Skeeter...check your scorecard. Out of 20 comments on the thread(besides yours), there is 1 negative,9 positive, and 10 that are sorta neutral in that they speak about care, maintenance, etc.

The comment about "cheap crap from China" was a guess by someone. If your thinking about a digger...youd be foolish not to be considering this one.

I have two Lesche tools.
A shovel and a hand digger. Neither has been sharpened or will be. Both work as new after many outings.
Peace ✌

Just to get the rust off of it Bill?

 

[Scrappy]

I've had an 18" Lesche Samson T-handle for 12 hard months including hacking through frozen ground. Never had a problem or a bend and I have hauled on it with full strength.... I can bench 300lbs...

Best shovels out there!

4 years, same Lesche.

About the same here. I don't bother sharpening it anymore as it just dulls anyway. This and my Predator shovel have been the best digging tool money that I have ever spent.

I wonder what in the world could someone do to break a lesche. I've broke every digger I've tried, some the first day. But I can't even bend the lesche and I'm 6foot 7 and 300 pounds.

You guys must be weak. I have only had my 31" ball handle since late last fall/early winter and already bent it[emoji52]



I love it though. Cuts like crazy.

I was referring to the hand digger.

Dang you guys are rough on equipment! What does the detector look like? I have a "Lesche" and a 31" T-handle Sampson and have dug thousands of holes. They still look like they are virtually new. I have filed the Sampsons point a little to resharpen it but other than that it has been very tough. I will admit I don't use the Lesche much since GAPmetals told me about Treasure Wises tools.

I guess they don't cut plugs but try and lever the target out in one big, angled pry?

 

[CoinandRelicMan]

I have gone through "Zero" all of mine are still in service , the biggest danger they face is "GETTING Misplaced!"

Never happen,when I'm done hunting...under the seat it goes right next to the file.

Who cuts plugs in a corn field? I don't use a shovel in a lawn.

 

[Charlie P. (NY)]

People who don't bend Lesche's. ;-)

I've dug a LOT of hole in fields. Four feet deep and 8" around. ;-)

First hole should be a plug whether you're goin' for China or not. You're not going to "pop" a target with a shovel so you might as well start small and open it out and deeper as necessary. You shovels will last longer, too.

'Cmon. Fess up. You tried to lever out a rock, didncha?

 

[Old Dude]

Nope. It was frozen ground. You won't catch me home watching Oprah because it is too cold out.
