Just an Old Fashioned Shout Out!

[Confetrit]

I'd just like to take a moment and give an old fashioned Shout Out to Mr. George Lesche and Predator Tools. I just ordered the Raven Model 25 Shovel from New Jersey on Tuesday morning about 9:00am. I received it here at the house today at 1:30pm. That's pretty fast shipping. The Predator line of tools tend to be a bit pricey, but when you look at what you get in the long run, it's money well spent. Tools that are made in the USA, and made to last with a 5 year warranty. I have another Lesche shovel that I have had now for close to 10 years. It is still in great shape, but I needed a shovel with a little more Ummmmph for some rock solid dirt we have been hunting and digging in. Last weekend I tried my Hunting Pard's Raven shovel and realized this is what I needed to tackle this dirt.I will have it this weekend and look forward to using it. If you have considered one of these shovels, do yourself a favor and get one. These shovels will out last me. I am not affiliated in any way with Predator Tools, just one happy and satisfied customer. It is not always true that paying more gets you better quality, but in the case of Predator Tools, one can honestly say that you get what you pay for. Thank You Mr. Lesche for manufacturing Quality built American Tools proudly Made In America.

I've used Preditor tools since the big split took place and I have never looked back. You are right Confetrit, they are simply outstanding digging tools and yep, made in the good ole USA. I applaud your SHOUT OUT! And second it as well. HH Jim tn

Kinda fresh to hear a praise instead of a pan,especialy US made. I been using their digger for 15 yrs give or take. Bullet proof.

I also just moved to a Predator 55 Barracuda. The wider wings on the blade allow ALOT of power to be put on the blade which cuts holes effortlessly. The way the handle transitions to the blade also allows for heavier prying forces to be applied without fear of bending it. I’m only 3 hunts into it but the 36” length is already nicer to use because I, as a taller guy, don’t have to bend over much to use it. Having 100$ wrapped up in a shovel that’ll likely last for decades? I have no problem with that, I’m liking it so far!

When I got mine, I remember looking in awe at the fine welding job and how much care went into sharpening the blade part. I've hit rock with mine and chopped very solid ice and it has nothing to show for it. They need to be oiled periodically to keep them rust free but that's a minor price to pay. I don't regret this purchase one bit. One of the best decisions I have made.

Yes sir, the Predator Tool lines are Quality made. By Americans in America too.

I have the Phoenix from Predator and love it. I also have two Grave Digger shovels which are also made in the USA. Feels great to buy American made tools.

 

[JimmyCT]

I agree. George makes super quality diggers!!
I have the Model 31(C) Raptor and this little digger can withstand serious pressure in prying out boulders and breaking old tree roots
I know that’s not the intended use but holds up to the rigor of setbacks encountered in the field of detecting. However with the Raptor there are no setbacks! This digger gets the job done !
I have bent many diggers in my lifetime but the Raptor will never be one of them. Extremely well made USA product.

Oh yeah... if you are serious about metal detecting, Lesche tools are a must!!!
Very well made.
I have the 31” Sampson model and I love the size... perfect for my needs.
And of course I have my Lesche digger that I have been using for over 14 years and it still looks great!
