I am a fully qualified time served precision engineer and never have i come across such a useless piece of engineering madness. These simply do not work and are not fit for purpose. The soil i have in my garden is a heavy clay soil and when the digger is rammed into the ground the spades fill with soil when brought up to empty you cannot get the earth sod out of the blades. There is no way of opening them to allow release. The have to use a stick to push the soil out piece by piece. I have completely re- engineered them removing the all the items painted yellow and welded the grey handles directly to the spades. This has turned them into a working product. I was shocked anyone could actually design such a stupid piece of useless tooling and saddened someone as stupid as me could waste their money buying them. No fool like an old fool. Read full review

I'm a big lad but this is too heavy to use for any time and the blades aren't shaped correctly so pick up is poor. It's well built and good value but not much use if you can't use it and it doesn't work properly.

Used it in heavy clay, which can not be compressed with the blades in fully open position. Setting the them to half open gives you enough leverage to remove a central core, then use fully open to cut a large hole. Glad I purchased this item, the broom handle versions on sale would not have lasted 2 minutes in clay.
