Lesche & predator tool physical comparison... pics & measurements ....
I got my new predator tools 85e (orange handled) digger today & decided, to compare it to my old lesche standard (red handled) digger. I havent seen anyone compare the 2 online so that is why i am doing it.
Note: the red handled lesche in the pic i have used for a few years now so it no longer has the original finish that is on the pred. tool. Also It is probable that I have worn the tip down a bit after much use so take that into consideration when comparing the measurements.
The designs DO have small differences.
The pred. tool is longer that the old lesche. Its handle is longer & its blade is longer.? The indent where the blade meets the hilt is a bit more broad that the older lesche (hopefully you can see it in the pics).? The blade itself is just a tad wider than the older lesche. Not sure if the blade itself is thicker as i dont have a micrometer handy.... they are both VERY close if not the same thickness.
Note: measurements are as accurate as i could measure them & may be off by a tiny amount.
I havent used the new pred. tool yet in the field.?
The one thing that i think is a great improvement is the hunter-orange grip. I have, in the past, dropped or left my old red handled lesche in the field & had to spend some time finding it. The new hunter-orange handle should make finding it easier.
