5.0 out of 5 stars for the price -- this thing is great..., March 6, 2008

By	Biggie "Tech Guy" (USA) - See all my reviews

While i'm certainly sensitive and empathehetic to the needs of of any US service personnel serving in the gulf (my thanks to you all)....just because amazon can't ship the shovel somewhere - -it shouldn't get a bad review in my opinion. For the price it absolutely can't be beat. If you want full blown 'survival" shovel like a pro climber would use -- then count on spending $100 or more......I just had to dig my car tires out of the snow the other day (I bought the shovel to leave in my trunk) and it was perfect for the job.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy and Compact, February 5, 2009

By	Jim Benton (San Clemente, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this shovel to carry on my mountain bike and use to build trails. It's light and compact and comes with a handy bag. The quality of shovel is superb. I have used it a few weeks now and the metal has not shown any signs of fatigue. You can set the shovel blade at a right angle to the handle to use as a pick. The handle length is a little short to get great leverage though. The handle extends and locks in place with a spring loaded button. Unfortunately the button and spring were broken on my shovel when I got it. Not sure if that happened during shipping but it wasn't a big enough issue to be worth returning it.

I would recommend this shovel for anyone looking for a quality compact shovel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Collapsing Shovel, February 18, 2008

By	A. Hustvedt - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a pretty good collapsing shovel. The handle has a telescoping joint, so it fold down into a very compact shape. The handle is made out of the standard fiberglass-nylon plastic material that Gerber is fond of using. It isn't very big when expanded out, but what do you expect for a fairly durable folding shovel.
