Digging a fire pit, knocking paydirt from a streambed, trenching a tent platform - there are more uses for shovels in the outdoors than you can name! Our miniature shovel is constructed from tempered, forged steel and expands to a full 15.9 inches. Our mini shovel collapses to a compact, 6-inch package, giving you all the power and durability of a full-sized shovel, a taking up a fraction of the space.
