Coleman Folding Shovel/Pick

The Coleman folding shovel is so small as to be impractical except for survival gardening. It is in fact, no larger than a garden trowel. Over all I'm not very happy with my purchase

Coleman is a quality standard that you expect things from. I think that for nine dollars, you would have to be extremely stingy not to buy this. The quality is easily worth 20 dollars or more. I recommend buying this, because it seems like something that you could store anywhere and use more than once. I completely recommend this product for this price. Too bad wal-mart offers the same price without shipping :(

As any camper knows, you need to dig a pretty deep hole when you're camping, or else the smell will eventually drive you away from your site. This shovel didn't seem like it would be up to the task, but it actually worked like a champ. I was able to get 8 inches deep, which is pretty good as far as potty holes go. 8 inches is alot! Plus it folds down and it's easy to store. The only thing I didn't like is that the pick part broke off when I was using it to open a can.

What I'd like to find is something like the Army surplus entrenching tool I kept in my car many years ago, but this tool is a fairly satisfactory alternative. It's about half the size of the real thing so you can't go crazy with it, but considering its size (and the fact that it breaks down to a very handy size for storage) it is quite sturdy and well worth the price. I bought two, one for my car, one for my wife's.

works good if you fold the blade all the way out and use it as a shovel, otherwise it wiggles loose after some use. The carry pouch leaves a lot to be desired and it's a tad too heavy for my liking.
