[QUOTE="MadDoctor, post: 667868, member: 20718"] Have a look at a Trojan Trenching Shovel with 'D' fibreglass handle. After I had a few cheapies break at the same point urs did above, I bit the bullet and tried this decent one - a long handled one (the ruler shown is a 60cm one). The blade is wayyy too long. From mem I cut off about 4-5 inches, keeping the same profile as it originally had. I figured I could change the profile later, add teeth, and/or narrow it later if needed, bit haven't had too. As a precaution, I threw on a hd hose clamp on the bottom of the handle, and the duct tape is to protect everything I own from getting cut to shreds by the clamp, and too keep the dirt out. Havent used it for a while, but worked a treat for me. [/QUOTE]
