Snow Claw. Has anyone tried them?

Playing around online, Spotted these "Snow claws"

Has anyone every tried them?

I'm looking for a spare shovel for digging out stucks. Curious to know if they actually work and last.
Web site shows them for $20.00 on First Place Parts

That is some pretty soft snow they are using it with.

I would much rather have the BCA D2 Dozer if I am trying to save someones life or for the odd chance I have to get the goon spoon out to get unstuck.

Yeah I wouldn't trust it for saving lives.
Just curious for knocking down that wall of snow to help get the sled out.

I think digging a sled out is much easier when the shovel has a handle. Getting down to the track would be tough with that.

This looks like it sucks for digging straight down.

I think this would make a good addition to my kit.

Well.. I ordered one. Try it out. If it sucks for digging, I guess I can play Frisbee with it.

It's endorsed by a San Francisco newspaper??? How much blower snow do they get there?

They were digging in fresh avy snow as well... That's not easy to do with a good shovel. It sets up like concrete very quickly.

good decision... a lot of internet trash talking from people whom never used it.

This thing moves mass amounts of snow compared to most avy shovels. hard pack is just that, and anything softer than slush it works awesome. best lightweight and functional alternative to second shovel. buddy of mine actually clips it to the snow flap for easy access!

Nice, thanks. Sounds like a god place to clip it to as well.
That's all I'm looking to do, move soft snow fast to get out of the stupid stuck, or creek.

I have one in the tunnel bag. It works good for what you have in mind.
