My shovel has also has a lot of play in the handle/blade connection area. The 6000 aluminum blade is equivalent to the Volie pro (6016 on the T6 model) the whole shovel besides the pad and handle are for that matter. If you want a lighter "bombproof" shovel may I suggest the Black Diamonds, or Ortovox Grizzly 1 or 2 preferably. This is a good shovel for in your trunk or on the Snowmo. Great for moving snow not HARDPACK.
