TheTentLab The DirtSaw Deuce #3 Trowel Green

Backpackers, hikers, and campers take note: the legendary Deuce of Spades(TM) backpacker's poop-hole trowel blazes ahead again! The latest upgrade is a doozy; we call it the DirtSaw(R). It’s a total rethink of how to use a small hand tool to make a hole in the ground. It’s shockingly faster and easier to dig a poop-hole in some really tough soils. It's scoop big enough to moving dirt quickly and its low weight and high toughness is kind of astounding. DirtSaw #3 - .97oz - 7.7x2.6 – big and strong, a real beast that excels at prying out rocks and moving a lot of dirt quickly. All Deuces are made of US high strength 7075-T6 aluminum that meets AMS4045. It's this AMS standard that assures you that these use HIGH STRENGTH aluminum. As a result, Deuces have excellent spring-back when you use them hard. The #1 is noticably flexible and springy; the #2 can be flexed but not much; the #3, being the thickest, is almost rigid. We put madeinUS as part of the color name to easily identify our US made products. The NEW Patent Pending DirtSaw Deuce urges you to rethink what a backpacking “Trowel” is and how to dig a hole. It agitates and cuts dirt like a serrated knife but doesn't snag on roots or threaten to cut your hand. Even better: DirtSaw teeth work best when they’re rounded with use. Next, use it this way to saw the outline of the top of the hole. Deeper in the hole, use it the same way to break up hard dirt and pry out rocks. Two deep notches on the front edge protect recessed teeth that you can sharpen (even with a nail file) to slice tenacious roots. One of the Deuce’s oldest features – its short handle – is a major enabler of the DirtSaw and other functions. The Deuce works well deep in your hole where longer tools succumb to ever-narrowing hole syndrome. The blunt front shape is efficient for pulling out loose dirt from deeper holes and makes a stronger tip for prying. Handle ripples add friction and surface area for greater hand comfort. The colorful anodized finish – pick a color that makes you happy - keeps it from corroding and smearing your hand with gray alumi-schmutz.
