最強の折りたたみスコップや！

This little thing folds down small enough that I can keep it in my car, tucked away in a small emergency box where I keep some road and off-road items to get me out of trouble. It came in handy this winter when I got my Cherokee stuck (beached basically) and I had to literally dig the car out of the little hill I got it stuck in. Ground was frozen, it was 28 degrees outside, and it took me 3 hours. But I couldn’t have done it without this incredibly strong and durable trenching tool. It would have taken me 6 hours doing it by hand, or with a wooden stick. Plus, the plastic handle prevented my hands from dealing with cold metal. Which I appreciated very much. Buying a second one so next time some one else can help me dig. And probably a third to keep around the house, just in case. Will also make an awesome gift for anyone you know that might drive in hazardous areas, or in crazy weather.

What do you do when you live in an apartment with no space for fullsize tools? You buy this thing! It's a mature design and none the worse for it. Very solid in the hand, surprisingly functional for something the size of a paperback, and feels tough enough to get the job done - unlike cheap tools, it's not a jiggly mass of clunking after a few hours' use. The bonus: many people think this tool isn't the same as models that lock the blade in different positions. Actually, it is! The blade locks out as a normal shovel, or at about 90 degrees from horizontal (actually about 95) as a pick, or with the blade folded back flat as a bludgeoning whacker thing. (Which probably has a better name, but SHOULD be "bludgeoning whacker thing".) What people miss: to lock the blade in position you need to position it first, then tighten the locking screw HARD ANTICLOCKWISE - it feels solid at least half a twist before it really locks the blade, so it's easy to think you've reached the limit before it actually locks. Rest assured, this tool does indeed have 3 positions, and does indeed lock the blade in place. Compact, hardwearing (at least on earth!) and with a saw edge unlike the cheaper Fiskar's version. That said, compare it to the Fiskar's if you get a chance; I've no idea if that cheaper tool is equally well made. But I'm happy with my Gerber's.
