Price wise they can be very expensive and some are even very cheap.

We tested out a very cheap stainless steel digging spade that was advertised as being very strong, im my mind those 2 words do not go together, so intigued i bought one, from the internet.

Looking at the spade in places it seemed reasonable for the price but on closer inspection, i could see places that had flaws in the construction.

Undetered i took this out on a day metal detecting to try out, leaving my usually trusty Detecting spade at home..

I wonder how long it will last before the constuction of the spade finally gives way..

What are your thoughts on cheap digging tools?
