 Great little shovel May 03, 2009
By Alan Massey
This thing is fantastic. It's light, it's super sturdy, and it folds into a nice small size.
I took a file to the edge to give it a sharper digging point, this is something I do to all digging tools though. The metal is strong, but takes an edge pretty easily with a metal file.
The one downside to it is that if you squeeze the handle to hard the shovel folds. I noticed this when I was digging a hole and was coming down with a stabbing like motion. My natural instinct was to tighten my grip and when I did I could feel the thing fold. After I did this once or twice I was able to remember not to squeeze.
All around a great product though. I use it with my gardening around the house, and it will be coming with me on all my future camping trips.

 Effective Smart Tool Oct 31, 2011

You can save some weight with the plastic shovels but there is something to be said about steel. When it comes to clearing roots and rocks at your camp site this little gem can help. You can put an edge on one side and rid your tent spot of those nagging tree roots that will keep you awake all night. The fact that it folds and can slip into your back pocket is kinda neat and convenient. I got mine at walmart for 4 bucks. Highly recommended!

A Well Made Necissity Jun 19, 2011
By Cavedwe11er
I purchased this shovel for backpacking, canoeing, and camping. It is made out of Stainless steel so it is rust resistant. The handle folds to make it small and compact, however, it locks open and is very sturdy. It is also still made in the U.S.A. for a reasonable price.

This is a great tool a few of my friends have this model but the only problem is I just got an outdoors Walmart brand shovel of the same quality for 4 bucks, save your money

Reliable, Small, Effective Jan 17, 2012
By Scholar
My bud and I were hiking up to a campsite when it started to snow; as soon as we got to the site I dug a fire pit with this little wonder. I'll admit I was hoping it'd break so I could tell my friend folding shovels are not the way to go, but it didn't this little wonder tore through roots and some nasty gravel and never shed a tear. I would advise this tool to any light-weight camping/hiking, self-reliance person that needs a quick way to dig a hole. I would go as far as to say this tool is not meant for digging a mine, it's not meant to dig HUGE holes, that in mind I dug a 16'' fire pit to about 8'' deep in a little under 5-10 minutes.
