The B-52 EXT is designed to make the tough jobs easier. Whether it is clearing
out heli pads, excavating a truck from a snowbank, or building a big jump, the
B-52 gets the job done fast. The 6061 aluminum BCA Bomber shovels feature an
oval shaft with a more packable, bombproof, Ãferrule-lessà blade, ergonomic
grip, and T6 heat treatment. Includes an end cap on the shaft, which prevents
snow from building up along the inside. The Bomber line boasts an off-the-
chart strength to weight ratio, while taking up minimal storage space in your
pack. Remember, the excavation process in an avalanche rescue is where the
most time can be lost or gained.
