i was wondering how this digging tool worked if any one here use it plus it has a life time warranty I'm undecided on this one the gator digging tool or the Lesche digging tool just fig i ask and see what other have to say about it since it has a double sided cutting edge.

I bought this tool for my girlfriend and she likes it. I have used it and I like it. It feels strong enough, the teeth could be a little tighter or sharper to cut through tough roots better, but overall, not a bad tool.

Buy a Lesche!! I had one, digs and works great but it is weak, mine broke at gap between last tooth and handle. My huntin buddy's did too, same place.

Being a newbie, and not wanting to spend a ton of money just getting into this new addiction, I did some research on here for digging tools. I found some pics of a digger that someone made(wish I could give proper credit to the member, but cant remember his name) and went to the local hardware to try and find something. Came up with this,
http://www.fiskars.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=10101&categoryId=10271&productId=10539
It was $7.99 and cuts through the hardest of soils with one plunge, also can be pried from full depth with no bending.

Just my $.02

well after posting this question in a few diffrent md forums it seems like more was said better about the Lesche digger, so i found one o ebay witch actually when talleyed up would be about 10 bucks cheaper then the gator digger. so i ordered it after it got to thinking with the teeth on both side and small roots might get hung up between the gaps of the teeth on the gator,where the Lesche has the like knife blade on the one side so you can at least turn it to use the blade part to cut through the grass roots, the part of Fla I'm in the majority of the grass that grows is st Augustine grass and the root can be a pain cutting through as thick and as tight knit as they are , the digging is easy it all sand but the tight knit grass is the pain getting through.

I dont know how people live without a lesche. I was very worried about spending 30+ bucks on a trowel, but its well worth it. Ive never even dented the lesche but , if anything ever happens to it Ill be buying another. Hh dave.

Had three of these they all broke off at the handle. Buy the Ames from Lowes for a few $$ more, but nothing beats the Lesche in my opinion.

To be totally honest, I hate to post this as I have had nothing but good interaction with Kellyco, but I would not buy this tool. My brother-in-law and sister have one. The steel is not as sturdy as a Lesche. I bent theirs one day using it, I have never gotten the Lesche to even give me one second where I though it would break and I have been rough with mine. The thing just isn't sharp and the teeth are shaped wrong for cutting through roots. This is just my opinion.

No problems so far, but that doesnt mean I wont later. Actually, I did go looking for the Ames, but after hitting 4 different Lowes, with no luck, I settled on the Fiskars.....

You may be thinking of Mighty AP's digging tool.http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,74000.0.html

 

[Ice Fishin Nut]

Yep, that would be the one!!!!

 

[willisjj]

I bought a Fiskars and although it seemed sturdy, I bent the blade last week. Granted, it was very hard ground I was digging in.....thinking of buying a Lesche (sp?).

 

[BIG61AL]

I'll never use any thing but a lesche even I do break it I'll just get another one.

 

[Ascholten]

I used one a long time ago, broke it...

I have a digger now, I forget what it's called and havent seen it in a long time, but it's a curved shank of hardened steel with a cutting edge on it and it's rectangular in shape. Thing weighs a good pound probably but it'll cut through roots or whatever you need and the more you use it the sharper it seems to get.

I use one much like it... made by Predator... I love it.

 

[mark.]

..........nah, don't use them. Won one of those at a hunt once & notice it bends upon use.

However, I'm pretty hard on tools having broke a many of them over the years.

This one sits in my duffel bag for others to use........see ya mark

guys.. its a shovel not a polestep! breaking, bending, snapping.. geez. what do you guys do? wedge them under car tires and then put a pipe on the handle for leverage?!?!?

small shovels should be used just like a dremel tool, let the tool work for you. sounds like some of you guys are putting all your body weight into these things without taking the time to work the dirt and cut roots.

i'm using the fiskars tool and its great. $10 and well worth it.
