if i were you, i'd ditch the shovels after the first stuck. without them maybe not stuck so much!
Stimpy thinks we will be tits deep in the white stuff in T minus 30 days!
You tuned up and ready to go with one of those fine Costco shovel in your pack?

i beat the crap out of one of those at costco and it did not bend or twist it is a pretty good tool , but it does not have a saw in the handle like the expensive ones

We went and bought a set just to see what they are like. They are IDENTICAL to the Avalanche Safety Solutions Shovel. If I handed one of each to you with no labels you could not tell them apart.
Wanted to compare it to my SOS model

A lot of the items I have purchased at Costco are better than the so called name brands. Likely the shovels are made
at the same factory in China as the name brands.

how many people are honestly digging pits and using the saw in the handle...
Oh someone thought it was for cutting down trees???

none of the saws in the handles are meant for tree pruning....just snow.
