The title, read in order

ORIENTOOLS Lawinenschaufel — avalanche shovel. Alu-Schneeschaufel-Werkzeug für schwere Aufgaben — heavy-duty aluminium snow shovel. Universalschaufel für das Auto — universal shovel for the car.

Three descriptions of two different tools, in one line.

What it publishes, which is more than most here

  • Blade 28 × 22 cm (the title says 9 inches)
  • Shaft 66 cm or 82 cm (the title says 26 to 32 inches)
  • Polypropylene rated to −30 °C and 35 kg
  • Three parts, for a rucksack or a car

Four figures. Only the MFH on this shelf publishes as many.

And the last bullet

Ideales Zubehör für Ihr Auto, LKW, SUV, Freizeitfahrzeug, Schneemobil usw.

Car, truck, SUV, recreational vehicle, snowmobile.

The family page above says the difference between the two products is not marketing. This listing is the case it was written for.

The price

None. All six stores list the reference and none of them quoted a price when this page was written.

Availability

Six shops asked, six came back empty: nobody was selling it when this shelf was read.

On the shelf, off the market: the German, American, British, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon shops carry the reference with no seller attached to it.

Figures pulled from Keepa the day this page was last revised. Stock and prices move without notice.
