    Extendable shovels

    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.

    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
