Best Make Shovel


Recommended Posts


I got a taper mouth builders shovel from the car boot 50p. Then with an agle grinder ,made a round mouth.Then go a mate who is a welder to weld a steel tube handle,a sort of T shape handle.Its quite heavy which has its pros and cons but it can take all the stick you can give it.I also have a bulldog round mouth , they are great shovels , but very large,and too big for tight spaces.Also i get little plates welded on my shovels to save my boots.A T B

The hybrid is hiding , but the spade is a K.O.S. rubber d handle, and I carry the both of them when I go digging. 2011-12-06_18-08-08_87-1.jpg. A close iPod the top of the rubber handle on the spade. Saves shoulders and elbows loads and loads of unnecessary aches and pains.

Dug up a couple other pics, some of these are prototypes I was asked to evaluate. 2012-06-15_08-54-05_818-1.jpg. 2012-06-15_08-51-56_246.jpg. I've narrowed it all down to the far left and the middle right. The K.O.S J 450 hybrid is the far left , I love the steep angle, steeper the angle means deeper holes with less circumference which means less digging which means faster intervention and that to me is a good thing.
