Take the spade head off a builders spade, bring it to a welder, ask him to trim 8-10" off the length and weld on a hollow steel shaft + handle.....to your required length....simples!

Will last a life time!

If you want to be really particular get him to weld on 1" x 4" plate either side of the shaft at the top of the spade head, this is for pressing down/stepping on, saves your boots and feet on ice cold days on hard ground!

Sub total = 10 quid

Or alternatively

Pay big bucks and order something which won't be as good

I use mine for the terriers!

Why steel? Because it wil never break when u need them the most, the extra weight of the steel helps it cut through the ground!

For ferreting, if you get a nice small tidy spade head and weld on short stainless steel shaft and handle, it will be as light as any, but much stronger!

Horses for courses....but I know what I will be sticking with!
