Need opinion on Lesch shovel

[Marinehunter]

I feel stupid asking this but the Lesche ground shark shovels come in three sizes 28", 36" or 40"
any real difference I am about 5' 8"

Convenience of carry. I usually only take a shovel along in the woods and one that doubles as a walking stick works for me.

I have one of their round handle tipped "Sampson" shovels and at 32" is about right for me.

I walk with a cane on good days and in a wheel chair the other ones. Using this shovel as a walking stick is a great idea. Are they light or heavy? Good luck on what ever option of shovel you get. I did pick up a etool. I used them in the marines many times and they fold up. I also use a small spade. one with a saw on the side. That works great for small roots. Well anyways thought I'd just post to you. I wish you much luck and happy digging.
