Super Shovel

[bkb0000]

aside from the wire cutter, i really don't see how it's any better than the older school issued e-tools. i actually don't really want an edge of my e-tool to be capable of slicing my fingers off, personally.. so it doesn't get credit for that. the other gimmicks- bottle opener, hammer thing, really aren't selling points. which leaves it doing nothing an e-tool cant do.

the wood handle really needs to go, too. wood is obsolete for tools, i'm 'fraid.

Did you have some trouble with it?

Yeah I broke two of them and it was not as though I was digging out fighting holes on a daily basis.

I'd probably shell out around 20 bucks for one just to see what kind of beating it can take.

Hopefully not the same overall quality and materials as those made in china "wall hanger" swords.

Another Forum I frequent reported that the chinese super shovels retail for $122.00 each....I'll keep my E-Tool thank you.

At 122 bucks, it better dig the hole itself.

I will just get a Glock shovel, thank you.

Personally, I like it. But most of the things being done in the video are typical E-tool chores. The problem is these days, most folks have very poor E-tool Fu.

The weakness of any such system is the hinge joint. I would like to see some details on this area. Never the less, for $122 this thing is not doing much more than a USGI E-tool at 1/4th the cost.

By the way, for a GP tool, it is hard to beat the USGI E-Tool. The Glock E-Tool is possibly the most innovative but I can't speak to it's long term durability. As a weapon, the Cold Steel Spetznaz shovel is the best of the lot but it's lack of a hinge causes it to lose some utility.

I'm kinda partial to the old school Chinese shovel.
