Portable. Fits in the trunk of your car. Extends for a longer reach and is compact for easy storage. Extends to 39'' for long reach.
Review by Laurie Irwin from Madison, WI:
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.
Review by New England Yankee from Northern New England:
I have one of these and find it a perfect compromise between utility, size, and storage needs for the car. 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.
