I bought this specifically to keep in a compact car for Winter emergencies. Had the chance to use it and it worked exactly as desired.
Got the car stuck on a plow berm and had to dig it out. The shovel itself comes in its own little nylon bag and the whole thing is really light and compact (which is especially important in a smaller vehicle) .
Putting it together was easy. Just press the springloaded buttons and snap the pieces together (which I was able to easily do with gloves on).
Two of the main reasons I chose this collapsible shovel in particular:
1) it has a longer handle than most of the other options, which is a huge plus. Don't have to bend over as much, and it also allows me to easily reach/dig further under the car.
2) the collapsible USGI shovels have a fairly stronge hinge (but a much shorter length than this shovel), but as seen in Amazon reviews, the cheap Chinese made shovels have pretty fragile/unreliable folding hinges. This design doesn't have a folding hinge.
I used it to dig myself out, and the shovel worked great in the typical mix of compacted snow and ice in the berms/ridges that the city plows leave behind. Even chiseling through some of the more solid chunks didn't faze this shovel.
Once I dug my car out, taking it apart was just as easy. Although the black coating was scraped off the bottom front edge of the shovel blade, the shovel held up great.
It may not be the best choice for hardpacked dirt (a USGI shovel, or the Cold Steel Spetznaz or Trench shovels would be stronger, but as mentioned, those are much shorter), but as an emergency compact snow shovel, this thing is GREAT!

Not the best... yet
I was super excited to receive this collapsible shovel. It seemed sturdy and robust on first examination. But when I tried it out for the first time this morning on a few inches of snow it did not perform as expected at all. The main problem this shovel has is the head. As you can see in the pictures the front is all scraped up. The shovel doesn't work unless you are planning on using it on a perfectly smooth and level surface; which asphalt and concrete RARELY are. Every time you go to scoop the shovel is halted in its tracks by a piece of gravel or bump sticking up from the street/sidewalk. The head was expected to wear away a bit after use but what you see in the pictures is after 1 use. There is a point at the center of the shovel head which makes this problem even worse. The point ground off some as I used it but it still always got stuck in beginning or mid scoop. A shovel that can't glide over rough surfaces is absolutely useless to try to use on the street or sidewalk. It was like hitting a wall with every attempted scoop. It was so frustrating that I tried grinding away the part that kept getting stuck by rubbing it back and forth on the sidewalk. No matter how much I ground away the shovel would always get stuck against the rough surface. I have tons of professional experience with shovels of all kinds but this was the most useless of them all. The only way to counteract the shovel's ineffectiveness was to put excessive momentum into each scoop to force it past all the tiny obstructions. But this is an excellent way to exhaust yourself. Eventually after struggling for 20 minutes I lost it and bashed this POS against the ground and then against a telephone pole. The aluminum bent and broke quite easily as expected. Do not trust the other reviews unless they state that they actually tested the product. Upon first look the shovel seems like a good buy, but when tested the shovel's shortcomings are revealed.UPDATE: The maker of the shovel contacted me with an apology and requested my suggestions for improvements on the product. I have increased the product's rating to 3 stars for their excellent customer service. I gave my best suggestions to improve this shovel's design and I hope the maker can implement these features I have mentioned. I will review again when the new and improved version is complete and tested.

I've rated 4 stars for now because I haven't used the shovel to shovel any snow yet, but instead based it upon opening the package and just examining the product. I have also included some pictures of how I received it and threw a measuring tape next to the product so you guys can have a better idea of the size.
Everything looks good. It comes in a little black bag that you can throw in all the components of the shovel and store away. Once I took out the components and romved the plastic wraps that they were in everything looks good and sturdy. The handle is big enough to be able to hold and have a good grip on. The two extensions also look durable and sturday as well. The actually shovel piece itself I think is a good thickness. (Can see in picture) Now I'm not sure if this could be too thin to you guys or too thick, since I haven't purchased any other shovels similar to it and compare it, but to me it looks good. I've got this shovel over the other ones simply because it's longer than the other competitors. I usually see the other shovels extend up to 32" fully extended, but this one is 43" when fully extended which is great.
Overall I'm pretty happy with my purchase and shall see how it performs when the snow comes. Hopefully the pictures I took will help others who have an interest in this shovel.

Cofit Schneeschaufel - Die ideale Schaufel für winterliche Herausforderungen!

Die Stabilität der Aluminiumschaufel ist beeindruckend. Sie hält selbst großen Schneemengen stand, ohne zu verbiegen oder zu brechen. Dies ist besonders wichtig, wenn man vor der Aufgabe steht, große Mengen Schnee zu bewegen, wie es hier oft der Fall ist.
Was die Cofit Schneeschaufel jedoch wirklich herausragend macht, ist die Möglichkeit, sie zu zerlegen und in einem Extra-Beutel im Auto mitzuführen. Diese Funktion macht sie zu einem unverzichtbaren Begleiter für alle, die in Gebieten mit viel Schnee leben. So ist man jederzeit für unerwartete Schneefälle gerüstet, ohne Platz im Auto zu verschwenden.
Die Montage und Demontage der Schaufel ist einfach und schnell, was besonders praktisch ist, wenn man sie schnell griffbereit haben muss. Die Möglichkeit, die Länge des Griffs anzupassen, ermöglicht zudem eine bequeme Nutzung für Personen unterschiedlicher Körpergrößen.
Insgesamt kann ich die Cofit Schneeschaufel nur wärmstens empfehlen. Ihre Stabilität, Vielseitigkeit und praktische Funktion macht sie zu einem unverzichtbaren Werkzeug für jeden, der sich mit Schneemassen auseinandersetzen muss. Ein absolutes Muss für alle, die in schneereichen Regionen leben!
