I've been viewing lots of ads here and there about digging tools. Some are quite robust, but even those look like they would be easliy bent if abused very much. Many years ago, there wasn't much choice in diggers. Little hand spades left alot to desire, especially when digging in rock piles. The best I've found, over the years, is still an "M1 Carbine Bayonet" (the real m'coy only) I don't think you can break one. I've pryed pretty big rocks out of the way, even pushed on one with my foot, never causing damage to the tool. Just thought I'd toss that in.
