this new (to me) tool will help me provide more versatile assistance in the recovery after our CZU Lightning Fire.  Waiting out the last possible rains and after the all clear, we will be heading back up to the burn sites and former home locations to continue restoration and recovery work.  This may be just the tool to chip through charred trees, ready a new garden or even help prep a space for temporary housing while the hold home is being rebuild.  Cheers to all!!

You know I first saw these last year and have done a lot of research on them and dreamed of the day I could get one.  Well over this last weekend I finally caved and bought one.  The checkout process was very straight forward.  Kind of odd to by something from Russia.  The process said if you want to pay by CC or debit to send Yury and email and he gives you the content to put into the email.  He was away from home but responded quickly letting me know when he would be back in town and to help me complete the payment.  He was prompt and sent the info when he said he would.  As soon as I paid, I got the tracking information.  It is kind of fun to see it get tracked through Russia.  Then this post shows up. Timing is everything.  Kind of glad though there were two models I wanted but could only afford one.  Maybe I will be able to get the other one I wanted.  We will see.  I got this for my garden but every year I go camping for a few weeks and typically get a big rain storm the starts to flood the tent as my trench I dug with the shovel was too shallow.  I plan to take this with me to help dig deeper trenches this year.  What fun I will have with this new Toy, I mean tool.

My blacksmith husband made one similar to the "large".  It is his go-to tool in the garden!
Very versatile. You can get in close to plants with the tip, and a long handle saves bending over.
He made a left-handed one for a friend that coveted his.

Welcome Yury :)

Every time I see a photo of one of these tools I wonder why it is twisted to the side a bit. Does it cut better that way?

Yes, every bend angle is calculated very carefully - for most easy and effective work.
