I ditched the traditional spade a few years back my weapon of choise now is an American style long handle spade, far easier to dig with than the traditional short job. Mines similar to the £28 job in this LINK after that spend what you can genuinely afford.

 I also have a stainless fork (from Aldi or Lidl) that's hard to beat for general use lifting spuds etc.

Hi
Do you find the handle on these kind of tools difficult to hold?
Ive tried them but find without the "T" shape or "D" shape end part of the handle you never seem to have a good grip.

Hi Danny
It was a bit odd for a start but now I don't even think about it.
