I continue to be pleased with my CS shovel. It's held up very well over a summer of digging and chopping. It certainly stands up to a fair bit of (ab)use -- I didn't baby it one bit, though I didn't set out to destroy it either. Based on this, I bought two more, one for each car.
It's also a lot of fun to use. Or maybe that's just me.
Thanks for the review, Doug. Going to have to add yet another CS tool to the kit.
