[QUOTE="Rustynails, post: 499680, member: 15264"] I agree. I got sick of breaking handles so I replaced it with fibreglass. About 5 years ago I went to Bunnings with a vernier gauge looking for a handle with a 32mm OD. There was a cheap line of shovels branded Ironbark at the time and they had fibreglass / composite handles of the right diameter. Bought a long handled one and cut the head off it. Its a hollow handle with internal bracing and incredibly strong yet light. Ive levered rocks out with it and watched with concern as the stainless scoop was flexing but the handle didnt look like breaking. [/QUOTE]
