I use a similar shovel.
Though I left the handle full length.

I believe that's Aquachiggers favorite as well.

It makes a great alternative “I feel” to what’s out there. Mind the fact I can’t use any kind of handled spade in the playgrounds, sports fields areas I hunt, this is more for the woods and farm fields for me.

Buy a cheap 4 inch one at harbor freight. Get safety glasses and a thin cutting wheel and gloves too!

i did a similar modification on a cheap 10.00 shovel from walmart. It has worked great for about 3 years now. Using the same shovel I removed the handle completely, then cut it down to resemble the raptor digging tool. After sharpening blade on both they have done a great job for me

Laplander, you hit it on Harbor Freight. The average home owner will do fine with it.

The Ryobi cordless is awesome.
1/16 inch cut off wheel makes trimming a snap.
CK Lowe's or home Depot for sales.
