31" sampson T handle tool question

["Dr.Tones"]

Just ordered my 31" sampson digging tool and I was wondering about if its going to be long enough that won't have to bend down while using it. I currently have a 27" lil spade shovel that I like but it's really to short. It puts me in that awkward bent over position and its killing my back. I'm 5'11" ... Will I be bent over still?

Predator tools is Mr's Lesche himself. This one has a 37inch handle.

I like the new piranah. Serated edges on both sides. Roots don't stand a chance. Any of the Predator tools will serve you well. HH

Yes you will still have to bend. There is always tree roots to deal with. You will have to get down to use a pinpointer anyways. Might I suggest getting a pair of knee pads and dropping to your knees. Save your back.
