digger63 3 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 the best general tool i had was a bulldog no2 with a shortened shaft and rounded off blade[still got it] but you need a good selection for different ground, a small grafter [rounded blade] can be worth its weight if its genrally firmer going,but they arent as good in light sandy soil. Probably the best compramise was my all steel bulldog rounded shovel with a solid bar welded inside the shaft[after we broke it] the solid bar gave it a bit of weight and strength,i wore it that thin the blade split eventually.

When I was on the fencing we'd always take our grafter heads to get a new shaft welded to it to suit what we wanted. Quote Link to post
