Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Black Diamond Transfer 3 Shovel combines a small size, low weight, and idiot-proof design for demanding backcountry fanatics. What sets the Transfer 3 apart from other avalanche shovels is its trapezoidal shaft. This Black Diamond shovel's shape ensures no rotation during setup, so it goes together fast and easy. In addition, the low 1lb 7oz weight puts a smile on the faces of alpine climbers and backcountry skiers alike."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"Optimizing extended shaft length for increased comfort and efficiency, the Black Diamond Transfer Shovels are ideal for backcountry travelers who dig pits regularly for snowpack analysis. The removable, trapezoidal shafts extend to 84 cm (33 in) on the Transfer 3 . Our unique hybrid D and T handle is friendly to both mitts and gloves. The lightweight aluminum blades move massive amounts of snow and generate clean cuts for efficient snowpit construction (pictured with the larger Transfer 7 for comparison). Transfer 3 features: Weight : 650 g, 1 lb 7 oz Blade Volume : 1.14 L, 0.3 gal"

From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Black Diamond Transfer Snow Shovel (Fall 2009) The Transfer Snow Shovel by Black Diamond takes a more traditional design approach, optingfor maximum extendable shaft length. But the tradition stops there. The uniquetrapezoidal shafts cannot rotate, allowing for simple spring-pin engagement, andcreate a very lightweight and stiff reach for large rescues or digging deep pits. Theultra-strong aluminum blade is engineered for maximum snow removal with thesmallest footprint of space and digs smooth, clean walls for pit analysis. Its handlefeels like a D-grip but packs like a T-grip-small but glove- and mitt-friendly in oneelegant design while allowing for all the leverage you need.Transfer 7: Weight: 770 g (1 lb 11 oz) Blade Volume: 0.7 gal Total Length (Extended): 86 cm (33.9 in) Total Length (Collapsed): 69 cm (27.2 in)Transfer 3:Weight: 650 g (1 lb 7 oz) Blade Volume: 0.3 gal Total Length (Extended): 83 cm (32.7 in) Total Length (Collapsed): 66 cm (26.0 in)"

From REI:
"Providing maximum snow-moving power with rapid deployment, the Black Diamond® Transfer shovel has a stiff reach for deep pits. Unique patent-pending trapezoidal bent shaft offers maximum extension through two-piece shaft design, enhancing both reach and strength. Shaft deploys quickly via a quick squeeze of spring pins; shaft shape prevents rotation for positive engagement of spring pins every time. Ergonomic T-grip handle feels like a D-grip but packs small and is glove- and mitten-friendly. Sturdy anodized 6000-series aluminum blade in a smooth and flat shape carves quickly through snow during recovery and cuts clean during pit analysis. Pointed blade enables more effective chopping and flat sides help in smoothing pit walls; anchor holes through blade allow use as a dead man anchor."
