They certainly are great bits of kit,the trouble is over here in the UK if we want to buy one of these diggers we have to pay a premium as in carriage and also duty which is why you dont see many of them overe here,but as you cannot patent a spade as such,maybe the odd feature,name that type of thing,we have seen a massive rise in stunning copies of these diggers and at a really great price as well.
No questions about it Predator Tools are the defacto standard and have been for many years but also have seen a rise in diggers in stainless over here that are as good as quality and possibly cheaper,which is a shame i guess for Predator.
