iunio Folding Camping Shovel w/Pick, 18.3in Heavy Duty Carbon Steel Shovel

This is an edited review is for the 17" shovel.As far as the steel goes, it seems to be durable and strong. I've had my shovel since April of 2018 and have used it several times now camping and it does good job. The handle on mine seemed a little loose, but I fixed that by using some Teflon tape on the threads (see attached pic) and it does just fine now!Giving it 4 stars because the compass sticks. I took it out of the metal handle and keeping it level, made sure there wasn't any metal around and the needle just sticks. I have to tap it a few times before it points anywhere near north.EDIT: Raised to 5 stars! The seller contacted me just a few short hours after I wrote the review above. I was very impressed with the way they handled my issues with the shovel! Customer service is very important to me and they definitely proved to me they care. I do a LOT of camping and their store will be one of the first places I'll look in the future to see if I need any of their products. The compass issue was also resolved. EnjoyHall sent me a new compass and it works fine! Thank you EnjoyHall!9/21/2020 Update: I've had and used this shovel now for nearly two years and it had become, hands-down, one of my favorite camping tools. I use this thing for nearly everything! I've even used it to dig out my Jeep Wrangler when it got stuck (yes, even as small as the shovel blade is, it worked wonderfully). It now stays in my Jeep and it goes everywhere I go. It is a great tool.

Perfect for the price

This shovel is smaller and lighter than the E-tool I had in the Army. However, the quality impressed me. I have used it backpacking and it is a great tool for digging a pit for campfires and cat holes. I didn't expect the sawing/chopping ability to be a any value, but it is well built and has been useful. The only thing I do not like is the compass is exposed on the end cap of the handle. Like all other compasses on these types of tools, it is cheap and unreliable. I bought it knowing that I would never use the compass. However, the fact that the compass is exposed on the end makes me feel like I will likely break it. The pouch is pretty sturdy and fastens with a belt loop. I would much prefer an alice, molle, or button attachment so I could attach it to the outside of my rucksack.Overall, it is a staple for my backpack now and I would definitely buy it again.

as shown and quality as promised

Got this for my neighbor who's into "metal detecting". He loves it. Says its the perfect size to hang on your belt while out looking for treasures.All the tools you need to dig and explore with.Thanks Amazon...Great buy...

Very very compact.

I just got this shovel and was amazed with the weight and construction. Last year I purchased several of the 16" folding shovel/pickaxe combinations and they were very lightweight. They weighed 12 ounces. This shovel weighs 1 pound, 5 ounces. The blade or head is larger, and much heavier steel. Everything is larger and has a stronger feel. The compass unscrews and has a very loud whistle which could be used to locate someone who may be lost. The nylon case can be carried on your belt, and has a strap to hang it on a hook. I gave the lighter ones to my grandsons for play toys. This one you can carry in your car or take on your camping trips. Thanks Iunio.

It came as described and it's very heavy and strong, it's not large but that's what I wanted for foraging in the woods.

La verdad no sabía que esperar por el precio, pero la realidad es que es una pala pequeña de emergencia y se siente muy bien, es plagable y trae un estuchito, incluso cuenta con brujula.

works as expected

For a folding shovel it definitely comes with its multiple uses and meets your needs just fine if you're used to a lot of outdoor work. It's also super sturdy, easy to move around and very easy to handle. Not disappointed at all.

Çek küreği gibi minyatür bı işe yaramaz.
