TRUE TEMPER 18" Poly Folding Snow Shovel — Collapsible Compact Car & Camping Shovel with Steel Wearstrip

Whether you need a compact emergency shovel for your vehicle, a lightweight tool for winter camping, or a space-saving option for apartment storage, this folding snow shovel balances portability and performance. Its 18-inch poly head is sized to move fluffy snow quickly, while the metal wearstrip protects the blade edge. The handle folds down for stowing in tight spaces and assembles with a quick-connect system so it’s ready when you need it.

How does the folding design save space and make transport easier?

The handle breaks down and tucks inside itself so the shovel fits into tight compartments, trunks, or gear bags. A D-grip attachment option adjusts handle length between about 37 and 41 inches for comfortable use or compact storage.

• Folds flat to reduce length for trunk or gear storage
• Quick-connect assembly removes hassle on the roadside
• Adjustable handle length with D-grip for ergonomic reach

Is the blade durable enough for regular winter use?

The blade is molded from durable poly material that resists cracking in cold conditions, and a stainless-steel wearstrip reinforces the leading edge where contact and abrasion are heaviest. That combination extends service life compared with thin plastic-only blades.

• 18" poly head resists impact and cold-weather brittleness
• Steel wearstrip protects the blade edge from wear
• Large head gathers and pushes fluffy snow efficiently

What kinds of situations is this shovel best suited for?

This shovel excels at clearing loose, fluffy snow and is sized and shaped for pushing rather than heavy digging. It’s ideal as an emergency car shovel, a compact option for backpacking or winter camping, and a convenient tool for small driveways or walkways.

• Emergency roadside use for cars and SUVs
• Backpacking and camping where weight and packability matter
• Light-duty clearing of porches, steps, and small driveways

How easy is it to assemble and maintain?

True Temper designed a quick-connect fastening system so joints snap together or apart with minimal effort; no special tools are required. Maintain the shovel by wiping the blade clean after use and checking the wearstrip for excessive abrasion seasonally.

• Tool-free quick-connect for fast assembly and disassembly
• Simple wipe-down cleaning extends blade life
• Inspect wearstrip occasionally and tighten connections as needed

Who this is for: The True Temper 18" Poly Folding Snow Shovel is a practical choice for drivers, campers, hikers, and anyone living in smaller spaces who wants a reliable, portable option for light- to medium-duty snow clearing. If you need a compact tool that packs easily into a trunk or pack, offers a broad 18" blade for moving loose snow, and includes a reinforced edge for longer wear, this folding shovel fits those needs without taking up much room.
