It will work, but it has trouble locking into place.

This shovel is fantastic. I personally am using it for my B.O.B. in a survival kit. I am an Eagle Scout, and have used MANY of these in my day and time, so I feel as if I am qualified to write this having used an array of similar products. The reviews on this were really good, so I decided to try this instead of spending more money on a different one. I am very pleased I did. Now that being said.... if you are digging a six foot grave, or trying to expand a ditch between you and your neighbor's drive way, this is NOT the shovel for you. But if you want a RELIABLE piece of emergency equipment to have in you car, or you survival bag, then look no further; this IS INDEED the shovel for you. The little pouch to keep it in is a nice touch too.

Would be great for snow or sand, not so much for back packing. I bought this shovel for a backpacking trip, and it bend within 2 minutes of digging a fire pit.

I haven't had to use it thankfully but it seems pretty sturdy and very compact. I have it in my 3-day emergency backpack that I carry in my vehicle if I ever need it. I bought one for my husband as well, hopefully we won't have to use it. It has a serrated side which can be used to chop a branch or something, shoveling snow, and you can definitely use for taking out zombies in an apocalypse ;)

Excellent shovel to keep in the car! Great for those trips where unexpected snow comes down overnight and you get stuck with nothing to dig your car out with! Very solidly made yet easy to carry! Very pleased with this purchase!

awesome for sand play and easy to pack
