Speed Shovel

[spikemd]

I am looking at buying a new shovel and came across this 'Speed shovel'. Comes in two sizes and looks to be light since it is aluminum. Its a bit pricey though. Anyone have experience with it?

Looks pretty cool to me. And now I can add to my oxymoron collection as well.

From that old joke...

"Military Intelligence" is an oxymoron.
I've added...
"Journalistic Integrity"
"Jobless Recovery"
and now
"Speed Shovel"

I have used this shovel on our race truck for years. They are made in Santee I believe. What is cool is the one side works well when you need to hack up bushes when your stuck and the handle is a hammer. It also does not weigh anything.

Looks cool, might get one...but I don't see anything about two sizes?

Poly lists two sizes.

Thanks. It looks cool but there is very limited info on the website. Sounds like polypeformance is the best place to get it.

How about 'reliable rover'?

Thanks...weird, the Speed Shovel website doesn't list two sizes.

Sure looks like aluminum...but I can't find anywhere it actually says it is aluminum...pretty much has to be though, at only 2 pounds.

It's aluminum

My buddy runs one on his chase truck. They r light and sturdy. Originally made for off road race vehicles. And he solid handle is nice.
