Does anyone use one of these or similar?

Would you recommend them?

Am trying to decide whether to make do with a short handled shovel I already have, or get one of this type.

I like the idea of a long handled shovel which dismantles, but both have wide mouths, probably not that good for digging a hole for a dump in much of Australia's hard ground. I note also the warning on the bushranger one against using it as a lever - using a shovel to assist in putting on the spare wheel is something I am keen to be able to do to save my back (& something the short handled one I have does perfectly).

What is your preference in an all round shovel to do service in hole digging, recoveries, fire duty, weight saving & space saving - for touring duty?
