PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
As its name suggests, the Voile T Wood Shovel was designed with a T grip and comes with a saw that can even cut wood. The T handle is more compact for storage in your pack than a D grip, and the shovel's construction is a tad lighter than other models. Inside its shaft, the T Shovel stores a hi-tensile steel saw blade that will cut through just about anything including wood and steel. The saw blade easily attaches to the telescoping shovel shaft for extended reach. This telescoping shovel and wood saw make the perfect combo for backcountry travel and safety.
Bottom line
A pefect tool for when things go wrong, and when you might need to cut something besides snow.
Product Reviews
Sawzaaaa
I have this shovel and it gets the job done as much as shovels are concerned, Wish I had a deploy though. This is nice because it safely hides away my saw which was all ways marring up my bag.
bullet proof
I use this shovel for building snowboard jumps in the backcountry, and hopefully that is all I will ever have to use it for. I have heard some people mention t-handles being hard to use in comparison to d-handles, I have not had a problem with the t-handle on this shovel especially with gloves on. Plus the t-handle travels much better than a d. Have not had to use the saw yet but it is nice to know it is there, and it is the only one I have found that can cut wood. Highly recommended and its bomber construction feels super solid.
Not there yet
I bought this shovel online so I didn’t have the benefit of looking at it first. Frankly, since it was a Voile, I thought it would do fine. - The T handle is not as nice as the D Handle. - The little spring clips Voile uses to hold the handle, blade and saw in place can get sprung right out. Fortunately for me I found mine in the snow on the trail of Mt Pierce at the start of the Presi-Traverse and didn’t have to use duct tape and bailing wire to hold it together. Think Twice about this isn't ideally designed with winter backcountry use in mind.
Nice Shovel
I bought this shovel to outfit myself for back country riding. I used it a bit to test it out and it seems up to the task. I even used the saw to cut down a pine tree which now sits in my front room with lights upon it.
