Very sturdy shovel, made of durable materials. The biggest advantage over traditional shovels is the ability to lock it in two positions. Unfortunately, despite the high price, the set does not include a case to attach to a backpack, hence only 4 stars.
The convenient folding shovel is completely coated with a protective layer to offer extra resistance against rust. Constructed with an anodized handle of glass fiber reinforced nylon, and a shaft crafted from robust 7075 aluminum.
The blade, made from carbon steel, is safeguarded by a powder coat. It features sharp edges and a saw, facilitating easy penetration into solid ground and cutting through roots.
A reinforced locking ring on the handle further blocks dirt and debris from infiltrating. The shovel can be secured in a semi-closed state, making it functional as a pickaxe or hoe.
