The Dozer 2H is a two-in-one shovel featuring hoe mode. Assemble it in classic shovel form, or quickly flip it into hoe mode-a favorite for digging out snowmobiles, creating a platform for a kickturn on a skin track, or fast and efficient snow removal in soft snow. Complete with a low-profile stompable blade, cored out handle, and ovo-concave shaft. Our ovo-concave shovel shaft is the first of its kind, designed to prevent breakage while prying. Inspired by our legendary D-2 EXT "Dozer" shovel, we&';ve taken our groundbreaking oval design and added a concave radius on both sides to make it even stronger, without adding weight. Like a high-end lacrosse stick, this shape also enables better grip in the palm, reducing slippage while shoveling. All BCA extendable models are designed to meet the UIAA standard for avalanche rescue shovels.
