Why I sent this back

Ranked #404 - Shovels
July 24, 2007
Although this shovel and probe combo seems like a good deal, I decided to return it because the probe was too short (only about 180cm) and flimsy. It was recommended to me that the probe should be at least 300cm and sturdier than this one which has to be flimsier so it can fit in the shovel handle.
