The Deuce #2 UL trowel from TheTentLab is a revolutionary ultralight backcountry latrine trowel that can be used with the handle up or, for 4 times the digging power, handle down.

The Deuce #2 is an updated version of our ground-breaking *ahem* backpacker's trowel, The Deuce of Spades™ that many thousands of customers have enjoyed. We made three improvements:

1) Four small teeth on the leading edge of the blade to cut through small roots as you run into them at the bottom of your hole. Just the right number and size to do the job but not to interfere with digging. The teeth are also shaped to be field maintainable; you can sharpen them with a rock very easily (fine-grained river rock broken in half seems best).

2) The handle has small undulations to improve grip.

3) New directions (below). We're convinced that if you know how to use The Deuce® well, you'll be a very happy customer. If you don't see the instructions, odds are you'll like The Deuce but maybe not love it. Like a lot of backpacking gear, The Deuce® rewards those who take the time to learn its ins and outs. Take a look below. It's probably something you hadn't thought of before.

Features:

  • Regularly using this trowel requires using "Advanced Techniques"; see User Manual on this page for details and instructions
  • 4 teeth on the leading edge of the blade are shaped and placed for cutting roots up to 0.5 in. thick as you run into them in your cat hole; teeth don't obstruct normal digging
  • Finger-grip contours on the handle ensure a secure grip
  • Thin edge of aerospace-grade aluminum cuts through small roots and tough ground
  • Weighs just 17 grams (0.6 o.z), which is the weight of 3 U.S. quarters
  • Minimalist, incognito design
  • Also makes a great sand stake, shoe horn; bear-canister screw tool, bottle opener or sandcastle sculpter
  • 100% recyclable; just drop it into any aluminum recycle bin

Specs:

  • Dimensions: 6.8 x 2.5 x 0.8 inches
