Just invested in this beauty , fed up with using spades to hack thru the thick bush , just gotta be more carefull going to the trails now as I think this might freak some people out Smile

Just got back from building a new step down line , come together surprisingly quickly , from a bramble bush hell to a 3/4 made line with a good 25 foot plus gap in 4 hours , now i'm wishing I carried on in the dark as it would be done by now Razz

Which shovels? also i hate spades... bulldog long handles seem to be the only worth while long handled square point shovel in the uk at the moment (or the lidl ones)

It was a play on words as the shovel that is bent is a faithful

Oh, that was pretty subtle haha. Well played though!

Anyone know where to get a 12 or 24 inch landscaping rake? I went to lowes today and all they had was a massive 36" one which is way to large for making trails. Thanks guys!

Cut it?

Im not sure in your area where you can get one. I usually get my tools from a couple local suppliers, or basic stores like home depot, or Lowes.

We have a bulldog which we lost Frown and we have one exactly the same not sure what it is but pretty much exactly the same, this one is just bnq heavy square mouth, I only really got it because we lost the other shovel, the long handed snapped (my bad) and so we only have one left with a bunch of spades which pretty much suck but we are getting a round point soon and another decent shovel

not too far from where i live is the countries largest single branch builders merchants, their site is huge and their prices are the best around, today i was looking at their spade range, they stock the whole bulldog range, from the cheaper stuff to the 'pedigree' top end stuff Smile i think ill be spending a fair bit of money there haha Smile
