Im going to hit Lowes in the morning after I drop my daughter off at school, then on to a nearby park. I have been hitting lots of pulltabs, so a ring or actual silver should be in my future. I just want to be able to make neater plugs that can be tamped back in better.

I got the TrueTemper one from Lowes...and I will probably also use it for its intended purpose of gardening as well> It is plenty sturdy for my use. Hell, worse come to worst I can always get an Army E-tool.

im all about entry level gear that works fine and saves me money i not have in first place (thanks ex wives and judge happy) - the blue handled true temper garden digger is plenty good enough

i sharpen mine (on a grizzly wet wheel machine) and in a pinch i can surely defend myself with it also cause it will shave. and i have big hands and it even feels nice and study too. i do need to practice more of course but it cuts pretty clean hole

Love responding to revived threads.
All one has to do is purchase a Lesche. Sure, they're a bit more expensive initially, but you'll only need one, ever...
Peace ✌
