Fine, but a small shovel is lighter, cheaper and probably works better. Diggers like that really hurts our hobby and it's image. Please people, be considerate of our public image and help preserve our hobby.

Well said Larry,

I agree we need to be aware of how we are perceived by others that do not understand the hobby. It only takes one foolto mess it up for everyone else.

Take care,
