Pros & Cons
Pros
Very portable and lightweight. Heavy duty aluminum makes it feel strong and sturdy. Easy to handle for someone who has had major spinal surgeries. Lightweight and small size makes this product highly portable.
The good news is is that i haven't had to test its durability yet. Does the job nicely. No complaint here.
The shovel fits perfectly behind the seat of my old truck. Perfect for a backpacking trip in the snow. Use it in my snowmobile back pack. Sick of looking at a huge shovel in my backseat until april.
It is sturdy, easy to assemble, lightweight, and reliable for a motorist. I’m lucky that the shovel was sturdy enough to not get bent or dented w/o protection while in transit. It’s really sturdy and breaks down easily.
This is the one i bought/received, ignore amazon if it says i bought another model. The brand cofit has one here on amazon. Bought 2 to have in car for winter time. Long lasting item.
Cons
Very flimsy shovel. Its small. Like back hurting small. Turns out i was wrong and it's not really helpful at all.

Price
Spend the money but this shovel instead of a cheaper one you’ll be happy
I went into this hoping i could get something decent for 20 or less so i’m very happy with what i paid
Amazon’s prices are in a constant state of flux but when i bought the orientools ht240 it was priced at 18
Shipping
So far it has been used three times since it was received it midjanuary
Packaging/appearance
Upon opening the package for the first time i discovered there were no packing peanuts in the box nor were any of the parts pro... Read More
Please don’t waste our time with your one star review because the box andor the item was damaged
The shovel arrived in an appropriate size box not too huge but none of the parts have to be shoved in there to fit either
Just left in box as it takes up little room
Competitiveness
This is a difficult price to beat and along with height is one of the main reasons i picked orientools over other offerings here on amazon
Also while looking at similar “too short” reviews of similarlypriced shovels from other brands like cartman and snowjoe i notic... Read More

Let me say that i have never owned a fourwheeldrive vehicle and have never been stuck to the point that i couldn’t get myself out

That is not because i’m a better driver than most but is the byproduct of being prepared for the inevitable

I have reduced more 4wheel drives than i can count over the years because they got overconfident and ended up high centered in a ditch without the necessary tools to free themselves

The entire thing is made of aluminum except for the plastic handle which is very solid and a good comfortable shape no sharp edges
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The handle is in two pieces which i thought might be an issue but i found that the handle collapses into itself and those two pieces don’t ever need to be taken apart
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The length of the handle that is inserted into the shovel end is of sufficient length as to provide a good sturdy connection and support for some rigorous digging and with the handle collapsed it is basically double walled and of a good length to get under a vehicle and dig
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I have read several reviews from people who thought they would use this to shovel their walk in the winter and that is not what this shovel is for
