I am looking into purchasing a digging shovel. I was looking at the 32" root assassin. Do any of you use this shovel? Can you guys recommend an affordable digging shovel? What do you use? Thanks for the help!!
If I lost my shovels, first I would replace would be my '' lil digger"

Wow, I wish I could splurge on one of these. They look pretty BA. My budget is approx. 40/50$

I would go with a cheapo from the hardware store, mine was yellow never had a issue with it, if you do alot of digging the Ranger will make you happy, its worth saving up for IMO...

I have used the same shovel for over 30 years , it has never failed me .
It's a 1942 U.S army entrenching tool like the one shown. Now think about this , this Shovel is 77 years old and has not broke or worn out yet.
I'd love to get me a nice new shovel but I'm so use to using this true relic.

I bought a "grave digger" shovel from a guy on Instagram. It's a great shovel. It's indestructible. I think it cost about 60 bucks. It's hand made by a guy in the USA not some giant factory.
