          Looks great for ruining the lawn or just chopping back the odd massive clump of sansevieria,...... badly.
          Yeah, not put it on my Christmas list just yet.:biggrin:

            Don't think it would last long with my rocky ground, I'll stick with the trusty Bulldog and a mattock.

                Same here, there are big flints lurking just beneath the surface, sparks would fly if I used that :)

                    I have one. It's good for chopping tough roots but it has no inbuilt strength for levering a large shrub or small tree out of the ground. I feel it would snap/bend. It has its uses but for tough jobs I rely on my Newcastle Draining spade. That'll even smash concrete blocks without a murmur.

                      Now hearing it from yourself Kindredspirit who as one and knowing what it is actually capable of doing, there's a lot of difference to how the video shows it ;)
