Snow shovels

[Wingwalker]

Anyone interested in getting a cheap snow shovel
Costco has small shovels 2 for only $19.99 can't vouch for the strength of tthem but for only 10 dollars each theres no excuse to go sledding without one

They work like shovels !!

THEY MUST BE SHOVELS !!!!!!


The label clearly does not say ideal for avalanche rescue ! buyer beware !!!!

if i were you, i'd ditch the shovels after the first stuck. without them maybe not stuck so much!

i beat the crap out of one of those at costco and it did not bend or twist it is a pretty good tool , but it does not have a saw in the handle like the expensive ones

We went and bought a set just to see what they are like. They are IDENTICAL to the Avalanche Safety Solutions Shovel. If I handed one of each to you with no labels you could not tell them apart.

After all this hype i went to the West Edmonton costco to look at them and none in stock. Wanted to compare it to my SOS model

A lot of the items I have purchased at Costco are better than the so called name brands. Likely the shovels are made
at the same factory in China as the name brands.

how many people are honestly digging pits and using the saw in the handle...

Oh someone thought it was for cutting down trees???

I do.

 

[takethebounce]

none of the saws in the handles are meant for tree pruning....just snow.

 

[Pro-Am Chris]

I totally agree and have never used one on a tree yet but I would if it was my only option
