Why We Like The Evac 9 Shovel
Whether you need to move snow in a hurry or dig out a perfect pit, the Black Diamond Evac 9 Shovel will get the job done. We specifically like the hoe mode that helps us move snow quickly and efficiently, plus this model is just a little larger than the Evac 7 to help you dig pits quickly.

As advertised.
I needed a larger, strudy shovel for use in a car. This one works great.

Shovel
It’s a shovel and seems to shovel well. I shove it in my pack and shove off knowing I’m prepared.

Meets expectaions
The shovel is everything that I expected. It is well build and the ability to change how the shovel functions by changing the orientation of the handle add functionality. It is compact and well built.

Excellent design and build quality.
Excellent design and build quality. Assembles seamlessly in both a scoop and hoe configuration. Lightweight but sturdy. Handle extends to provide a reasonable amount of leverage for such a packable shovel. I have one in each vehicle in the winter and stuff them in my avy pack when headed out in the backcountry.

Industry’s BEST Shovel
This is truly the industry’s best shovel, hands down. Hands on?! As a professional avalanche instructor, we have validated this claim for YEARS. We won’t recommend anything else.

Professional Grade
I’ve broken my share of shovels (will not mention brands) but the BD Evac line is about as tough and ergonomic to use as they come. IMO it’s worth the extra $$ when you know you can rely on it.
