No brainer purchase! Great product!

Lightweight, sturdy, compact, and even cool looking! Great little shovel that's strong enough to break through compacted snow and ice. I ordered this one to try it out and after use, I've ordered another. Weight is about the same as a plastic shovel but with the aluminum build, it'll last. The only negatives I can see, which were not enough to knock it down a star, are the aluminum and the price. $20 is a little high for a shovel that sits in the trunk. However, would you pay $20 to know that you will be able to get out of a pinch during a snowstorm? I would! So what's wrong with the aluminum? Answer: not much, but when you're on asphalt and you continuously scrap the bottom while breaking through ice, the aluminum slowly wears away. Even after one use, it seemed to develop a jagged sharp edge. Now, this will only add to the breakthrough capability, but I just wanted to mention it as after every use, it may continue to wear down. Regardless, the plastic shovel I was using rarely cut well enough to even reach the road and when it did, it broke down the shovel way quicker than this aluminum shovel that is being sold here. So as you can see, my negatives were spun into positives because let's remember what we are buying here... A shovel you keep in your car. Don't expect this thing to change your life, but rest assured you have a fighting chance of getting unstuck in a snowstorm on your way home from work. That's all I needed to know before I ordered another.

Perfect shovel that has proved itself for over a year

Outstanding shovel that has performed beautifully! It dug me out of 4 feet of snow in the great 2016 North Virginia blizzard. It also dug out 4 other cars in my apartment complex after the same storm. I've since used it to clear my patio, stairs, small sidewalk area, and more. It fits in my trunk bag, alongside a battery jump-starter, blankets, and other emergency stuff. I couldn't be happier. It's light, durable, and compact. And if it ever breaks or fails, I'm buying the same one. Highly recommended.

Amazing little shovel!!

Amazing little shovel!!! I just used this to dig out my car after snowstorm Jonas. While it's a bit smaller than a standard shovel-both the scoop and the arm, it's aluminum and extremely sturdy! I was able to lift lots of wet, heavy snow with no problem at all. The fact that it comes apart and can be easily stored makes it convenient to keep in the trunk or in a closet in your home (I live in an apartment and lack storage space so this is huge!). I'd hughly recommend this to anyone without any reservation at all!!! See before and after pics of the what I used this for..

worked like a charm and saved him from abandoning the car ...

Just saved the day. Brothers car got stuck on a back country road in the snow at dusk. We came by and dug him out with this shovel. worked like a charm and saved him from abandoning the car for the night. Everyone should have one in their car if they live in or visit the snow. We bought it for emergencies and to dig out when buried from snow plows going by. I think the people who get cracks are hitting the pavement or something. We dug for hours in the snow and light gravel and had no issues. Five stars for sure.

Excellent for little shovel!

Great for the car, great for slicing snow, excels where plastic shovels don't. It looks like crappy shovel, but it held up to slicing out sections of the 20 inch snow drifts from this record breaking snow dump, the same one that collapsed the Metrodome and effectively shut down the city. It's not good for actually carrying snow, but great for digging underneath a car and moving snow away from wheels, or building a snow cave sort of thing. It has zero flexibility and is very good at carving or spiking through snow. Well worth it.

I'm very pleased with these shovels.

I've had these shovels in my Amazon cart for a couple months. During that time they came down in price. Christmas of 2016 I put together winter survival kits for my adult kids, sister and a few other relatives to keep in their car. Here in ND and MN being prepared is an absolute must! This year I decided to give good quality shovels to be added to their kits. I'm so glad I ordered this shovel. It is very lightweight, STURDY, and can be separated into 3 pieces for easier storage. The mechanism (little silver buttons that fit into holes) that allows the 3 pieces to fit together works really well. It would have been nice if the shovel could be taken apart, then have the pieces somehow hook together for easier storage.....or come with a storage bag, but it was not a deal breaker for me. There are 4 holes, 1 at each corner of the shovel, that I have no idea what the purpose of those holes is. If anyone else knows, please tell me. I was fortunate enough to get these when they were marked down to about $14. Color is really nice too.

