{"product_id":"rothco-heavy-weight-steel-folding-pick-shovel","title":"Rothco Heavy Weight Steel Folding Pick and Shovel","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Rothco Heavy Weight Steel Folding Pick and Shovel is a compact, dual-function digging tool built from black carbon steel, aluminum alloy, and rubber for outdoor, camping, and survival use. The shovel head folds to a 90-degree angle for digging or prying, and the pick extends to 6.5 inches for breaking up hard material. The assembled tool measures 19.25 inches long and weighs 2.2 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt to Take Hard Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rothco Folding Pick and Shovel is constructed from black carbon steel with aluminum alloy components, a combination that keeps the tool rigid under load without adding unnecessary bulk. The blade and pick resist bending when driven into compacted soil, gravel, or ice, where lighter alloy-only tools tend to flex or deform. For buyers who need a digging tool that holds up across repeated field use, the all-metal build is the relevant spec.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo Tools, One Compact Package\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shovel head locks at a 90-degree angle, shifting the tool from a standard spade position into a hoe or mattock configuration suited for scraping, separating, or levering material rather than just scooping. The serrated edge along the shovel blade cuts through roots and dense soil without requiring a separate cutting tool. The 6.5-inch pick handles harder targets (ice, packed earth, rocky ground) where the flat blade is less effective. Both functions are available in a single 19.25-inch tool that folds for storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGrip and Portability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle is fitted with a no-slip rubber grip that maintains purchase in wet or muddy conditions, reducing hand fatigue during extended digging. At 2.2 pounds and 19.25 inches assembled, the Rothco Folding Pick and Shovel is sized to fit in a pack or clip to exterior MOLLE webbing without dominating load space. The folding design means the pick and blade tuck away safely during transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack carbon steel and aluminum alloy construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e rigid under load and resistant to bending during heavy digging tasks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e90-degree folding shovel head:\u003c\/strong\u003e adjusts from spade to hoe position for digging, scraping, or levering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6.5-inch folding pick:\u003c\/strong\u003e suited for breaking ice, packed earth, and other hard material.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSerrated shovel edge:\u003c\/strong\u003e cuts through roots and dense soil without a separate blade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo-slip rubber grip:\u003c\/strong\u003e maintains secure hold in wet or muddy conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaterials\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack carbon steel, aluminum alloy, rubber\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.2 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAssembled Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e19.25 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePick Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e6.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShovel Fold Angle\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e90 degrees\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRTC-51\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCalifornia Proposition 65 Warning:\u003c\/strong\u003e This product contains Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe Rothco Folding Pick and Shovel suits campers, hikers, and outdoor preparedness users who need a compact, dual-function digging tool that handles both loose soil and harder material like ice or packed earth.
