Featuring a redesigned extendable handle that’s stronger and more comfortable, and a high-volume blade profile, the UIAA certified Black Diamond Transfer Shovel helps you throw as much snow as possible from the smallest footprint. Its durable, smooth-bottom blade give you clean walls in your snow pit and the versatile design works well in any backcountry situation.

Our Verdict

The Transfer shovel is a strong and versatile shovel the helps clear a high volume of snow due to its high-volume blade.

The adjustable handle means that it is easier to clear snow standing up, or to work on your perfect snow hole while down on your knees. Despite it being lightweight it is a very durable and tough shovel that is a good addition to any winter adventure.
