This is a strongly-built shovel; the connector tube and blade have been heat-treated after welding to relieve residual stresses and produce a rugged shaft-to-blade interface.

Silver anodized aluminum shaft.
D-grip handle for easy grip; it features a unique ice axe loop attachment point.
Handle and blade are red for easy location in the snow.
Dry-stash compartment in handle.
Multiple slots in the blade allow easy attachment to pack, rigging an emergency rescue sled with skis, or rigging as a deadman snow anchor.
Available in two versions: ultralight short or longer telescoping handle.

Bill KerrWell Designed Shovel

Voted 5/5

Rugged professional use shovel. Buy the long telescoping version as can leave the center section of handle if want to go out with shorter lighter version.
A little heavier but this is what you want your buddies to carry as it moves lots of snow and will not break.
