The Mil-Com Lightweight Folding Shovel is a sturdy, folding shovel, ideal for camping trips and also for emergency use. The light weight and compact size of the shovel makes it ideal for keeping in the car for emergencies such as snowy conditions.
Light & Compact Shovel
The Folding Shovel folds in 2 places giving it a very compact size for storage. When folded it measures only 16 x 23.5 x 4.5 cm and comes complete with a mesh bag. When extended, it is 61 cm long with a 16 x 21 cm blade.
The blade is made from steel, but the aluminium handle makes the shovel very lightweight at only 810 grams, and still very sturdy.
Easy to Use as Shovel or Pick/Mattock
The handle unfolds easily with an internal spring to hold it in place. The blade can then be extended to the required position – either at right angles to the handle for use as a pick, or extended out fully for use as a shovel – and then turn the ridged outer sleeve on the handle to lock the blade in place.
The Mil-Com Lightweight Folding Shovel is a very useful camping accessory, especially for those who enjoy ‘wild camping’, and is ideal for keeping in the car in case you get stuck in snow or mud.
