What a beauty, can't wait to dig with this thing.
I highly recommend everyone to buy local, buy something made in the country you live instead on asian garbage, yes you will pay a bit more but you'll have a superior tool that will last, and with Predator at least you'll get a 5 year warranty, you'll likely break 2 or 3 cheap shovels in that time frame.

I love mine, it's a beast. Did you purchase the rubber foot pads, well worth the expense? :icon_thumleft:

No footpads, could likely improvise my own if necessary

I just tried digging a plug in my desert like sun baked devoid of grass backyard, I was taken aback how easily it sliced into the ground, made me do a stutter step. And I'm coming off a Lesche too, no slouch itself but without the serrated edges.

I propose that 2 shovels are better than 1 !

I have one with foot pads that I picked up for $95 used. I rarely need something this size but it sure makes digging in the fields 100% faster and easier when I do go in the field. My other shovel is a Predator Eagle and I would have literally went through two cheaper Lesche shovels during the time Ive had this one. I bend them too easily.
