I didn't get a chance to use it yet, but it takes up very little space in my backpack. I wanted a metal scoop that didn't take up space. This fit the bill. Only thing I find as a negative is the cap to the storage in the handle is tricky to open.

Love this trowel, I roll up a mini-roll of backup TP in the handle. I've actually owned this for 10 years. I've been replacing my gear with lighter materials and it occurred to me that this could possibly be mad of titanium, the trowel is heavy (relatively) and it didn't make the cut in my latest weight assessment because it's not "essential" and weighs too much. I'd love to see a titanium version of this.

Way lighter than my old entrenching tool/poop shovel! Love the little storage space in the handle! Great design :)

I never got a chance to use my new Alloy Pocket Trowel. When I attempted to extend the handle, it fell apart. It’s so poorly made that I can’t fix it without it almost immediately falling apart again.

Have been using this for several years in the granite and volcanic soils of the Sierra and cascades. Makes quick work of scratching a cat hole. Lighter than a steel folding trowel and tougher than a plastic one. 5 star kit!

I bought this thinking the fold away design was an awesome way to reduce the size of my kit. And it is pretty neat. The hollow handle is pretty useless as nothing fits in there. But when it came time to do the number 2, the blade of this thing was useless. It's flat and dull, and wouldn't break the ground, let alone get through the tree roots and such. I do not recommend this trowel at all.

I've used the alloy pocket trowel for years. I have a medical condition that requires me to dig a cat hole at least 2 times per day in the back country. This tool makes fast work out of digging cat holes, even in very tough ground. The handle is very comfortable and the stuff bag keeps my other toiletries clean. The hollow handle allows me to store emergency toilet paper. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the locking pin doesn't work very well. It gets stuck and is hard to push. I fixed this by replacing it with a plastic version I got from a pool supply store for swimming pool poles. This may become a problem if it breaks in the future. I'd like to see a better locking system or improved materials from S2S.

Perfect shovel for your dirty business in the back-and-beyond. The handle slides in to make it more compact, and the hollow handle for TP is perfect. The buttons to open the storage space can be a little hard to push, though.

This is a great little tool. It is very light weight and very well made for what it is. Great Product. I would highly recommend this product to anyone.
