## Overview

The Ultralight Backpacking Trowel weighs a mere 0.48 oz (13.5g), crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum for unmatched strength-to-weight ratio. Featuring serrated edges on both sides and an ergonomic end cap, it delivers powerful, comfortable digging. Handmade in the USA with a lifetime warranty, this versatile tool also functions as a tent stake or shoehorn, making it a must-have for minimalist hikers and backpackers.

## Description

Please note: this is an ULTRALIGHT tool and is extremely lightweight. It has been specially designed for those looking for ultra-light yet reliable equipment. Weight: 0.48 oz (13.5 g) total length 18.4 cm. Patent pending design handmade in the USA. This small shovel is designed to be used by ultra-light backpackers and hikers as a potty trowel. Lifetime warranty against breakage under normal conditions of use. Made from super tough aircraft grade aluminum with a strength-to-weight ratio that competes with that of high quality titanium. Use it to pry through rocky ground without fear of bending or damaging the tip. The thin edge cuts cleanly through lawns and small roots. The serrated edge cuts through medium roots. The end cap provides comfort and digging power. Use full force when digging without the handle cutting into your palm. The UV resistant plastic end cap is attached with 2 stainless steel screws. Holes along the spine improve grip when digging. Also thread a rope through the two holes in the middle of the trowel to use it as a dead man's anchor. Also a great replacement tent stake, shoehorn and fly swatter. This virtually weightless pocket-sized shovel is also a great companion for gardening and metal detection. These trowels are not anodized because the process involves toxic chemicals I don't want to have in my home shop or our environment. The surface shows wear but a well-used trowel maintains a simple rustic aesthetic. Do not use this product in fire. Exposure to open flame alters the heat treatment properties of the metal and weakens it.

Review: Eine sehr gute, kleine Schaufel, wenn man wandert perfekt. Sie ist tatsächlich ultra leicht. Ich kann mich den vielen guten Rezensionen hier und Tests im Netz nur anschließen, dieses Produkt ist meiner Ansicht nach das beste, was es aktuell in der Art zu kaufen gibt. Vor allem der kleine Abschluss am Griff, der aus buntem Plastik, macht es am Ende aus. Man kann auf die Schaufel drücken, ohne das es in der Handfläche einschneidet. Das geht sonst so nur bei deutlich größeren und schwereren Schaufeln, oder eben gar nicht ohne Schmerz oder gar Verletzungen. Natürlich kann man damit nicht in felsigem Boden buddeln. Das Teil ist zwar stabil, aber eben nicht für Stein sondern für Sand bis schwerem Mutterboden im Wald gebaut. Dafür taugt es aber dank seiner Löcher im Stil auch mal als Ersatz-Hering in sandigem Boden für einen verlorenen oder dort keinen Halt findenden Zelthering. Also ich kann das Produkt für Trekkingtouren uneingeschränkt empfehlen.
Review: It may be a small item, but a bad trowel will cause a lot of frustration or pain. Either because the trowel can't cut through grassroots or because it digs into your hand instead of the ground. This trowel has some serrated edges, meaning one can cut through roots relatively well and the plastic top on the handle along with the shape of the handle really make it a lot more comfortable to use even in hard soil. With other trowels, I would almost always end up having marks on my hand. Coming in at just 14 g on my scales, this is one of the lightest trowels I've come across and it's nice and packable too. All in all my absolute favourite trowel and I would highly recommend getting one if you like hiking or bikepacking. It's worth the higher price point. The next time you have to dig a hole, you'll be thankful you bought it.

Este producto no solo es ligero, es resistente, ergonómico y de muy alta calidad. Por precio y calidad lo recomiendo ampliamente ya que no solo sirve para escarbar si no también para usarlo como estaca por los orificios que tiene resulta muy fácil utilizarlo como tal.
