Note that while the description says it extends for long reach, that's still only about 3 feet. That's just fine for taking along in your car for the occasional dig-out, but you'll get tired of using really quickly if you are thinking of using it for your front walk! The push-button mechanism for the handle extension is easy to use, the blade and handle are strong, and the extension of the handle into the blade ensures long-life, unlike some models that are pinned into a short socket only. You want stainless steel, as in this shovel, when you are storing a shovel in your car - you don't want it rusting in your trunk, staining everything it touches. 10 of 11 people found the following review helpful: By DYI devotee (New England, USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Ames True Temper 1518000 Penguin Collapsible Emergency Snow Shovel (Lawn & Patio) If you park in the street or want to have all the winter gear in your trunk, this is a good choice. It takes little trunk space, but can move quite a bit of snow. 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Ames True Temper 1518000 Penguin Collapsible Emergency Snow Shovel (Lawn & Patio) I bought this shovel for my car and one for my nephew when he goes winter backpacking. I think it is indispensible although a little tough to manipulate the handle sometimes. |
