What are the differences between deploy 3 & 7?
Size measurements? I want it to move snow for the tent. What is the best choice? Thanks

i think the 3 is perfect size but it depends what you want to do with it, I like building jumps and it wold be excellent as an avy rescue shovel ( Thankfully Ive never had to use it as one). But, if you want to build things get the seven.

I say go for the deploy or transfer 7. The 3 is a little small for my liking. Specs for the 3 are on the top right of this page under tech specs. The Deploy 7 is Length Attached: 26.8in Length Detached (Handle): 18.1in (collapsed and connected) Blade Size: 10.3in x 15.75in
