THANKS Title: Re: STAINLESS STEEL SPADE Post by: Bob on September 06, 2009, 06:46:43 PM Wilkinson's in Swansea have SS spades reduced to just over £3. They have ash handles, the SS is pretty good but rather large and heavy. Has turned-over flanges on top to stop you splitting your wellies. I bought one and cut it down to the size I wanted with an angle grinder. Check out Wilkinson's near you?
Once it was cut down it wasn't too bad and usually I drag it after me anyway, I don't usually carry it. :) Title: Re: STAINLESS STEEL SPADE Post by: Terra (Mike) on September 07, 2009, 08:19:58 AM HI FOLKS CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHERE TO GET A GOOD STAINLESS STEEL SPADE AS I HAVE JUST GONE THROUGH MY FOURTH SPADE >:( >:( :o :o LOOKING FOR A LIGHTWEIGHT BUT TOUGH SPADE THAT WILL LAST LONGER THAN A FEW MONTHS :D :D ANY IDEAS ??? ??? ???

I use the draper mini roughneck spade now, I think they have a lifetime guarantee , so keep the receipt! Worth trying anyway ;D |
