The plastic pieces that connect the three aluminum shaft pieces are very easily broken. My first outing at the beach I broke one of them. I replaced it with some PVC piping and duct tape but I could no longer take it apart. During my second outing to the beach nothing broke but there was noticeable deformation to the paddle. On my third outing the other connector piece broke and the paddle ended up in my trash can. It is easy to use and handy in an emergency but I would not recommend it for any other use since it is so likely to break or deform.

The paddle's parts are held together by large plastic O-rings. The paddle fell apart the first time I used it on completely calm water. Every few minutes I had to spend several minutes refastening the parts. The paddle's head fell off twice. I bought two that both suffered the same problem so I don't believe the problem is a one-off error. I threw out the paddles; they are useless.

Yes, it is cheap and easy and convenient to take apart and put in your backpack. I have many years experience with paddling, and I have never tried a paddle that is so small, weak, and makes you so wet (probably due to the large, unnecessary groves in the blades). However, you can split it into two and let the kids play with it in the canoe.
