malyman24 yes my late brother-in-law’s . Weathered he was not to happy when we had to bring it in. He worked hard on that thing. He said was weather proof, but alas was not.

DF Digger ya just noticed it’s off a little. Oh well.

@@TreasureGuy. Eeh it only has to dig :)

Iffy Signals thanks

Diggin Diggen It hummm good idea to shorten the handle. I just might do that make it same length as my lesche 31 inches. Thanks handle was a little off center anyway good tip..

shortened it today came out great!

@@TreasureGuy. They make deals that hold the shovels around your belt but the part that holds the shovel hangs down like three inches from your belt line so that's why I just got a steel rod, bend it in half, then on each end make a J bend then put it in a vice and twist the J's so that they hold the shovel under the D handle, just slip the jury rig over your belt and the J hooks are right at the bottom of your belt unlike the ones you can buy that hand down a couple inches, so with the jury rig you can use a longer shovel with out dragging the ground while you walk, you know plus saves on the arm from lugging it around and leaves a free arm/hand, yeah you might loose some leverage from a shorter shovel but I don't have any problems digging a deep hole, picture this your swinging, hit a target, eyeball the center, snatch the shovel off your side while still looking at the center and start cutting, when done throw it on the hooks inside blade facing out so the angle doesn't get you, it's like you hardly feel any weight being its on your waist while hunting.
