Having gone through several cheap digging tools while metal detecting I was going to buy a lesche digger and then I saw this one for sale. Reviews where good so I ordered it and gave it a try.

Apparently this is an upgrade from the model under 15$ by the same company. After using this tool extensively I love it. It is well balanced and very sturdy. The sheath with catch to keep digger from falling out is also very nice.

The serrated and cutting edge work well for cutting plugs and sawing through roots. It is very sturdy, I have used it to chip through gravel and have placed all my weight on it to pry with ( I'm a big guy) and it doesnt budge.

This thing is attractive in appearance, comforatable and easy to use and virtually indestructible. The only thing I can fault it on is that if you dont wipe of your blade well before sheathing it that dirt gets stuck in bottom part of sheath and is very hard to get out.

Hope this review helps...

The inspiration for this seems to be the Japanese hori hori garden tool, but they have added functionality. This baby is heavy and sharp, if you drop it from waist height, it will easily stick into the ground. The flat end on the handle makes it very easy to push into the dirt by pressing your palm flat against it. It makes you wonder why more hand held garden tools don't have this feature. BOTH sides of the blade are sharp, one side serrated, the other is flat blade. It comes with a holster that you could clip onto a belt, but I don't see myself using that much.

This is an awesome tool for the garden. I have purchased many such shovels but none so versatile or of such quality. I like the carrying case as it can hook on my jeans and I have it with me as I move about the garden. An excellent addition to any gardener's tool collection.
