Why We Like The Evac 9 Shovel
Whether you need to move snow in a hurry or dig out a perfect pit, the Black Diamond Evac 9 Shovel will get the job done. We specifically like the hoe mode that helps us move snow quickly and efficiently, plus this model is just a little larger than the Evac 7 to help you dig pits quickly.
Details
A multi-function tool that's vital for backcountry safety. The aluminum blade and shaft provide reliable durability. The telescoping handle adjusts the length quickly for convenience. The dual-density grip won't slip while you're working. It also converts into hoe mode for quick digging on steep slopes. The flat-bottom profile is ideal for digging square snow pits.
