Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gerber 22-41578 Gorge Folding Shovel
Customer Review: Great Shovel...Wish I Had Found It Here First
Summary: 5 Stars
I came across this Gerber shovel in my Amazon recommendations recently. I own the very same model that I bought at the LL Bean store in Freeport, Maine 2 years ago. I was not as much of an Amazon shopper back then as I am today. But I wish now that I was. I paid $32 at LL Beans for this model, and that was 2 years ago. At the time I remember them not having much of a selection, but this shovel seemed very well made, rugged, and easy to use. I figured I could do a lot worse for the price. As it turns out, I could have done a lot better. Forgetting the shellacking I took on the price of this shovel, I highly recommend you not only buy this model if you are in the market for one, but I also suggest you forget the shopping around and just buy it here. This is probably the best quality folding shovel you will ever find for the price they are asking. Especially, if you buy it as part of a package deal and get the free shipping thrown in. If you are one that has ever visited hiking or outdoor gear stores than you know how expensive any survival type equipment can be. They have a fool proof way of drawing you into spending as many bucks as you can on whatever it is they are offering by hammering home the point that it's your life and family you are talking about here. The real truth is that a lot of people buy equipment that is far more expensive than they will ever have a reason to need, or even use at all. As anyone that is an avid outdoor enthusiast knows, a folding camp shovel has lots of uses along on a camping or hiking trip. Digging, prospecting, hammering, climbing, self defense, and even sometimes actual shoveling are all included on the list. Most folding shovels offered in retail outlets are not just expensive, but often time just too big. This one folds down very compactly, and can be easily toted along with little room taken, or inconvenience met. This Gerber model is in my opinion the perfect size and quality that most of us would ever have a reason to need along on a wilderness adventure. Its solid, very rugged, a snap to extend and compact, and after two years of owning it, it is still going strong for me with little show for the wear. I highly recommend the Gerber for your outdoor needs. It is in my opinion all the shovel you should ever need, at the best price you will find...

Ideal for a range of tasks, including light snow shoveling around tires or building trails while mountain biking, the Gorge is incredibly versatile. Besides its digging abilities, it's able to operate in hammer mode--an ideal option for pounding in tent stakes. It also makes a great addition to your home or car emergency kit.
Fold-Down Design for Space-Saving Portability
Because the Gorge folds down from 16.25 inches to just 9.25 inches, it won't take up too much space and is easily packable. At 28 ounces, it's small enough to toss in a bag or backpack without weighing you down. For added convenience, it comes with a nylon drawstring bag for storage and portability.
Fast Push-Button Slide Mechanism for Ease of Use
Made to be responsive and easy to use, the Gorge features a fast push-button slide mechanism, as well as an ergonomic, fiberglass-filled nylon handle with rubberized overgrip for a secure, comfortable hold. Its durable blade is crafted from carbon steel for extraordinary durability, no matter what the conditions. To extend its usability, this blade can also be sharpened.
About Gerber: A History of Innovation
Savvy. Moxie. Craftsmanship. Attention to detail. These are just a few of the company traits that have contributed to Gerber's emergence as a world leader in outdoor gear. Joseph Gerber started Portland, Oregon's Gerber Advertising back in 1910, and one Christmas, he hired a local knife-maker to craft 25 sets of kitchen cutlery as client gifts. The knives were so popular Mr. Gerber ultimately left his agency to launch Gerber Legendary Blades in 1939.
It makes sense, really. An idea man gets the idea of a lifetime and turns it into a major outdoor brand--one that commands respect among knife lovers and knife makers alike. And now that same high regard is spreading in new directions, in the form of many outstanding products such as tools, personal L.E.D. lighting, and more.
