This could not be assembled as it came.
I would have returned this and pushed for one which was correctly manufactured, but I needed it for last weekend's camping trip and did not have enough time to go back and forth with it.
The painted welds on the attachments hang up on the collar of the handle (because they extend too far) making it impossible to lock the attachments into place (the holes in the attachments did not line up with the holes in the handle so the locking pin could not pass through and lock), but I have a metal file and was not afraid to use it.
Five minutes later I had removed the offending few milimeters of extra material and after that, I have no complaints.
It is not to heavy for me to use (190lb middle aged 5'10" male), the shovel and hoe ends NOW attach firmly and allow a decent reach. Handle seems to work well with the jack.
If you are not confident that you can make the same modifications I did, I cannot reccomend this product, it would not assemble without modification.
I would also hesitate to buy anything more complicated from this manufacturer, it seems that they are missing some testing and/or quality control from this product line which I expect might well extend into their other offerings.

I had to grind down the welds on the shovel attachment as other reviewers have stated. Nothing major and the Dremel knocked it out in short order. The hoe attachment went on without issue. The real issue is that the shovel is basically flat and the business end has no edge so that has to be ground down much more than the weld. Once you do that you have to repaint it so it doesn't rust. Basically a cool idea but poorly designed. I don't know if the Hi-lift version is better but it has a premium price!

Great set of tools to throw in the back of your truck, SUV or car. I like the idea of keeping tools in the car that will help me get out of the snow. Happy to say I did not need to use the shovel at all while driving this winter, but will keep it in the car in case we run into some bad off-roading conditions.
Tools feel quite sturdy, I wouldn't worry about them just snapping while you're using them.
