tillearthdouspart 100 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Always had one always will great for a number of things. When out digging like said before its great for listening to whats going on under your feet. Quote Link to post
THE DEALER! 77 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Excellent tool, probing for a tube, tying out, clearing back cover, an all purpose tool. Gives a clearer understanding of what is happening below ground before breaking through,i.e. digging on, holding mid tube etc.. Stainless for ease of cleaning and to stop corrosion.

MUDD 374 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 One like this ripstop. http://www.google.co.uk/m/search?site=images&source=mog&hl=en&gl=uk&client=safari&q=exca%20quik%20bars&sa=N#i=1 Only ever used one once, as said before and I agree a good grafter would be every bit as good if not better.

Rebel Pack 8 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Wouldnt be without it,just made another one for carrying in the box on the quad, bought some 16mm stainless steel, bought a length of 1.5m, cut it at 1.1 (just right for the box) used the left over 0.4 for the cross piece, got my mate whos shit hot at all metalwork/welding to weld for me and taper the end, spot on job fair play. ill put some pics up 2moz, if you want one made and sent to you pm me and ill price it up for you with delivery. any length and diameter steel, personally i think 16mm is just right and not heavy at all (especiall in the quad box!)

Rebel Pack 8 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 no offence intended here gents, but i cant believe the amount of people who havent seen/used one whilst out! Very uselful tool, for various reasons as others have said, finding tube, listening to dog, etc etc. Dog in, wait for it to settle, find a mark, drop bar in (obvioulsy gently as your breaking into tube) and listen to see whats happening. sometimes if your quarry is not quite bottled up, the noise of you barring etc will move them on tighter (or move althogether), saves you starting to dig and getting to say 18", only for ypur quarry to move say a foot or two and you having to strart a fresh hole. Not saying it always happens, but have had i happen before. ATB RP 3 Quote Link to post

jigsaw 11,809 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 in over 30 years Ive never seen nor heard of a dog being injured with a t bar.At what force would you be pushing through the ground to injure an animal,lol.Impossible Id say to happen unless your ramming the shite out of the ground with it.Its a very important piece of kit,as important as the shovel I believe.Ive had the same stainless one for over 20 years. 5 Quote Link to post
