Anybody used the Predator Hornet shovel?

I've heard great things about Predator in general but can't seem to find much on the Hornet (model 45).

Has anyone used one? What was your experience like?

While it seems heavier than other Predator options, it also seems like exact combination of features I'm looking for (long shaft, D-shaped handle, large blade).

No I primarily use hand digger like the Raptor model 31 C digging tool. I don't like the use of shovels in parks as I have used them before in some parks and was approached by angry parents telling me that their child fell down in one of my holes I left uncovered...

I'm looking for something for digging in forests and fields. Hopefully no one will claim I'm putting children in danger in those places.

Highly Recommend Any Predator Shovel. Many Other Brands are "Copy Cats" and not made same High Standards Preator Tools,. Call them tell what type hunting doing and recommend best for you

If you do much woods hunting the Radius Root Slayer Nomad is fantastic. The V notch really makes the difference when you need to cut though a root. Big enough to dig a decent plug but not too heavy to carry all day.

I love the little digger shovel.
Though little shovel.
Great length for getting back up too.
For us Old farts.

Thanks, I have one similar to this for travel/hiking into spots.

I'm on the tall side, so I'm looking for something longer that won't force me to hunch over. That's why the Hornet's 40" length appeals to me.
