Why I use the Lesche...

This is why.
I have no patience when I am digging, this is a volume business as far as I am concerned, and sometimes I use my digger as a pry bar on large rocks in concrete hard ground in droughts and on big iron I find in my parks that all used to be farms in the past.
I know I shouldn't do this...but I still do.
Being as abusive as I am on my equipment I try to aim for products that will protect me when I do something stupid like this.

I broke my second digger within 3 1/2 years, called the factory and talked to the nice lady who didn't ask me how old it was or how it broke or if I had a receipt or sent in a warranty card, she just said send it in and they will replace it.
It cost me a few bucks to ship it to them and within a week they sent me a new one complete with another sheath priority mail on their dime.

This is why I will be spending money on a new Raptor digger from these guys soon...I got a new machine coming and I just might need to dig a little deeper come next season and that scoop design should come in handy.

Nothing else I ever tried lasted me more than a few hunts with the abuse I can and do dish out.
In life you sometimes need to protect yourself in case you do dumb things and spending money only once on a tool that does the job easiest and with the most efficiency just makes sense to me.
Well worth the price, IMO, and for a guy like me it ends up being a great value and much better and cheaper tool to use than any other over the long haul

I was in sales for close to 30 years.
I always tried to get this fact across to people and many believed but some didn't.
When I buy things I understand the term and idea of being an "Informed Consumer".

I see posts all the time about how great this digger is and the value it actually has, and also a few that never believe that.
For those that don't dig like I do that is fine, other brands and sometimes the cheap stuff might work out well.
For me, most of those others never will.
 
I have tried many diggers,some good,some not so good but the Lesche is about as good as it gets.
 
I have never tried one of them. A friend of mine, ( I do have one friend ), Has one that I want to try some day. Right now I am still using my survival knife that I had when I was in Viet Nam. Been using it for over 30 years now. ... KEN
 
the raptor is a great little digger but not for harder soils. that wide thick blade makes it alot tougher to push into soil.
the leshe you haave pictured is a great little digger. I also like the wilcox diggers.

I would never consider using the Raptor in the soil when I hunted back in Alabama.
Clay filled red dirt, weird grass or what they called grass, hard as a brick soil in the dry season, and in Birmingham we are at the foothills of the Appalachian mountains and just about everywhere I dug there seemed to be a layer of pretty nice sized rocks 2" deep.

Now here in Kansas the soil is mostly rich and dark and rock free with normal grass and just about perfect...so perfect that after a little rain with just the right amount of moisture I don't ever have to dig around a full plug, I just stick the digger in one spot and with just a little leverage a pretty nice round plug just seems to pop up that is still attached on the opposite end just like I was a pro at this.
It is actually amazing, and after what I went through my first 18 months in this hobby digging here is a dream by comparison.
I used to hunt with a friend back there all the time and don't think I don't rub this stuff in and brag about it when I talk to him.

I can actually go pretty deep in a very small diameter hole pretty quickly with the straight blade on the Lesche, but the scoop on the Raptor will make me all that much faster and better at digging deep and it seems perfectly designed for this type of soil.

Good to know as I been using a Lesche for about 6 years or so and I had figured that if I broke it, I'd be knocking on my local dealer's door to buy another one.
Of all the different diggers I have, the Lesche has been my favorite. If I had to send it for replacement, I'd be downgrading using one of my other diggers, unless I'm in a place where I could use of my Predator shovels.
Reminder-1...... think about a 2nd Lesche/Raptor
Reminder-2...... (seasonal) take a jewler's file and touch up all the edge's
 
I love my Lesche - am impressed that you have been able to break one. In reality, most unbreakable objects are kinda' sorta' unbreakable, but IMHO the Lesche is up there pretty close.
