Compact shovel recommendations?

I park outside. Snow falls into truck bed. More snow falls. I drive truck with snow in truck bed. I pay more for gas to haul around useless snow in truck bed. I seek compact shovel I can store in truck to shovel snow out of truck bed. Please tell what to buy.

 

Suggest a full size shovel with a 4 foot handle.

 

1 positive is the weight of the snow

actually increases the ‘ 'friction coefficient

actually aiding in traction whether 4 or 2 wheel drive

many use several sand bags for the sdded weight

added snow is free

I haven't had any problems, but I also use full size shovels for any of the "larger" jobs.

I have only used these smaller ones for moving snow from under a tire when stuck.

 

Tonneau cover. Problem solved

 

please send money to fund my purchase

 

Thank you for wanting to shovel out your bed. On the interstate this morning, I dodged several sheets of packed snow that flew out of truck beds.

 

A cheap roll up one will work for what you want. You might even see a MPG increase so the money you save in your wasted gas hauling snow and maybe even in normal driving conditions could help be a return on the investment.

 

Santa just delivered... have not used. It will be a "just in case" and then when I snap it off at the end, I'll use it to scrap the snow/sand out of the way.
Seems to be sturdy enough to handle a scoop of snow. I would not use this all day for work.

If the OP is in serious snow country and needs to shovel often? I'd go the Lowes route for a $20 real shovel. But mine is cute...
