Lesche BROKE!! UPDATE: Pics

Bonesquat · Apr 16, 2011

I'm on phone so difficult to type and do any formatting. I. Was digging like normal today and noticed my lesche starting to bend. I then investigated and a huge crack has formed halfway through the blade! Ill upload pics when I get home. Its bad enough that I had to get a screwdriver. Does pred tools offer a warranty? I still can't believe this...wondering if I should bother getting another one.

So I called Pred tools and they said they can't do a warranty, that'd I'd have to call WM manu. or something. :?:

Update: Bigboard (New England Detectors) is setting things straight by sending my a new lesche!!!! Thanks bigboar and NED! You guys are the BEST!

Normal digging :shock:

You might seriously consider getting one of these! :lol:

Jackhammer spade :wow2:

I've had mine for two years now and it is still as strong as ever.

My lesche has slightly bent but not enough to affect performance.

My Hori Hori knife is way stronger than a Lesche. I love it!

Try the New Gator Digger from Kellyco... It has been redesigned!

Just sayin...

You really should try the New Razor Edge Gator Digger from Kellyco... We redesigned it less than 2 months ago to be stronger and we have had some really good feedback on the new design...

I have it on sale for $19.95 on out specials page...

Check it out HERE!

Thanks for the link! That's amazing! :wow:

maybe it would help if the cutting edge is on the other side? I need a righthanded Lesche!

xlogit3k · Apr 16, 2011

HMm i might pick up one of those gator diggers for my dad so we both have good cutting tools.

Coin_Master · Apr 16, 2011

I thought the lesche had a lifetime warranty.

I also can't wait to see the pics.. odd but stuff does happen... We shall see how mine holds up, so far so good.. Great prices on that Garrett PP on that sup saver page and that gator digger..

Bonesquat · Apr 16, 2011

I posted some pictures. I really hate this because now I have nothing to dig with. :mad:

I may try that digger, Dan. Is it really as good/better than the lesche? For $20 I'd be willing to try one.

BluegrassJames · Apr 16, 2011

That hurts my eyes :shock:

Arrrrrggg! THE HUMANITY!!! It is like losing a member of your team. I am deeply sorry for your loss. Where do we send the flowers?

robby4570 · Apr 16, 2011

Looks like they both broke identically. That looks like a design flaw. Were they both Lesche's? I didn't look at the 2nd (earlier) thread, just the pic. I have a predator and it looks just like a Lesche, hope this doesn't happen with mine! :shock:

Carol K · Apr 16, 2011

Looks like they both broke identically.

Sure does! They both cracked in the same spot. Looks like you're digging in normal ground too.

This is pitiful! I thought they were the strongest thing going!

So sorry for your loss bonesquat.
