HEAVY HEAVY, but good quality. Some rust on the inside of the detent, probably from storage.I totally spaced and realized, No Case.
Not as good as my old folding shovel I like the size of this shovel and bought it to replsce an old one which had disappeared. It is heavier than the old on which i don’t like, and the mechanism for folding is a push button, which i also don’t like. It has some play in the blade where the old screw collar did not. The blade meeds to be sharper in my opinion as well. Despite these issues, it works well and to my mind is a better shovel than the little folding ones with collapsible handles.
Almost impossible to unfold. Almost impossible to unfold. Very poorly made hinges. Even my very strong boyfriend had a lot of trouble opening it. I returned it.
