A few years ago, DMOS broke onto the scene with the Alpha Snow Shovel, a full-sized, collapsible shovel all but guaranteed to tackle the roughest shoveling needs. After using one during a Chicago winter, we can confirm DMOS really does live up to their claim of making the baddest (ass) shovels in the world. They’re back on Kickstarter to raise money for their latest creation, the Delta Shovel. Billed as the ultimate offroad and survival tool, the Delta Shovel is a full-size, fully-collapsible and fail-proof tool that seamlessly blends the gap between the too large contractor shovel and the too small E-Tool. It’s made with a blade constructed from aircraft grade aluminum or steel that is flush-riveted to a steel bracket (capable of withstanding up to 1,000lbs of force) and joined to a telescoping handle capped with a nylon Zytel t-handle for maximum comfort and grip. Whether you’re using it as a shovel, a hoe or just carrying it in case you need one of those tools, the Delta Shovel–like the other DMOS shovels–is built to last and damn near indestructible.
