My wife and I started using one last year and it’s been a game changer for us on the line especially during freezing temps. Just curious how many other guys use them on their line?

I use one for frozen ground and for pulling beaver dams. They come in pretty handy.

Requirement for frozen ground trapping.

I use a full size and a half size, both have rubber grips and plastic handles. Everything is hard as a rock. A must have tool.

Never used them on the trapline. Used them a lot when we built trail and tread on the Ice Age Trail here in WI.

I modified/built one (yellow handle tool) for cat trapping and it has been, as you say, a game changer. I cut down the hoe blade, and the axe blade as well. That made the tool lighter, easier to swing and easier to carry. I also cut off about a foot of the handle, which allows me to swing it one-handed (at least, at the beginning of the day; by afternoon I need two hands). It's great because it digs and cuts brush, lops off branches and lifts buried rocks with ease. Wouldn't trap without it now.

Used to pack two of em (two is one, one is none sort of deal).

Than I discovered a rotary hammer and a spade bit.
