The Deuceof Spades(tm) Ultralight Backpacking Trowel is made in three models - each different in thickness, size and weight - but all are crazy-lightweight and made of extremely strong US-made aerospace grade 7075-T6 aluminum (strength that also allows tumbling and deburring, BTW). SIZE #1 - .45oz - 6.5"x2.4" - for EXTREME weight fanatics ONLY – those willing to work with the ins and outs of their gear to get the most out of it (be sure to see the directions in the photo section). SIZE #2 - .60oz - 6.8"x2.5" - The Backpacker's favorite version nicely straddles the line between weight fanaticism (.6 ounces - POINT six ounces!) and comfort. The original groundbreaking *ahem* trowel that was the first in the world that made for using upside down for probingand prying (see Advanced Techniques photo above). SIZE #3 - .97oz - 8"x2.6" - our full-sized trowel – bigger and stronger, a real beast that digs and prys easily, fast and comfortably - even in difficult rocky ground. Yet it weighs UNDER an ounce - a fraction of what other full sized trowels weigh. About our Manufacturing Please note that some Deuces are made in the US and some are made in Korea by DAC (the premier tent pole maker in the world). The quality and lifetime guarantee is exactly the same regardless of where your Deuce is manufactured. A quick glance at the photo or the color name will tell you where that exact model/color you've selected is manufactured.
