While I was waiting for my Lesche to arrive, I bought a $14 digger with a long handle. Once the Lesche arrived I was somewhat disappointed with it. As others have stated, I found the blade on the thin side. It's serrated on only one side and not on both as some of the ones pictured here but that's my fault as I should have researched and specified better on ordering.
Another thing about the Lesche is that it's ok to cut plugs but it's a mediocre digger. My $14 digger does a much better job scooping out dirt.
So I use my no-brand, $14 job 90% of the time.
I am contemplating buying a T-handle Lesche or a T-handle Predator(?)
Agree. See my thread about Lesche digging video. After using garden shovel for months its gotten pretty easy to get in and out of hole. Maybe I need to just use Lesche only to get better. Lesche is alot better in the harder soil and does get thru roots.
