Mammut Alugator Shovel

By Ranked #101 - Shovels May 9, 2011

Superlight, and as strong as a driveway snow shovel from the local hardware store. I was curious to see just how well it would hold up to hauling huge blocks of snow (making a snow fortress on Shasta) being so light, but it performed flawlessly without a sign of failing. Its long enough to actually move some snow, but also telescopes down compacting the size. I shoveled, and shoveled.. and shoveled with it, and it felt very sturdy the whole time. The shaft is shaped like a triangle for grip and a secure fit between sections. The blade comes off the shaft, and the shaft pieces apart for compact stowing. After I was done shoveling, I used it to help anchor my tent. This is the perfect shovel for mountaineering considering weight, effectiveness, and price. Pick it up.
