Everything? Can it core a apple? :conf:

[willie pete]

a regular Ginzu shovel :D


they left out:
sled, fold the handle up 90° and sit on the blade
Badminton racquet
fingernail clipper
sextant
astrolab

[SilverMagnet]

This thing is probably more sophisticated than their new F35 JSF copy.

I've owned 'em all... and NOTHING, I mean NOTHING beats the east German military shovel... seen here:

http://www.greatadventure.ca/00cart/Candypress/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=261

It's the ULTIMATE entrenching, enemy-killing, coal-shovelling, ice-picking, weed whacking, latrine-digging, rock prying, dutch-ovening, everything-else-ing tool under the sun! BUY ONE... while they're still dirt cheap!

[Bullion_Bob]

Nice shovel.


Totally ridiculous music choice for the video.

i like the push pin lock on it, and looks pretty meaty, but it's 3.5 lbs...the OP one is about a pound lighter...for my portage pack or BOB, i'd go with the chinese one

imho

Of course no problem but it has to be a big apple.....

They where made for the army........not for us peasants.....

[Buddha]

nice shovel, half the shit you assholes buy is made in China one way or the other.

[TheNocturnalEgyptian]

Have a regular military camp shovel for camping, from where else? Army Surplus Store. Wood handle, metal blade, serrations on one edge.

But yeah, that Chinese shovel is cool as all get out. And notice how something from China actually costs a lot? When they manufacture something right, i.e. military use, they can do it, and they want that reflected in the cost.

Grappling hook...haha great use for a shovel.

[Olmstein]

How about a US made folding E-tool/shovel over at Ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280356923983#vi-content) for $23.

[freespirit]

i do try to buy domestic products as often as possible, but sometimes you may find a product like this that doesn't have a domestic equivalent. then if you don't want to settle for the best available domestic model, you kinda have to get it offshore...or make your own...lol

Yes... but the extra pound is where they put the "indestructability". Seriously. Buy one... you'll see why the extra weight is worth it's weight in silver! ;)

I didn't watch the whole video - did it also replace TP?

If so, Ponce's hoard just lost it's value!

;D

Yes but if you set the angle wrong it, um, "cores your apples" ... I'll stick with TP thanks!

[TheNocturnalEgyptian]

No kidding, did you see that guy grabbing the cutting edge as a fulcrum during the twisting and also during the wire snipping demo? Seems dangerous, that's my only complaint, to get the torque to do those two functions, you have to grab a cutting edge with your hand...otherwise it's a very impressive shovel.

[Libertarian_Guard]

Enough already.

Another 10 or 20 posts on the "Chinese Military Shovel" and another forum might pass it out as a title of mocking endearment.
