Extendable shovels

[AndyG]

I am endeavor ring to avoid a roofrack for as long as possible, so have been looking at an extendable shovel that will fit in the back of a 110.

This looks the goods at 125cm extended
Steel Extendable D-handle Ergo Garden Spade (41"

And of good quality, thoughts?

They have their energiser batteries plugged in !

I looked at that style but thought the handle was too short to reach under the 110, 125cm will just do it i thiink

Haha yeah its a pretty amusing video. Maybe you could get a bit of steel/alu pipe to slide over the wooden handle to make it extendible? Just have to think of a way to lock it in, maybe using some sort of dowel or pin.

What about one of those 3 piece shovels that come in a bag?

That yellow one looks pretty choice! Be good if it came in a canvas bag or something

Looks like TJM has both brands, so will go in for a touchy feely, and it looks like they will fit crosswise in the drawer which is a bonus
