Title: Emergency only..as a last resort.
Product review: I differ with the first reviewer. The quality is sub-pare, and the mechanism to lock the handle in place for use is flimsy and the handle stays loose. The canvas pouch is just a bit thicker than a standard cotton pillowcase, and like the shovel, does not look as though it will tolerate any abuse. The blade is of a heavier gauge of metal, but whether of cheap iron or good steel, its hard to say since it has a coat of green paint on it.I purchased two of these shovels, one for the car and one for the pickup, and both shovels and pouches I received have the same lack of quality. I really was not surprised to find that they had been manufactured in China, not Michigan.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
