Lesche Mini Sampson T 18" Digger [Modified]

[DaytonaGold]

I bought this digger and let me tell you it is an awesome piece of hardware, however 'm deathly afraid of hitting a live cable or wire so I decided to make a small modification to it which looks and works great and it just may save my life someday, lol.

I purchased a can of Plasti Dip, they have black, red, and yellow and I decided to go with black. Essentially it's liquid rubber in a can and is very durable and if you don't like it you can always peel it off. All I did was find an old tupperware bowl wide and deep enough to dip the handle in, poured enough Plasti Dip in the tupperware bowl and dipped my digger handle in. I let the excess drip off and hung the digger to dry in a non humid, room temperature environment. A second dip doesn't hurt either if you like more of a thicker rubber grip which I did here. I did use some black electrical tape at the base of the digger head shaft to give it a clean look.

Anyway, this is a little tip for everyone and I hope you enjoy it. By the way this particular Lesche digger cuts through some extremely hard terrain and makes clean plugs. I've avoided parks and such before I got this digger and now that's all I want to hunt because it makes digging a breeze.

Below are some before and after pics:

Cheers

Spirit, I did in fact purchase it on ebay from NED. There customer support is not very good so do not expect answers right away if you have questions. But it is in fact a great tool.
