No worries Dan, I won't attack ya.

I'll agree on the Lesche trowel & Predator shovel. Like you Jim, I don't get out to as many cellar holes as other guys, but to me, it just made sense to make the investment now & not have to think about replacements for many many years. Good luck on whatever you decide to get.
