose with a grinder. it allso has slightly curved sides so the soil doesnt slip off as much. allso got a smaller one thats not too bad for freelance mooching....

 

got both from a car boot...bulldog a couple of quid and mini one 50p... :thumbs-up:
