Digging Tools

[Trescher]

I have bent my last $4.00 hand shovel.

Someone please help me choose a new digging tool for rocky soil and compacted gravel. I think that my perfect tool would be about 20-27" long with a 2-3" wide blade with a foot thingy.

Predatortools.com has this http://predatortools.com/products/88.htm, but I am thinking that the blade is a little too wide.

Any recommendations?

either buy one of the predator digging tools for $40 or go to Lowes and buy an OXO trowel. I have had an OXO for about a year and still have not been able to bend it. They are $10 at Lowes.

Trescher, I was at a competiion hunt in the Dallas area a year or two ago and won this one which really seems to do a good job and wil cut rockly soil pretty good. Here's a pic and the link to the club that put on the hunt. I believe Mike Skinner was the hunt master. He may know who made it as there were several as prizes.

Here is a picture of what I am looking for.  Similar to yours stoney56.  Any idea where to find one of these?

Not offhand but surely someone on here either knows or can make one. These guys are pretty talented.
