max abell 198 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 As said most fold up shovels are rubbish we have always used a bulldog rabbiting spade a bit pricey but a great bit of kit Quote Link to post
ticklemouse89 7 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Iv had a folding shovel for a few years and never had a problem with it but where I go it easy digging but for harder ground I'd use a proper shovel Quote Link to post

Its not as good for digging as a graft imo but its nice and light so Im sticking with mine. Quote Link to post
Stevo ferretboy 20 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Hi there pie eater that's why I said to go for the roughneck micro because it's lite an he walks to his permission so would be a good buy for him atb stevo Quote Link to post
Rich.h 4 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Just wondering if a traditional irish style spade would do as well as the bulldog types? Quote Link to post
