I was looking for a good quality shovel to carry in the jeep. I found what seems to be a good shovel at my local Lowes for around $25. It is made in the US by Jackson Tools. I wasn't able to find it on the Lowes website or on the Ames/True temper/Jackson Tools website so I took a few pictures. The overall length is about 40" and the blade is about 8.5"x11" and it weighs about 2 pounds (using my feels about like that much scale). I am really impressed with the apparent ruggedness of this shovel. In this era of Chinese made junk this thing is built like a tank and with a little care should last forever.
