I purchased this to replace one of the small collapsible plastic shovels, which broke some time ago. It is so small and light, it sat in my trunk all winter, without being noticed, until I needed to use it today.After parking along the curb, in a slushy, snowy pile, my car got stuck. I took out the shovel and muttered to myself "I wish I had brought a bigger shovel."Anyways, the shovel easily extended to its full length, which is much shorter than a full size show shovel. The blade of the shovel is also much smaller. However, unlike the plastic ones, this is made completely of aluminum. So, once it was extended, it felt very solid and sturdy in my hands, despite being very lightweight.The sturdy shovel made short work of the slushy mess, and the small size of the blade was a nice asset, since it allowed me to maneuver the shovel neatly around my car's tires, and to nimbly scoop out the slush mound underneath my car, without touching my car's underside or the tires. The blade itself was good enough so I could dig down to the pavement. After about 10 minutes, my car was free, and easily left the pile of slush.The short size of the shovel did mean I had to stoop a bit more, but this is the perfect tool to get cars out of sticky winter situations. And, its small size means it can live in the trunk all winter.I recommend this shovel for anyone who drives anywhere where it can snow at least part of the year. The sturdiness is well worth the upgrade from the typical plastic portable car shovels.

Great little shovel! Collapses down to fit in the trunk easily (in the wheel well compartment), sturdy, and was great for shoveling my driveway. It's not big but it did the job just fine for the price! Nice to have an emergency shovel in the car.

Lightweight, sturdy, compact, and even cool looking! Great little shovel that's strong enough to break through compacted snow and ice. I ordered this one to try it out and after use, I've ordered another. Weight is about the same as a plastic shovel but with the aluminum build, it'll last.The only negatives I can see, which were not enough to knock it down a star, are the aluminum and the price. $20 is a little high for a shovel that sits in the trunk. However, would you pay $20 to know that you will be able to get out of a pinch during a snowstorm? I would!So what's wrong with the aluminum? Answer: not much, but when you're on asphalt and you continuously scrap the bottom while breaking through ice, the aluminum slowly wears away. Even after one use, it seemed to develop a jagged sharp edge. Now, this will only add to the breakthrough capability, but I just wanted to mention it as after every use, it may continue to wear down. Regardless, the plastic shovel I was using rarely cut well enough to even reach the road and when it did, it broke down the shovel way quicker than this aluminum shovel that is being sold here.So as you can see, my negatives were spun into positives because let's remember what we are buying here... A shovel you keep in your car. Don't expect this thing to change your life, but rest assured you have a fighting chance of getting unstuck in a snowstorm on your way home from work. That's all I needed to know before I ordered another.

Stays in the truck for winter and summer. Good for mud, snow and dirt (not hard packed dirt like a spade shovel) lightweight, and collapses nicely. Looks good and cleans well. Handy to have in northern Colorado.

I purchased a AAA Aluminum Sport Utility Shovel one year ago to keep in my car during the winter season in upstate NY. I was so impressed with the quality of that shovel and the reasonable price that I purchased a second shovel when we replaced our second family vehicle this month.Pros:-Aluminum construction with detachable handle makes for a lightweight, compact shovel that is perfect for the car trunk. Metal build is vastly superior to plastic when trying to clear mixed snow and ice, and wet snow.-Handle has two positions. Fully extended, the shovel is long enough to use for spot driveway clearing duty. In the compact position, the shovel is easy to handle around care tires and under a vehicle caught in a drift.-PERFECT FOR KIDS. I didn't anticipate this feature when I bought it for emergency use, but when my two year old wanted to shovel the driveway with daddy last winter, I gave him the AAA Sport Utility Shovel with the handle in the compact position and he loved it. It's sufficiently lightweight for a toddler to have some serious fun.-Value. This shovel offers great piece of mind and versatility for less than $20.Cons:-Absolutely none.Verdict:Lightweight, durable, perfect for emergency use and great for kids. I have one in both of our vehicles now, and I would highly recommend to anyone living in a predictably snowy region.

After purchasing two other shovels before and returning, I came across this one. Very easy to assemble it packs away in small spaces and very sturdy. You don’t get that flimsy feeling when using it like it’s gonna break in half.

Its been 10 years since I purchased this and I figure its time to write a review about it. I keep this in my under trunk storage in my trunk and it comes out during emergencies. I love the retracting mechanism because it provides a solid connection instead of using friction. Its light weight which makes all the difference when you have to actually use it. This shovel is a decent size and makes quick work out of any digging you need to do. Its dug me out of a few snow storm, emergencies, and my kids used it to dig sand at the beach. Its a bit banged up by now but still trucking along. The bright red/orange color is also great for using it as a signaling device.

The Lifeline 4017 Aluminum Sport Utility Shovel is a solid purchase with a 3-piece collapsible design, perfect for storing in your car. It’s durable and practical, but unfortunately, it was too small for my needs. Still a great option for those looking for a compact snow shovel!

Its nice light weight & fancy looking but also completely functional . Its tough enough to work like any ordinary shovel . Some thing that can be kept inside all 4x4 vehicles & people living in desert & snow fall areas.

This shovel is very well made and perfect for anything. I use it in my truck for a winter recovery kit with some other things and it's small enough I can fit in a crack or under a seat in my truck. Made out of stainless steel and has a sturdy feel to it. Have already used it to dig out several people this winter and fold it back up and put it in the back. Ideal for snowmobiling and any outdoor adventure for that matter. I ordered the yellow because that's the colour of my truck but the yellow is more of an orange.
