It was extremely lightweight and at first seemed like it was flimsy, but it was very sturdy and did the job great for a backpacking journey

I read several reviews on this particular cat hole shovel where they complained about the quality and sturdiness of the item. I went ahead and made the purchase and recently used it on an overnight hike in the Guadalupe Mountains out of Pine Springs. We hiked to Pine Top and then to Hunter's Peak. The small shovel did remarkably well for how light it is. At first, I thought it would be hard to handle given the size. I am 6'3" tall and have a large stature and had no problems using this tool for what it was designed to do. It dug through the topsoil just fine. Once I hit rock I carefully scraped around to find the edging and gently pried up to remove the small rocks to make a deeper hole. You won't be digging up a boulder or diggin a burial plot with this tool. I was impressed with the sturdiness and lightweight, which was important to me on the trail. It is my opinion you would not be disappointed with this item. It is very small and takes up little room, unlike a larger plastic shovel you see in the camping stores. The curvature of the tool fit nice around my spare water bottle where it was easy to reach. It also comes with a small biner to attach it to your pack or belt loop if needed. It is very small and light and could be easily forgotten while doing your business on the trail. Just keep it tethered to something or close by so you will not forget it.

Very light and very packable, but also very flimsy and sharp.Works fine in soft dirt, but is terrible if there's rocks around. If you have to dig into rocky soil, get a more heavy duty trowel with an actual handle. You do NOT want this thing! It will shred your hands and work you to death while barely accomplishing anything.

Let me start by saying that I was received my item with a nasty dent in it (pictured above). I was a little disappointed, but the shovel itself was incredible solid, which meant there was a good chance I was just unlucky.I messaged the company and let them know, and almost IMMEDIATELY received a response. They said they would send a replacement right away, and I didn't need to worry about sending back the original.Couple days later the new one arrived (also pictured), in perfect condition. It really is a very strong, lightweight shovel, so I don't foresee any issues with further denting. Whatever caused the dent in the original one must've been pretty powerful.ONLY CRITICISM! Like most people say, the handle edge is very sharp. We're going to tape it, but I do with they had done something to round the edges a bit so it was easier to grab.

It works in soft soil but it’s quite flimsy and will not properly dig in difficult soil.

I have now owned both the improved Deuce #3 and the U-Dig-It. Functionally, I noted no difference between the two of them in the Wind River Range and in the Bighorn Mountains; I used them each for over 360 miles. Neither is as sturdy as UST's parashovel, obviously, but the U-Dig-It is a far better value than the Deuce. Neither are really designed to saw through anything, but both are able to dig deep enough holes if you choose the right area. See the attached picture for a hole I dug in the side of a mountain just to see how well it would do if it needed to go deep.I noticed that some people complained about the edges feeling sharp. I personally didn't find this to be the case, but I let some older folks try it out and they were concerned, too. (Despite the fact that I'd used it for miles and had no issues.) If this is a concern for you, you can do what I did and just put a spot of friction tape around the edges. Or really any tape, I guess, but ultimately, I think that people just don't like feeling as if they don't have much grip, so friction tape is your go-to bet if you're a slippery-handed person.Hope this helps.

Overall a great shovel. Very light and easy to fit in places. It’s a tad flimsy when digging through harder ground but that is a small nit picky complaint. I’ll continue to use this.

In an effort to minimize my backpacking bathroom kit, I picked up this knock-off shovel for about half the cost of comparable name brand shovels. It works just as well, it's incredibly lightweight, fits in a quart ziplock bag with my portable bidet and hand sanitizer. For an item this simple and easy to serve its purpose there's no reason not to practice good Leave No Trace in the backcountry. Plus, the bright orange color makes it less likely to be lost.

Extremely light and feels sturdy. Not too large either. Similar products from major brands are up to $40-$50 which is insane so this is a great option

Muy ligera, eso es muy bueno para las excursiones. Resistente pero no para trabajo rudo. Lo suficiente para hacer pequeños hoyos para enterrar algo. El color naranja la hace más visible.
