Chinese Soldier Shovel Multi-Tool
 
Chinese Soldier Shovel Multi-Tool

I'm pretty ignorant about stuff like this.

What's your take?

Kyobanim 05-10-2010 09:03

But wait! There's More!

Make julian fries!

The only thing missing is Billy Mays, some Mighty Putty in the handle and if you call in the next 10 minutes we'll double your order! That's right! You'll get 2 Amazing Shovels for the incredible price of only $19.95 each!

All joking aside, it looks somewhat like my Viet Nam era shovel which is quite handy.

It's a shovel.

Maybe some people haven't seen these before.

Pretty ignorant of how a shovel works?

I want my 8min 46secs back :rolleyes:

Everyone on my Christmas list is getting two of these.

I especially liked how it sets up tents. That will save me so much time that I can use to just sit at camp while it does all the work.

Underground Combat: Stereophonic Blasting,Tunnel Rats and the Soviet-Afghan War
Foreign Military Studies Office, Fort Leavenworth, KS.

The search group was armed with knifes, entrenching tools, hand grenades, pistols, and assault rifles. { Note: The entrenching tool was a weapon of choice for Soviet soldiers in hand-to-hand combat. Elite forces normally kept a razor-sharp edge on their entrenching tools. }

Why are Chinese soldiers eating Spam and drinking champagne to the tunes from a spaghetti Western?

Pick or Hoe?
 
Pick or Hoe?

But really it's pretty much the same as our last model Wood Handle E-Tool - except ours did have the pick.

The sharp edge? Could put an adge on ours if you wanted to - don't know why - I'd just use my K-BAR or multi tool for anything fancy.

Of course we now have the black piece of crap.

Hey SGM... we keep those black pieces of crap in each vehicle... they work very well against Zombies, and even those too stupid to die...:eek:

Carry a heavy ruck all day then use a short handled e-tool to dig a foxhole for NDP; and people wonder why infantrymen wind up with bad backs.

I would have hated to be the grappling hook tester and it looked like it would have taken forever to open that can of ham. It made a pretty neat shield though.

I prefer a loaded gun, and don't care if people see that as somehow unfair.
