The rounded leading edge and low-angle blade penetrate consolidated snow, and the T-Grip handle provides a solid hold when you're digging snow pits. A TIG-welded connector tube increases this avalanche shovel's durability, and the Spadetech's slotted blade allows for rescue-sled construction.

Great little shovel.If you want light and want to free up room in your pack, here it is.In summer, I even eliminate part of the handle for less weight.Ideal design for digging snow pits and profiles.
Is this strong, and effective at digging? Is it one piece or
Is this strong, and effective at digging?
Is it one piece or two (does the shovel and handle disconnect?) and what is the strength of the connection between blade and handle if it does seperate?
What is the main difference between this and the G3 AviTech shovel? Which is stronger? which is the better digger? Thanks!

This is better for diggin in hard coastal and cascade conditions!
Both equally strong.
The avi tech will scoop a larger volume per scoop.
