Unfortunately the only place we could find was on ebay and they weren't cheap either. Look for item # 110655095852 or chinese military shovel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclestuffy Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Buy one of the shovels with the wooden handle - the cheaper metal ones that bend in three have a plastic spacer in the joint above the spade bit and this plastic tenders to break with moderate to heavy work.

Chris Bb Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 I cannot believe that I just spent eight and three quarter minutes of my life watching a video about a shovel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
