Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 What small spades are there for digging? I dont want a full size one, something small-ish i can put in my rucksack or carry easily if im just nipping out. Does anyone rate this one... http://www.screwfix.com/p/roughneck-micro-shaft-round-point-shovel/53829 Ive used the folding ones before but they dont last long. Cheers Gaz Quote Link to post

masmiffy 82 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) We used one like the posted screw fix spade and it was good if not digging too deep. You wanted one to fit a rucksack it will do that and aint that heavy!! Edited March 25, 2013 by masmiffy Quote Link to post
