I've been using a Raptor from Predator Tools as my main digging tool for some time. I've come to really like it in normal ground conditions. We have had no rain here for some time. It's hot and very dry to the point where the usual humid clay is now totally dry from the top to several inches underground. In some places I can only remove the top 2 inches before the Raptor seems to hit a cement block. I find it really ineffective in these conditions. What are you guys using when the dirt seems to transform into concrete ? I occasionally use a Lesche small shovel in the woods but never anywhere else so no shovel type digger recommendations please. Thanks.
