Tool of choice

So looking to see what everyone is using to dig plugs. I purchased various hand tools but all sucked. The purchases a folding little shovel but that was horrible. I just purchased this 16 inch drain spade and thinking this might be better. I hunt private access just looking to make easy plugs? What are u guys using

Its a neat little shovel. Much less expensive than the Lesche or Predator. Ive never owned either of those so I cant really compare them as far as functionality goes. I was a bit concerned about the Lil Diggers fiberglass shaft but it seems sturdy enough and it keeps the weight down. Sometimes I think my gator hand digging tool seems to weigh more. The shovel blade rocks. The notched edges make cutting through tough sod and roots a breeze.

I use a basic gardening shovel with a garrett lesche that came with my at pro

The Japanese gardening tool, the hori hori knife is an awesome digger. It's great at cutting surgical plugs in the soft Missouri soil. I have gotten very good at using this tool! They are much less expensive than the gator or leshe. The only drawback is that the fulcrum that you have with with the others, you do not have with the hori hori. Check it out though. You may just find your new favorite digger.
