Home made & modified tools

Hi all,

Just thought I'd share a picture of my water/sand scoop made from a fire extinguisher the holes are 12 & 10mm I cut it with a angle grinder got a mate to weld it for me ( beer economy ) used a post hole shovel handle with a ezimate lift assist handle for in the water + some stainless steel on the front to protect and make it easer to cut through sand/mud .
The shovel is from buntings cost about $10 cut shape with angle grinder took about 10 min & works a treat for cutting plugs ( not my design seen it some where else thought it was good idea :8 )



Be great to see some more home made tools

Very creative Goldandsand. Didn't think of doing that to a shovel myself and bought one that looks very similar.
