I've got the same model, shovel and pick. While it IS bigger and heavier than the current tri-fold, it holds up to abuse MUCH better. I've been thru three of the tri-folds before giving up on them, now I keep the old stand by in the suburban, and as soon as I find another one (of the same quality) I'm buying it, they're worth the weight strapped to a pack for digging, demo, defense (sides of blade sharpened, it makes a great double headed hatchet), chopping, and the list goes on.
