Defiant are lovely but not as good in use as the Xcavators.
There's no Tommy bar with the Defiant stick so actually screwing into anything isn't the easiest to do.

+1 for Jag Excavator - tommy bar and palm saver (with spirit level) makes life easy and accurate. Augers are sharp - I use rubber walking stick ends (available on Amazon) to protect them in transit as they can shred luggage if not careful . .

Any pics Yonny? There's no Tommy bar on the website.
If they do I might well be ordering some.

There are pics on the website buddy - under 'Accessories' you'll see the 'Defiant Digging Stick'. The tommy bar is stored in the main shaft of the stick.

Ahh ok, the digging stick.
If only the Ti auger point banksticks had one.
In my opinion, the Xcavator wins, a bankswith a Tommy bar.

Here you go - being inserted into a concrete path, using a proper ratchet (A Tommy Bar could not possible cope with such torque, top would sheer clean off!)

+1 on the fantail. It's an excellent pod. I'm a big fan of the spacing it gives me between my rods. You customise it to be the same footprint as a traditional goalpost, but I normally just leave it on the widest config.
Plus being titanium it's all but bombproof while still being impressively light
