Ozark Trail Heavy Duty Steel Folding Shovel

The OZARK TRAIL FOLDING SHOVEL is a great working tool. For the best experience, I wear safety glasses and protective gloves. Now, for all the pros: - Easy setup. Straighten, tighten, and it's ready to go. - It locks into position with a few turns of its metal collar. - Heavy-duty steel construction. Good solid feel. - On one side of the shovel, it has both a scalloped edge for easier digging and a serrated margin for help clearing roots. Perfect. I used it to break up the earth in our backyard flower bed. One stubborn weedy bush, gone! - It's foldable. Closed, it only measures 5½ inches x 10 inches. Full size, it opens up to 23 inches in length. - Not only is it handy in the garden, but it's also small enough at 2¼ pounds to take on road trips or out camping with us. It easily fits in anywhere. - It will also be there in case of any emergencies. - Storage is not a problem. And happily, there are no cons. So, whether you're toiling in your garden or enjoying the Great Outdoors, the Ozark Trail Folding Shovel is a practical multi-tasker to have around.

This little shovel is awesome, we took it camping and used it to make a spot for a campfire. It's made with durable metal that is going to last, and it folds up small to fit in your car or camping equipment. The side also has ridges to help with stubborn roots.

I received this as part of the spark reviewer program. Its small but mighty, good for keeping in truck or car during winter. Be careful when tightening the locking mechanism because it can over tighten fast and we had to use pliers to undone it

Not thrilled when I saw the size of it esp with the heaviness of it , I have a bad back so to bend over to do something is not happening and makes it very hard… I thought for some reason it was a folding one so I knew it was kind of mini, but I thought it unfolded into a normal size or you could unscrew it and extend the handlebar. I was wrong so if you think that too keep going, it's literally only like a foot tall. I leaned up against one of my kitchen chairs to show how tall it is.

My absolute favorite best shovel I've EVER had. A lot smaller than I anticipated, but it's worth the hunching over to dig because this shovel is a MONSTER %26 can dig up just about anything. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good quality shovel!!

the shovel part is pretty good, but whenever the weather got really bad it stopped working right the first day. It started out just fine but before the second day it stopped tightening up right, so had to pretty much swing it like a hatchet to break the ice.

I'm not a camper. This was one of a couple of choices for foldable shovels that could still be ordered in advance of an expected snow storm. I planned to keep it in the car, thinking I could use it to dig myself out if I got stuck. I liked that it was made of steel, had a pointed tip and a serrated edge. However, it does not extend as far as my last foldable shovel. It's very short. And it is hard to get the shovel to stay in position. It keeps coming loose and I can't adjust the handle as shown on the box. Pretty sure I'm going to return it. Maybe my intended application was not right but the shovel just isn't working correctly and there are no directions.

Bought 2 to put in the car and the truck for safety in the winter to dig out of snow if necessary in an emergency. I gave it 5 stars simply because of the bild quality. Haven't actually used them and hope I don't need to but you never know. If I do need their service I will modify this review to their performance.

When it's folded, it's about 10 inches. When fully extended, about 22 inches. It folds along 2 joints. I would highly recommend to bring with you for camping and you can also use it in the garden if you don't already have something for digging. The locking mechanism can twist very tight. Wouldn't even know the shovel folds. It also has 2 different serration patterns: round and sharp.

Super convenient that it folds up because it takes up less space, which you need lots of when camping. It works well for us and it's very much a novelty for the kids too. We've only used it twice, but it seems like it'll last and we'll have it for many trips to come.
