I bought this digger about two months ago, but it has been so darn cold I have only used it to dig about 9 holes...until today! It was sunny and nice out (as you can see)
so I went to an 1880's homestead. The ground was still partially frozen, but that didn't matter with this puppy!!!
I did things with it that I KNOW would break others (I have been through about 8 of them so far...all different models, none like this one)! It's the "True Temper Planter Buddy" 7 in 1. They sell at wally world for 14 somethin'...I got mine at Lowes for 17 somethin' (always). The 7 in 1 represents "Trowel/transplanter blade for planting, Serrated edge for cutting open bags of mulch or soil, Sharpened straight edge for cutting sod
Twine cutter, Weeder tip,Poly tamper for tamping down stakes, markers, and fertilizer spikes, and 12 inch measurement marks."
For me it means, ripping through roots, shoving it through rocky areas, prying the cold frozen Missouri soil, tearing a plug in like three seconds, flat end for better application of force, cutting grass off the top of the plug to find shallow targets, and fighting crime! lol!
I also never leave home without my all plastic POS shovel, good for breaking when you need them most! about 89 cents at Target (pronounced tarjay).
Just thought I would share that with you guys, I love it and I think it's another good tool for the arsenal.
