DIGGER27
In Memory Of
Love my Lesche, it chops, slices, dices and works well in great dirt but holds up especially well in my rock and clay infested SE. dirt.
Plus it has a lifetime warranty which is great for me because I am rough on my tools and do way too much prying so i have broken two.
Still, on the deeper holes when digging conditions are good i haven't had much problem at all getting dirt out of the hole with that flat blade I always thought a scoopier blade might make me a little faster when going deep.
I never looked for anything else but recently came across a store that dealt with some MD equipment and is planning on moving to a smaller space and he might get out if the MD supply business.
Last time there I noticed everything he had in stock is about the same as most dealer's discounted prices but he has a sign that said all accessories are now an extra 25% off.
I looked at his Wilcox digger display the first time there but yesterday I decided to go back and pick up a little Christmas present for myself.
Couldn't resist, the price was just too right, $13 tax included.
I was planning on getting the shiny 12" stainless digger but I noticed there was another one among all the different ones hanging there, also 12", also stainless and with no shine but way, way thicker at 12 gauge.
The shiny version is 16 gauge and decently stout but I think with enough pressure I could bend or even break it...this thicker one I doubt even I could hurt it much if I tried.
On these tools the handle and the blade is made out of one piece of the same thick steel and the handle part is just bent into a round shape and then covered with the plastic hand grip.
No weak points that can break from what I can see which is sometimes a problem on other cheap diggers.
It could use a bit more padding on the handle but for now it is good enough.
It is 2" wide with a V in the blade, not exactly easy to cut perfect edges around a plug because I tried, not easy at all as a matter of fact but I hope it will scoop deep dirt out better so I will carry both tools around for a bit and see how they work together.
It has marks that measure up to 6" on the blade so that is nice.
It is kind of a small version of my 31" Sampson without the cuts.
I think I might sharpen the point, the front edge and the lower sections of the sides some, that might make breaking through the top of the dirt and digging nicer looking plugs easier too.
It has no cuts in either edge but if I decide I need some a grinder can take care of that, I am hoping a sharp edge will do the job without the cuts.
We will see....at the very least I now own a strong looking backup digger just in case I need one.
Ladies and gentlemen may I present the latest addition to the arsenal my new Wilcox All Pro No.101S model hand digger.
