Gonna see how it does on the oak roots we have out here. I’m sick of breaking shovels. I’ll let you guys know how it works. IMG_0012.JPG IMG_0012.JPG

Been rapping up a deal for work and going tomorrow. Been a busy week and I need a break. I’m going to a place where there’s plenty of nail and iron bits. I cleaned out a lot of plugs and find stuff in the middle of all this iron. My plan is too open up a hole take your tool and loosen all the dirt and iron out the walls of the plug and use my huge magnet to get it all quick instead on pinpointing one by one. I have a feeling this will really speed up my process.

Reminds me of these knives we got one year for training. Turns out another Team was playing a joke on us. It was those Cold Steel Zytel knives. All force on force training is full speed, your gonna bleed when the day is over, then repeat the next day. But those darn things where no joke, I ended up with 50mm deep puncture wound in the forearm. Training doc on site said I had to go to ER. By the time I put my gear away another guy was coming out with one heck of a cut on the back of his hand and wrist.

We got punked pretty good, it was funny. but it was more funny in the shoot house when we gave that other team a serious case of sim pox.

Point is, fun all to poke fun at plastic especially when it looks like it came out of a fun dip package like this tool, but the right kinnd of plastic can puncture vest and metal. I have not worked with this digging tool, but if it is half as good as them Cold Steel plastics then watch out.

Two things though, I get that it is in R&D so this may not be the final product.

Serrated Edge

Kydex Holster (very cheap to produce))

Just saying.

PS, maybe an extra pack of that grape powder too, I always liked that best out of all the fun dips. LOL

Oddjob,

Just doing some final R&D before putting it out there in the market place...truth1253 said he would put it through its paces for sure...if anybody can break it I would think he would be the one...A2coins also got one to test...but have not heard much out of him...??? Probably too cold up where he lives. Also this is pretty much the final product before going into production. Still working on the holster aspect...thinking a drop leg holster would work pretty good.

It won’t break. Whatever that plastic stuff is it’s strong as hell. I’m 250lbs of raw steal ( well maybe not raw....or steal but close!) It fits perfectly in a bag I got from Matt as well. I give it a thumbs up [emoji1360]

I pulled hard on a think root to move it over a tad to get my hand lesche in there and I had heavy pressure on it. To be honest I was waiting for it to break and falling on my face. I remember thinking for a second damn I’m gonna have to tell your boy I broke it. I was wrong and it did the job I need done. IMG_0012.jpg

I got a gold class ring today didn’t wanna wash off the luck. Lol Man I had some pressure on that sucka and you know I’m not afraid to break stuff. Like I said I’m gonna bring it too my iron nail patch spot dig a plug take it and loosen up all the dirt and nails, take my big magnet suck up all those nails then look for the goods. It loosens up the sidewalls good. I’ll keep in touch.
