Hi guys,
Looking to get one of the shovels and would like feedback from users.
My observations:
The Tyger spade area looks a little small 125mm wide x 180mm deep. Nokta Makro 180mm wide X 240mm deep.
Weight:
Nokta Makro 1.73kg
Tyger XL 1.4 kg
Does the NM make it harder for deeper holes as it is wider at the top, then it's cutting width. Where as the Tyger cutting edge runs right to the top of the blade.
Any comments appreciated.

P.S I've just made my second shovel using Greenhornets template and it has been great, just need a bit more strength and it my birthday month.

Thanks Phantom
 
I've been using the NM Premium Shovel for about 12 months, adjustable length one. Very sturdy and cuts/digs quite effortlessly. My initial concerns before purchase was the durabilty/strength with the two piece adjustable handle, but I haven't noticed any issue whatsoever when using 👍
