folding stainless steel trowel
SnowClaw ultralight snow shovel
<- Back to the "TOOLS" page
This handy folding trowel is PERFECT for anyone who needs to dig, scoop, scrape, chisel or pry. MADE IN THE USA of 18 ga. stainless steel! Easy to open and close and nearly indestructible, it's adaptability, high rust-resistance, super light weight (just 6 oz.), and perfect size means this is an all-around winner. Use it for catholes, trail maintenance, scaling fish, field-dressing game, clearing rocks and debris from sleeping areas, digging and cleaning up a fire pit, gardening, to clean up after Fido, beachcombing, mushroom hunting, and when hunting for treasure with your metal detector; it even makes a great ice cream scoop (yes, it's dishwasher safe)! BACKPACKER magazine calls it "the Cadillac of trowels...it's uses as a survival tool carry it far beyond the cathole." Positive lock-open, yet snaps closed easily. Unit measures 9 1/4" long open, 5 3/4" long closed, and 2 1/4" wide. Comes in a black, ballistic nylon, Velcro-close carry case with sewn-on belt loop. U-Dig-It is one tool that I consider indispensable!
If you need an ultra-lightweight, versatile snow mover that can go anywhere, the SnowClaw is just the ticket. Made in the USA, the flexible, 6 oz. SnowClaw can be used to move huge volumes of snow, hard-packed or soft powder, quickly and efficiently. Built-in handle grips make it comfortable to use, and various sized holes and slots make it easy to attach to your pack, strap on to your snowmobile, attach other gear to it, and even to use as a splint! The SnowClaw is great to keep in the car, on your snowmobile, on your pack or CamelBak, and in the emergency kit. The San Francisco Chronicle says "This is the smartest, lightest, most packable snow shovel around"; American Survival Guide magazine says "Ideal for snowmobilers, snowshoers, snowboarders, backcountry skiers, winter drivers, and anyone going into the backcountry"; and was the Editor's #1 gear review pick in Back Country magazine. Measures about 11" x 12".
