Digging Tools: Lesche vs. Razor Edge Gator?

[Joe Pack]

I want to buy a good digging tool one time. Is there a significant difference between the Lesche, the Razor Edge Gator (or Minelab or others)?

I bought the Raptor by PredatorTools.
It slices a V flap plug in a second.
When it comes to digging it works great.
Nothing like trying to scoop up dirt with a knife blade.
I can plunge and lift for shallow targets with good leverage.
Parts the sod in half nicely, push it back down and looks good.
Painted construction orange so it doesn't look like a shiney weapon.
I use there Little Eagle T also when I don't want to take a knee.
Santa has a Pro Relic T in his bag this year for me. I've been a good boy.
George makes great diggers, rescue crews and the army use them.

The Razor Edge Gator is not even in the same league as the Lesche digger made by Predator Tools.

The Gator is made for and sold by Kellyco I believe.
The Lesche Digger is on it's own since George left.
PredatorTools are made by George Lesche with a 5 year warranty.
At $35.00 more then other diggers the Gator is in it's own league.
That big shiney chrome blade will get me questioned at schools or parks.
That design cuts sod and roots really good, when flipping the plug.
If you have to dig deeper your using your hands the blade no shovel.
With gloves or not holes have sharp trash in them alot times.

The Lesche digger is the top of the line digging tool on the market. RickO

I use the lesche and can't imagine using anything else......it will last a lifetime if you don't loose it.

I've tried three diggers... the Lesche is by far the best. Cuts quick, and doesnt break

i have a gator and i have used a lesche i don't like either one. i have a custom made sod cutter it is razor thin and strong not as strong as a gator/lesche but i can cut through a thumb size root in less than 10 seconds flapjack is buying one off of me and he owns a lesche. i will say the gator is not as nice as the lesche.

Sounds like you may have a budding business there Jay!

Is there more than one type of Lesche tool. If so which one would you recommend?
