Folding Entrenching Survival Shovel Tool

Definitely compact, I would not even think of trying out the "ax head" feature and outside of weekend camping I would not rely on this as a survival tool. Camping great anything else as a last resort tool.

Anytime I order something I buy one of these. We use them in the woods and at home, even let the kids play in the sandbox with them. I wouldn't build a fox-hole with it, but I do use them to make Dakota fire pits.

6 camping trips of shoveling, hitting tent pegs in and chop small trees branch's and still good to go... Just be carefully to properly put the blades when storing and make sure you take it all out when cholling as they may dislodge.. But great for the price and did dig snow with it... It's meant for backpacking not digging a car out... Works well.

When I got this little shovel I was pleasantly surprised! I loved the fact that it was so little I could carry it around my waist. Worked GREAT on my garden. I will buying more to give away as Christmas gifts.

I was not sure about this tool. Looked at reviews others had written, sounded good so I ordered one. Shipped fast, When looking at this shovel and pic tool and using it fount to be very handy and compact, you can wear it on your belt with out noticing it. This is a great camping tool, exploring, hiking this would be a must to carry with me, again it's light and compact, you be glad you had it when you would need it, I pan for gold comes in really handy.

Good little shovel for my ATV.

Handy tool for my garden and for my emergency pack small but compact

It is much smaller! than entrenching tool, but just right for a bug out bag! This will work for drainage ditch around a tent, latrine quickie hole, etc...!!!! Good value.

I love it, it's a smaller version of my old military entrenching tool. I'm going to use it when I go treasure hunting. The carrying case is perfect for hunting and treasure hunting. It is really built sturdy, I'm happy with this purchase.

Thought this was going to be like an Army entrenching tool, however, it is but smaller! Just right for a bug out bag! If I want to dig a fox hole, I steal a real shovel! This will work for drainage ditch around a tent, latrine quickie hole, etc...!!!!

this is a very nice survival shovel. it works very well and it is very compact. I really didn't know how good the serrated edge worked until I used it to chop down a tree and it surprised me. The only problem is that the rubber grip comes off, but I will put some glue in it and it will be fixed.

Smaller than expected, but actually glad it is. This will be an easy fit for your BOB or belt. Wouldn't want to dig a big hole with it, but, if it's all you have, it could do the job. Tool and pouch very sturdy!

very handy small tool, can carry on your person or in the back of your vehicle, for emergency's

Great little shovels for light to medium chores like digging out weeds or making a small hole for a fence post or such. At the BOGO price it's a super value you can't pass up. They fold up so compact you can almost put them in your pocket. I would recommend to all for their convenience of use.

Bought two of these shovels, one for yard work and the other for my sons Boy Scout camping backpack. We are both very happy with the small size and big quality of these shovels. They have performed every task we have use them for. A great small shovel at a great price, don't miss out on this one ! ! !

This compact shovel is an awesome tool to keep in your bug out bag. You can also use it when metal detecting to scrape just the top surface of earth away. It folds away nicely and is very sturdy when put together. For the price, buy 2.

This one contact but overall user durable tool great for bushcraft,hiking,camping or survival.

The shovel works great! I use it for treasure detecting, fits the hammer loop on my pouch perfect, doesn'r get in the way like larger entrenching tools. Wouldn't want to dig fox holes with it though.

This shovel was purchased as a gift for me over a year ago. I recently had the opportunity to use it, and I must say, I was impressed. I had to dig four trenches (two at 12" deep by 6' long; two at 18"x10') to expose underground electrical wiring for a home inspection (Note: I disconnected the power at the breaker, and was very careful as this tool is all steel). I began the digging with a normal shovel, but used this shovel for most of the work; it saved me a lot of time. The weakest part of this shovel is the point where the threaded shafts screw into eachother; halfway through the job the threads bent here and the shovel handle became wobbly and unable to be tightened all the way. I solved this issue by cutting back some of the rubber grip on the upper shaft and welding the two shafts together, creating one solid handle. The shovel is a lot stronger now and can handle harder blows... very much worth sacrificing it's compactibility. I pushed the middle grip down to meet the grip at the end for a larger, more reasonably-sized grip; and then I wrapped the entire handle and shaft in electrical tape to provide some insulation from electricity (NOT a safety measure to he relied upon!). My final modification will be dipping the handle in some rubber-paint-stuff for tool handles to give it a smooth, clean-looking handle (instead of one wrapped in tape). This tool seems like it will last me a long time and I look forward to using it more. I can foresee the shovelhead becoming too loose after more use, and will probably end up welding that into place, as well. I take one star because the original design doesn't work well, but leave four because it's made of good materials and is strong when the handle becomes one piece. If I didn't have access to a welder, I would have given this 2/5 stars.

Purchased to include in my tools on 5th wheel camper. Shovel/pic is small but light and well made for emergency situations. If you want a military spade, buy one, this is not it!

Just right for inclusion in my emergency stuff in the car's trunk. As with all emergency 'stuff' one hopes to never actually use it! But I think it fits my needs.

smaller that i thought but great to have in your vehicle if you live in the snow area it could get you out of a problem

i loved the shovels with the pick just what i was looking for however the case strap broke as soon as put on belt

The shovel is everything it said it was, compact, versital, light. The only draw back is the size. I thought it would have an extension, so that the work load would be a little less. Other than that, it is a very good tool.

It is a little smaller than I expected but good strong quality.

Very small shovel, would be ok in garden, digging a small fire pit or picking up dog poop. But digging your vehicle out of snow or mud you will be digging for a long time. Does fold up and fits compact in it's own carrier, but not what I was expecting. Guess I should have paid attention to the specs.

good basic shovel great for digging fire pits and such small lite weight come in hardy when need one

An interesting tool that wears many hats. Looks good attached to a work belt or BugOutBag. Makes a fine addition to the trunk or tool rack in your vehicle. Not for heavy jobs but beats the stuffing out of using you bare hands or an empty tin can or other expedient things folks use in a pinch.

They are smaller then i thought the are more of a gardening shovel but they seem like they are built sturdy and come with a good sheath
