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.