Great for car trunk

5 stars because this is for carrying in the car for emergencies. Like if you go skiing and it snowed all day and you need to scoop out your tires to get out of the parking lot. Comes apart in 2 pieces for easier storage pops together for about a 2.5-3 foot long shovel. Threw it in a pop up bin with my chains in box and a roadside kit. What this is not for that I've seen reviews complaining about: shoveling the driveway (are you nuts?), backcountry camping/skiing/hiking if you really trust your life in an avalanche to a $20 shovel then maybe you should reconsider your backcountry hobbies, digging out your car from being buried by plowed snow while parallel parked (no this is not for east coasters who park on the street and have their car buried by snowplows overnight). In the trunk in case it snows less than a foot while you're at work or on the ski slopes or for driving over the mountain pass sure this is plenty.

Lightweight, Durable Emergency Shovel. GREAT FOR KIDS!

I purchased a AAA Aluminum Sport Utility Shovel one year ago to keep in my car during the winter season in upstate NY. I was so impressed with the quality of that shovel and the reasonable price that I purchased a second shovel when we replaced our second family vehicle this month. Pros: -Aluminum construction with detachable handle makes for a lightweight, compact shovel that is perfect for the car trunk. Metal build is vastly superior to plastic when trying to clear mixed snow and ice, and wet snow. -Handle has two positions. Fully extended, the shovel is long enough to use for spot driveway clearing duty. In the compact position, the shovel is easy to handle around care tires and under a vehicle caught in a drift. -PERFECT FOR KIDS. I didn't anticipate this feature when I bought it for emergency use, but when my two year old wanted to shovel the driveway with daddy last winter, I gave him the AAA Sport Utility Shovel with the handle in the compact position and he loved it. It's sufficiently lightweight for a toddler to have some serious fun. -Value. This shovel offers great piece of mind and versatility for less than $20. Cons: -Absolutely none. Verdict: Lightweight, durable, perfect for emergency use and great for kids. I have one in both of our vehicles now, and I would highly recommend to anyone living in a predictably snowy region.

Shovel breaks down very nicely and smoothly and stores under the seat of my ...

Half a dozen snow storms later...Still going strong! If you beat this thing up hard, that is into ice and other obstructions/pavement it will begin to show signs of wear and tear. However, if you use it as intended for SNOW and don't try to leverage anything heavy with it or bust up ice dams it will perform season after season. This shovel breaks down very nicely and smoothly and stores under the seat of my car neatly. The blue color look sharp and attractive and all of my friends want one now! I bought 2 of these: 1 for my vehicle and 1 for my fiance's. Positive Update: We are getting slammed in Upstate NY (2/16/16) and I travel house to house for work in homecare Physical Therapy...Without this shovel I would not have made it out of several of the driveways of my patients this morning. (We're talking 18-20" with drifts and snow plows adding to that amount). I was very thankful I had a quick way to address the insanity! If you are ever stranded roadside thigh-deep in snow and would like to stay in your car to stay warm while waiting for help you'd better consider that if your muffler(s) get covered and plugged with snow it's NO BUENO...Wouldn't it be nice to have a sound way to dig out those muffler pipes? Rather than becoming a statistic, invest in this safety measure...This shovel makes that process a lot easier and offers peace of mind at the very least that you have an exit strategy in some capacity. I still Highly recommend as it has been a life-saver this season!!! Safe travels out there!

Strong, light, collapsible. Great car shovel!

We picked this year to buy a townhouse in Mammoth Lakes, California (where we plan to live six months of the year)... And then they got the most snow they've ever had in February. Seriously, we could snowshoe out our second floor windows. We needed a small, light shovel for clearing the steps up to (or down from) our front door, and then to keep in the car for those shovel-out-the-garage-door situations when we arrive. This shovel is easy to carry in the car, but very sturdy. Excellent!
