Long or shot handle digging tool??

[Blkcloud]

I have always used a short handle spade. Thinking of getting a long handled one but.. i think it would be hard to use one you have your plug out and are on your knees searching for the target.. if it happens not to be in the plug.. your thoughts..

I have used short, long, and medium length shovels. I like the 40" range shovels, and have a lesche digger for when searching. If I'm in an ag field, like at div, I prefer a long handle shovel.

31” Sampson T-Handle shovel with serrated edge. Works awesome standing or kneeling.

Lost mine at the end of the season. Killer shovel. I decided to try the 18" double serrated edge this time. I'm short, and I kneel down all the time anyway. Haven't got it yet. Have to wait for Christmas It also should be less conspicuous when in a park.

Sampson 31" T has been my go-to for two years now. I'll use my Hori Knife in a good-looking private lawn, but the Sampson is my preference. 😁

I have a land shark shovel. Very similar but less intimidating to the public at large.



When you show up with a large shovel this is what the others see.
