Strengths:
Basically impossible to break or tear. I have seen spade blades run over by car without giving way and my own has dug so many pits in different materials that it starts to become larval. I have also used it for all sorts of things that spades usually are not intended to be used for, and it still toughens! Perhaps not so strange, it is one of the first ski trails made of T6 hardened aluminum. Nowadays, there are many other spades that are, however, so it is not as much of a unique advantage anymore.
It is digging really well.
Weaknesses:
It's heavy. The design is also old-fashioned with round shafts that can rotate when pulled out, which means somewhat higher demands on concentration / precision when assembling the spade. The attachment for the shaft "protrudes far" from the blade itself, which can make it tricky to pack well.
Summary:
This is an extremely hard shovel. A good choice for anyone who expects to use it a lot and does not mind dragging a little extra weight. For those who want to have a shovel that came with as an avalanche rescue instrument, there are now other alternatives that are better.
