Proper snow shovel, not a copy of a foldin military shovel, which is only useful for beating seals to death.
Great for clearing up if you have forgotten your winter tyres and are wearing the wrong pants I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

For those that are snowed in and can't get to Maplin...
Yeah, folding is every do slightly misleading, but easier to type than " it's got three sections that clip together with those little sprung buttons you know the ones......"I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

The little folding shovel looks a bit of a bargain at £5
Crap for clearing snow but perfect for digging a hole in the woods for " natural" purposesI know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

very true.
although it may help break up some ice.. also thought it's the sort you could just leave in the LR boot for those moments where one would prove handy.'05 D3 HSE, Logic 7, fridge, 4x4info, and more to come!
Club GG AT,
Club Mantec,
Club GNVP sliders.
Which is the point of a collapsible/folding one. Hell, if it had a full size blade you'd want a suitcase for it I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
I bet by next year you can't find all the bits - wished you'd bought a folding one Discovery 3 HSE - sold
Defender 90 TD5 Station Wagon - sold
Mini Cooper Clubman
Discovery 4 XS

I got one of these.....
Splits into two with removing the 'bucket' part so easily fits in the back of the D3. Has a metal edge to help cut through harder stuff.
