is it strong for digging in rocks ? what is it made from ? is the handle strong ? how would it be in salt water ?

Plenty strong with steel handle that breaks down into two pieces for easy transport in a small trunk. Just be sure to rinse off in fresh water.

It's rock solide no pun intended. I have used it in salt walter and the handle is two pieces and see no problem with strength issues. Good luck clamming!

It is very strong and lightweight. Seems to be made from stainless steel and aluminum but I don't know for sure. We use it in rocks and mud. I think it would be fine in salt water, maybe rinse it off after with fresh water.

this rake is very strong the handle is made from steel and very strong you should have no trouble this rake

It is metal; however, it is great for digging through the sand for clams and in some rocks. It has been a strong piece to use, especially in salt water, which is where I use it.

It is pretty rugged and the handle is too. I use it in salt water and rinse it good after every use. All metal construction. It is a clam rake not a rock rake but I'm sure it would work for u.

We use ours in fresh water, so dont know hpw it would last in salt water. If they would get the on&off; coupler that goes with it to take out of water when not in use it will be fine. Its simple& fast to use. The ladder is great!

Not sure how it compares, but I used my shovel to dig out roots from a yard in addition to taking it camping and it held up very well. I'm happy with it, even if it is considered slightly larger than normal for a camping shovel. Just make sure you tighten the threaded collar correctly which stiffens the pan and handle connection. There was a complaint here that said the shovel was loose. They didn't tighten it correctly.

I've used this for a couple of months. I can't say how it will hold up in a salty environment, though. You'd probably need to it lubed with something. Also, it doesn't have inserts like the Kreg jigs so when they wear out, you need to replace the entire jig.

Yes, it's fine for the beach but less effective in salt water than an "inductive pulse" type detector, such as the Garrett Infinium LS, or Sea Hunter models which features a "salt elimination" setting that eliminates the mineralization of salt water. Inductive pulse machines are best for heavily mineralized soil and salt water conditions, but the cost is about double that of the AT Pro. I plan to buy an inductive pulse machine next, when I can afford it. A must have for surf hunting.

Made from a material tough as steel, and more flexible than steel. I move heavy fine sand, about 90 lb. per 5 gallon, picks it up and handles it with ease.

I think you could use the shovel to move sand at the beach, but I would not use it for mud unless that is part of your emergency.

I wouldn't recommend it, It's meant for medium rock salt, it has little holes on the bottom to take in the air when you use it, So I think with the fine salt it would then be a salt shaker instead of what it's intended for.It comes with a small bag of rock salt. use about half of it. it lasts for a few months...

I've never used it in water, but on land it does awesome. Once you learn how to use it, you will be able to have a good idea what the item is before you dig. Just like with all metal detectors, the bottle caps/ tabs will fall into the coin range. I use the 5x8 DD coil in trashy areas and the stock coil every where else. My son has the Ace 250; it's a good metal detector, but the AT Pro is much superior. There is a learning curve, so be patient and you will love this detector. Start watching videos on YouTube. Nugget Noggin uses the AT Pro and he has a lot of videos.

Not for saltwater use, you can use it but you got to clean it thoroughly. The inshore Abu's the less expensive ones are called the Orra's. The Orra so are not that much but made for saltwater ,hope this helps.

You can use it in salt water and on the beach, BUT it does not react well. The detector picks up the mineralization from the salt, and you will hear a constant chatter. If you are only going to be detecting beaches, I suggest looking for a beach detector.

I keep rock salt outside my backdoor in the winter when it snows and gets icy. I live in NJ. It is very compact and sturdy, and not clumsy. Just fill it up and save the rest in the bag.

It feels like the thick metal goes all the way up through the handle. It's really solid. The point in the tip probably helps dig in there too.

Hi Molly - we've used ours in brackish water (head of the river - partly salty) and the kayak material is SUPER sturdy. If your question is less about the material holding up in salt water and more about being able to control the kayak in open seas, I can say that it is a very stable kayak (we kayak with our little dog - no problems and no rocking) but it is not as fast as a hard-sided kayak. That being said, we've never had a problem navigating in fast moving water over rocks and tree trunks. We've use the kayak hard and bought a second one based on being happy with its performance and wanting to kayak with our kids. Hope this helps! PS Definitely get the package with the upgraded seats (they inflate and are really comfortable - well worth the price!).

Have not had I need at ball games and action events.it in any water yet. I would also like to know if it can hold up to salt water. Works great out of water and gets the angle and height I need for ball games and action events. Good quality and made very stable and appears like it would be fine in the water if the metal is aluminum or stainless steel, but nothing in the provided paper work states that. Hope this helps a bit.

The SUREswivel is made from a glass filled nylon that can withstand cold weather with no problem. If the ground is very wet you will want to take that into consideration and make sure to check the stakes periodically to ensure that they are driven all the way in and maintaining their hold.
