Sturdy, but small March 15, 2010 Oye! (DC) I bought this shovel to keep in my car as part of an emergency kit. I like it, feels strong and sturdy, but it is a bit small. The shovel is about the size of a hand with fingers spread.
A sturdily constructed shovel February 26, 2010 callcam I haven't used it yet, but this little shovel looks like it'll do the job I bought it for. I keep it in my van in case I have to dig out snow around my tires in the winter. Fast shipment.
Be aware of what you are purchasing ... February 15, 2010 David Carswell (DC Metro Area) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
For what it is, this shovel is very good. My only real complaint is that it is very dull; the "digging edge" could stand to be much sharper, as it is, it is not even rounded off. That's nothing that can't be fixed with an angle grinder, though :)
As far as construction, it's extremely solid, rugged, and well made, pretty much what you'd expect from Gerber.
What you should be aware of before you buy, though, is that it is *very* small. This isn't comparable to the GI "trenching tools", or the Coleman camp shovels you're probably familiar with. It is closer to a garden spade. Folded, it will literally almost fit into your pocket, actually will fit into a larger ski jacket pocket. The blade is smaller than my (adult male) hand, including fingers. I bought this to put in my trunk for digging my car out in an emergency ... it is just barely big enough to be useful for that purpose.
So, if the size is appropriate for your needs, this is a great shovel.
Great Shovel February 7, 2010 A. Schettl (Oshkosh, WI) Gave as a gift. He loves it and has used it a few times to dig out his car. I would suggest it for in the trunk of your car.
Decent quality, maybe not useful for everyone. February 6, 2010 T. Nelson (Virginia, USA.) This puppy is built solid and will dig up some dirt if needed. Good for ice and snow as well. Not as long as I'd like though. Makes me wish I had just purchased a spade and cut off about 2 feet of the handle. Got it for my mother to put in her car. She likes that its collapsible but has a difficult time unlocking and opening it with her tiny hands. She will probably leave it opened up and just toss it in the trunk.
This tool isnt for everybody. Its not very long and if you dont want to fiddle with the locking ring it will go unused. Maybe next time I'll get the Glock entrenching shovel. Its a little bigger and the handle is longer.
