Black Diamond  Deploy Show Shovel

Great shovel. I actually use it in my car to get me out of snow when on the road. Light weight, slick design, handle shoves down to make it compact. Strong, sturdy. Not sure I would want this one to carry on my back skiing, but I don't need one because I don't ski in avalanche zones any more.

I've had this shovel for around 3 years, and it works great. It packs down small, fits well in any bag, and is quick to put together. It's a bit small to use as anything but an avvy shovel, but it's fantastic for its intended purpose.

Don’t love this shovel. It’s small making digging harder and slower. Also the curved handle fits awkwardly in my pack. And the curved blade makes cleaning up pit walls a chore. I recommend the evac 7 or 9.

Light and relatively easy to lash to the outside of my pack. One callout is the short handle makes for more work (I'm 6'2") but this is an acceptable trade-off for the shovel's size and weight.

Purchased this item for a winter backcountry camping trip to the Boundary Waters WCA in Northern Minnesota. Performed as expected. Handle extended perfectly even at -40. Very pleased.

It's nice not having to store two parts. Fits perfect in M cirque 22 ski vest. Makes it quicker to remove / use with one or two less steps of grabbing / attaching a handle. Love it.

Love this concept. Keep the pieces together for speed and efficiency. Not my mainstay for winter camping, but amazing for quick and light touring.

Love how small and simple this shovel is. Not the smoothest to deploy with the little metal tabs being a little tricky to get out of the way.

Should have paid attention to the dimensions, it does what it is supposed to do but feels tiny for a big g fella like me.

Great shovel, good price. Small but very effective, easy to carry and extend handle. High quality very durable.
