Customer Reviews
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 Aldo Eguia
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."
Compact and light   2010-02-23
By Garrett G. Chun (Nor Cal)
Use this shovel for backcountry snow camping. Great for building a snow cave. Three lengths: packed, short, and long. For shovel snow over your shoulder I'd go with a longer shovel. But for trenching and caves it works great. Cheap too. In the same weight range as the BD aluminum models. Have not used it in icy conditions yet.
It was so good...we named it.   2010-02-17

I am so glad I purchased this shovel! I live in an area that does not get much snow, so I wanted a shovel that did not take up much space in my trunk thinking that I probably wouldn't need it for maybe even a few years. Then came the Snowpocalypse of 2010. This shovel was perfect. It was strong enough to manage as much snow as you can fit on it. Please check the size of the scoop before you purchase though. If you are looking for a big shovel, this is not it. However, I live in a condo building with a large parking lot. This shovel's small size actually made it easier to dig out around my car and especially under it and around the wheels. There is no way I would have been able to dig around the wheels the way I did with a bigger shovel. "Shovely" will be a member of my family for a long time.
