Perfect Winter Shovel for your Car
I have one of these and find it a perfect compromise between utility, size, and storage needs for the car. Note that while the description says it extends for long reach, that's still only about 3 feet. That's just fine for taking along in your car for the occasional dig-out, but you'll get tired of using really quickly if you are thinking of using it for your front walk!

The push-button mechanism for the handle extension is easy to use, the blade and handle are strong, and the extension of the handle into the blade ensures long-life, unlike some models that are pinned into a short socket only. You want stainless steel, as in this shovel, when you are storing a shovel in your car - you don't want it rusting in your trunk, staining everything it touches.

Great car shovel!
Great car shovel! Small but it still works great to shovel my car out of the not so deep snow.

I bought this shovel for my car and one for my nephew when he goes winter backpacking. I think it is indispensible although a little tough to manipulate the handle sometimes.
