Hi,

Just trying to find alternative to the tools I'm using these days.

I've been digging since 2001 and professionnaly for 5 years. The flat spade I use is from a no name brand, I basically run through at least 2 a year but i'm looking for something dedicated to slapping dirt.

The one I used is actually quite cheap, I chose it because of its shape and lightweight (well i've used heavier shovel head for slapping in the past but if you know how hard trailbuilding fulltime is for one's body, you'll understand my compromise. Doesn't slap as much but makes repetitive moves more viable on long period.)

Any links or suggestionS?
Thanks
