Long handle shovel

[stateguyt]

To all you land hunters. Which brand of shovel do you prefer to use. I want to get a Long handle 25 plus inches

I hope for private property and not public land.
The application of long handled digging tools has been covered on the forum many times.
Predator has a good reputation.

I have also used the Predator line as well...but this time for a long handled shovel with a root cutting edge on it I gave the Whites a try. I like it..seems as tough as my Predator. Just bit less money.
Loved the Predator also..don't get me wrong..problem is availability.They always seemed they were out of the one I really wanted.

31" Lesche Sampson T handle.

Fantastic plug cutter.

The Lesche Piranha has served me well for relic hunting... 5 years and still going strong.

I have the Predator Tools Barracuda and the smaller T-handle Lesche (Sampson ?) as well. I like both but the Barracuda is bigger, heavier and has a much better footplate. Truth is I don't use them very often. I bring the Barracuda in the woods and the Sampson on the wet sand beach. Everywhere else is strictly hand tools (Whites Digmaster and Predator Tools Raptor).

The Whites Ground Hawg seems to be liked as well.

I use the Lesche 31' T handle Relic Hunter shovel. It has served me well on our tough Georgia red clay.

The absolute best long handled shovel anywhere is the Ace Hardware Floral Shovel. 10 year warranty! Lightweight and cuts through roots, etc.. Absolutely great for small 4" square plugs. I hunt demolitions 99% of the time and it is great. I never use it in a park all because of the optics, but is is superior to anything I have seen for cutting a small neat plug.
