I filled the gaps between the shaft and the blade with 2 part Epoxy then painted it with some Krylon paint to camo it up. It weighs the same as the standard Fiskars NATO folding shovel.

The steel blade is very tough and hard.


I have the square mouthed version

Last time we had snow it cleared the wheels nicely, just wouldn't want to clear my path with it.



I have one of the pointed mouth versions that we use for tree planting. Need to go and have a look for the square mouthed one. Thanks for the tip! I too, prefer a real shovel and square mouthed is the way to go in the snow.
