Digging bars

[Mickle123 769]

Got one of the 2 piece bars made of the bloke on face book, seems pretty good reasonably heavy/could be heavier. What does everyone make of it? Will see how it gets on.

How much was that?

£55 and £7 postage, seem solid and it is 6ft long looks shorter on pic

Maybe if it was spiked at the other end it would be of benefit. Looks the part great idea

I use something like that in work, Couldn’t see it being any different from a good heavy welded graft

Had this bar cut in 2 threaded and welded an axe head on by local engineering firm. Fits nicely on the back of the bike and is there if needed. Thinking about having another piece made that has a t-handle on that screws in aswell for more confined spaces where the full 6' length is too long

Definitely makes a massive difference having a long thread on so it keeps its strength it seems solid when it’s together

How do you stop it from coming loose?

'Big Red'
2 x 1m lengths to fit in the box
Ideal for doing the sides while a mate is throwing out.
Not used much, just on metre+ jobs but always with me.
It's pretty weighty and an handy tool.

They are a god send.

I prefer this over a bar or the sharptooth and i live in chalk and flint country and also dig pretty much everyday for a living.Good quality graft head with a length of 2"gas pipe welded over it.

Cost me £50 off a mate, but not getting them from him now, waiting on another mate getting his workshop up and running but don't know what his price will be as yet.

Got to agree, they're 2mm gauge at most, the 1 I had made is 5mm gauge which is stronger and gives it that bit of weight too
