Wondering on peoples opinions on what's a good digger at the moment I have the ged that came with my Atpro good all around no complaints but I think it mayb time to get a larger like the raven model 25 piranha model 35 or if something in those lines my hand ged does cut nice plugs my main reason for a larger shovel would b the infamous roots I also think.once I've pinpointd my location to start my plug I'm already standing so y not start cutting it standin & use my hand ged for when or if I need to move more dirt any suggestions would be apreciated or if anyone has a used one they maybe selling I'd be interested thanks again everyone

I've got a Sampson. It cuts cleaner plugs than my hand diggers,and is effortless to use.It also has one side serrated,and cuts roots like hot butter. It is one mean digging tool!:thumbsup:

Oh i here ya there it took quite a while to pull the trigger on the 18" now im 6'1" & I really wanted the 40" Long story short my wife up & bought me the 18" ya know What I think it was the best one. Ok its small but same size digger as the big ones I go out relic hunting alot & its perfect just cuts right through anything & u can use it 1 handed takes the dirt out really quick. My hunting partner has a 40" relic shark used & used the 18" & now ordered one. Grab a bomb sheath that holds it make it ur go to shovel ur tall enough no one would think oh here comes some destruction lol definetly should try its a winner

The 18" Sampson sounds right up my alley...

The problem is..I can't find one in-stock anywhere....

If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great!
