I need a good jagged T-shovel to take the place of the one I killed today. Any opinions?

31" Sampson

I have the ball handle 37" Dixie, but otherwise what Dave-E said: Predator Tools/Lesche/Sampson shovels. I like the smaller head of the Dixie series for working around roots and taking smaller bites (less likely to damage the shovel or target when levering out).

Products | Predatortools
 
Have a look at gravediggertools. They are the last shovel you will ever need. Makes all others look like toys
 
The Sampson 31" T handle is my favorite shovel. If you want something bigger Predator tools make larger ones. I have the Raven and one like the Piranha but find myself using the little 31" Sampson the most.

I have a spear head shovel for open fields and I also ordered the Root Assassin, but I sent it back, it was too long and not sturdy enough for my liking.

I have and use the Lesche 31' T handle Relic Hunter shovel. I love this shovel. Very sturdy and well made. If it can cut it's way through our concrete hard Georgia red clay, it will do the job. This is also a great little shovel to have around the house for smaller landscaping jobs such as planting shrubs, etc. Check em' out and see what you think. I have had mine now for about 6 years and wouldn't trade it for anything.
 
These seem to work good..... DSCN0928.webp

I was going to shoot these down until I looked at their site. They are heat treated like the Sampson and Predator tools are. They should be decent shovels but I prefer a round handle to grab onto

The GRAVE DIGGER shovels are the best i have used . I hunt woods and fields and cellar holes and these grave diggers are light and i do not think you could ever break one a very strong tool . And the extra process of POWDER COATING paint..put on them i really like..

I don't worry about breaking my Sampson, but I have bent it a couple times. I do worry that very many more time and it will fail from stress fatigue. I'm going to check out those grave diggers
