Ingeniously designed and well crafted   2010-03-31
By R. Oliver (PA)
An ingenious design to collapse a good length handle into a small stow-able sized package. Overall seems sturdy enough, though I have not had to use it yet.

solid quality   2010-03-18
By ML King (USA)
I was expecting a half-baked POS, and I got something I think will last for a really long time. Handle is aluminum, has two sections, seems sturdy. Scoop is decent plastic, better than the cheap snow shovel I had been using. Collapses down to the size of the scoop, and extended it looks as it does in the pic. FYI, it is kinda short for a snow shovel, but that's the point. It fits in your trunk v. well.
It's a small shovel, but Great.   2010-03-10
By NA (NA)
The product is great, and small. The reach is short. It's around 3 feet in length. Make sure you bend your knees, and keep your back straight. Otherwise, you'll blow your back out. I wouldn't try to shovel a lot of snow with this. That's why I got 2 shovels. The passenger should be able to help me out, just in case.
Almost perfect... but broke after just two uses.   2010-03-05
By Alex Kneller (New York, NY)
This little shovel is great except for the fact that it broke just after two uses. The push-button that locks the collapsible handle in place broke and fell out. Now I can't really use it. I sent email to the seller to see if they'll replace it. Update: Just a couple of hours after I first emailed the seller about this problem, I received a reply from them: "Per your request we have placed a no charge reorder."
