I'm looking for what I think is called a "pinch"
It's a long piece of metal slightly narrower than a scaffolding pole with a spike at one end and a flat chisel type at the other end. Handy for digging for fencing etc in stony ground. I've seen some extortionate long handled chisels but they're not what I'm looking for. Anyone I know that has one has had them for years and can't remember where they got them....

Anyone know where to buy a reasonably priced one?

most builders/fencers would just call them a 'bar', or maybe a wrecking bar.

Don't know where you would buy a new one other than the general builder's merchants.

I may have a spare one you can buy, where in the country are you.
