Voile T Wood Shovel

Solid construction makes this shovel the perfect tool to dig in any snow conditions. The snow saw is an added bonus for helping with evaluating snow conditions. I bought this one for my wife but have used my own for over 10 years with no problems.

I have had this shovel for 2 years. unfortunately I lost the shovel. Its been rated the Best. and fits easily on the backpack. I snowmobile and sometimes get a ski caught on a tree. Nice to have a strong saw. I am also with Search and Rescue. This shovel is strong and lightweight and makes digging in hard packed snow easy. The holes punches are great if you need to tie off and use as an anchor. Big plus I've noted in looking at other shovels is that is lifetime warranty!

bomb proof, solid construction, saw comes in handy for doing test in the snow pit, and or cutting branches if needed. A touch heavy but worth the extra oz's in my opinion, now if I could just get the guys that would be digging me out to get the same quality shovel...

Another great shovel from Voile. This one comes in all flavors of scoops; T6, mini or standard size aluminum. The saw is a fine tooth blade, unlike the T6 avalache shovel which is a coarse rip saw. If you want the options of telescoping handle and different scoop types, get this one. Otherwise the T6 avalanche shovel saw blade is more universal and quicker to saw through wood.

I bought this shovel to outfit myself for back country riding.

I used it a bit to test it out and it seems up to the task. I even used the saw to cut down a pine tree which now sits in my front room with lights upon it.

I use this shovel for building snowboard jumps in the backcountry, and hopefully that is all I will ever have to use it for. I have heard some people mention t-handles being hard to use in comparison to d-handles, I have not had a problem with the t-handle on this shovel especially with gloves on. Plus the t-handle travels much better than a d. Have not had to use the saw yet but it is nice to know it is there, and it is the only one I have found that can cut wood. Highly recommended and its bomber construction feels super solid.

I bought this shovel online so I didn’t have the benefit of looking at it first. Frankly, since it was a Voile, I thought it would do fine.
- The T handle is not as nice as the D Handle.
- The little spring clips Voile uses to hold the handle, blade and saw in place can get sprung right out. Fortunately for me I found mine in the snow on the trail of Mt Pierce at the start of the Presi-Traverse and didn’t have to use duct tape and bailing wire to hold it together.

Think Twice about this isn't ideally designed with winter backcountry use in mind.
