fibreglass handle (all the yellow bits) with a steel/alloy threaded joint thats looks to go about 4" into the fibreglass either side of the joint.

If you realy lean on it, it does flex a little, but for normal camping & 4wheel driving I dont believe it's ever come close to failing. I've dug a lot of dunny holes with it.

I'm sure you could break it if you tried hard enough though.

I spent $26.00 at home Hardware in Mansfield.
Walked out with a wooden handled shovel/spade. And the receipt.
It fitted across the back of the cruiser just behind the rear seats.
It now lives in the front pole section of my Tvan. 
Sarah made a cover for the blade so it doesn't get ash mud and dirt over everything. 
(Tim's Sarah at Stratford.)  Sarah does nice work.

Of course, you could opt for the shovel of all shovels...Spear & Jackson No. 3 with reinforced brass handle. ;D

Don't take my word for it - see for yourself at about 19:15...

I got the bushranger one. Couldn't see much diffence TBH. It's solid enough to dig you out of anything your likley to get bogged in. As for digging in really hard dirt I don't know.

I really like the 4x4Equip unit, with the other attachments like axe head, maddock etc, but sheeez that's a lot of cash for a shovel.

The other consideration with the 4x4Equip shovel is that it is guaranteed to have the handle and blade in alignment when you screw it together.

Great that we have another fan or two here. Just about know every word to every episode. Such a shame they didn't make more.....
Favorite line: will sir be requiring the naughty books tonight?

 Better add something about shovels.... that 4x4 equip looks pretty good. Might have to get one myself.
