>>2280260Those mini shovels look like an interesting alternative, if you're just looking for a small shovel. (abou the same size, about the same weight)
But those modern mini shovels are complete crap if you want them to last.
Great to have in the car to get it unstuck. To have in the garden for the raised beds. Even to strap to the backpack for some innawoods light duty digging.
Not if you think you're gonna chop a tree in half with a shovel.
