The compact design of the Black Diamond® Deploy snow shovel moves mountains of snow in minimal time, expediting emergency efforts.

  • Unique patent-pending trapezoidal curved shaft collapses into blade pocket for compact storage and transport
  • Shaft deploys quickly via a quick squeeze of spring pins; shaft shape prevents rotation for positive engagement of spring pins every time
  • Ergonomic T-grip handle feels like a D-grip but packs small and is glove- and mitten-friendly
  • Sturdy anodized 6000-series aluminum blade in a smooth and flat shape carves quickly through snow during recovery and cuts clean during pit analysis
  • Pointed blade enables more effective chopping and flat sides help in smoothing pit walls; anchor holes through blade allow use as a dead man anchor
  • An ideal choice for both the recreational and professional backcountry user, Deploy shovel's elegant design offers piece of mind and performance

Please note: Black Diamond products can only be shipped to the U.S., Canada and Mexico

Imported.

      Comments about Black Diamond Deploy 7 Snow Shovel:

      This shovel is well shaped and has a strong/sharp enough tip to dig through anything. It is great in the backcountry, because of its weight and versatility. You should definitely go out and by one! The natural curve allows itself to a better dig and although the length on the shovel it not as long as others, the power is noticeably better!

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Black Diamond Deploy 7 Snow Shovel:

      We wanted a shovel that would last for years and years and we decided to get the best available. We have not been disappointed. We used it last year up at Snoqualmie pass where the snow was over 10 feet. It is lightweight and hooks to our backpack or the back of our snowmobile easily.

      Good Shovel

      Pros

      • Angle of handle

      Comments about Black Diamond Deploy 7 Snow Shovel:

      I enjoy how it easily rips through tough snow unlike the smaller shovels on the market. I do however notice that the blade prevents a good clean cut for snow pits (easily fixable with hand), and has a back breaking shaft. If you are looking for a minimalist shovel this is not for you.

        • Snow Caves

        Comments about Black Diamond Deploy 7 Snow Shovel:

        When our Search and Rescue Unit went on a winter survival training mission last year, I had no clue what to get, and it was pure luck that I happened on this shovel. Thank God I did, because it saved my rear. The shovel performed great in the snow, and I was able to dig a very comfortable cave in about three hours. The blade and handle are very sturdy, and the shaft is the perfect length; long enough to get good leverage, but short enough to be easily manuverable. Aside from the price, which I thought was a little steep, this is a perfect shovel.
