Extendable Mini Shovel 65cm to 95cm – Telescopic Steel Shovel for Camping, 4WD & Gardening

A Compact Shovel That Extends When You Need More Reach

This extendable mini shovel gives you a small, easy-to-store tool that stretches to a comfortable working length. The lightweight steel handle extends from 65cm (about 25 inches) to 95cm (about 37 inches), sitting neatly between a hand trowel and a full-size shovel. Collapsed, it fits in a car boot, camping kit or shed corner; extended, it lets you dig with less bending.

Why an In-Between Size Makes Sense

A hand trowel means kneeling or crouching for every job, while a full-length shovel is bulky to carry and awkward in tight spaces. A mid-size telescopic shovel handles the jobs in between: digging small holes, moving soil or sand, and working close to the ground where a long handle gets in the way. Set it short for tight spots or control, or extend it when you want more leverage and less strain on your back.

Made to Travel With You

Because it packs down small, this shovel is easy to keep wherever it might be needed. Throw it in the 4WD or ute for clearing sand or dirt from around tyres, take it camping for fire pits and campsite jobs, or keep it by the back door for quick garden work. The pointed blade helps it cut into firm ground, and the grip at the end of the handle gives you a secure hold.

Handy Jobs for Your Extendable Shovel

In the garden, use it for digging planting holes, turning soil in raised beds, spreading mulch and moving compost. At the campsite, it digs fire pits, trenches around tents and clears the ground. For 4WD and beach trips, it's useful for clearing sand from wheels and levelling uneven spots. It also works for digging bait at the beach, scooping out gutters and small clean-up jobs around the home.

Tips for Use and Care

Make sure the handle is fully extended and secure before putting weight on it. For hard or compacted ground, loosen the soil in small bites rather than forcing the blade. Rinse off dirt and sand after use, especially after salt water or beach trips, and let it dry fully before collapsing and storing. This is a compact tool made for light to medium digging; for large excavation or breaking heavy clay, a full-size shovel is the better choice.
