Why We Like The Black Diamond Deploy Shovel
Shaving seconds off our response time, the Black Diamond Deploy Shovel is an invaluable tool in our avy kit. Once we've probe the burial site, we pull the handle from inside the blade, automatically locking it into place, and start moving snow. The T-handle gives us grip options so fatigue doesn't slow us down, and the blade cutouts let us fashion a secure emergency sled.

Great small shovel
I keep this shovel on my snowmobile while doing guided tours. Light, compact and great to have just in case.

Down with the Two-Part Shovel
Love this concept. Keep the pieces together for speed and efficiency. Not my mainstay for winter camping, but amazing for quick and light touring.

Love Single Tool
It's nice not having to store two parts. Fits perfect in M cirque 22 ski vest. Makes it quicker to remove / use with one or two less steps of grabbing / attaching a handle. Love it.

Very compact but strong. Taller
Very compact but strong. Taller people might find it a bit short but easy and fast to “deploy”

Fantastic!
I've had this shovel for around 3 years, and it works great. It packs down small, fits well in any bag, and is quick to put together. It's a bit small to use as anything but an avvy shovel, but it's fantastic for its intended purpose.

Compact and easy to use
Shovel was smaller than I expected but it’s nice for a small bag. Feels very durable and deploys very quickly

Cute
Should have paid attention to the dimensions, it does what it is supposed to do but feels tiny for a big g fella like me.

Good shovel
My only complaint is that it would be nice to have a longer handle.

Does the job
Light and relatively easy to lash to the outside of my pack. One callout is the short handle makes for more work (I'm 6'2") but this is an acceptable trade-off for the shovel's size and weight.
