Works well and that's held up to some abuse.Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

I Did a review on this shovel just over a year ago, nothing has changed really from what I said last, although, after awhile the head of the shovel becomes wobbly. Not enough to effect anything. But still, Most of the paint has come off around well used areas and its a little dinged up, but its done its job and has exceeded my expectationsWould you recommend this to a friend? Yes

The shipping on this item was surprisingly fast, received it within 48 hours of order. The quality is excelent, you can tell by the weight and feel that they used high quality steel. The 16" overall size is from the tip of the shovel head to the end of the handle when fully assembled, but this is more of a trowel than an entrenching shovel. The "shovel" head is 5" long and 3 3/4" wide, Pick is 4 1/4" long and 1" wide. Overall i would suggest this for camping because of it's small pack-up size, but don't try to dig any big holes with it.Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

good quality, solid tool, perfect for the S.H.T.F. kit, quite small, compact enough for the lightest of bug out bags, good value for money

Yes, it's a little small, but I tend to pack light when I go camping and in the case this takes up about as much space as two packs of cigarettes. I figured I would get about two holes out of it before it broke in 4 pieces, and wouldn't be to heartbroken, considering the price. This thing has stood up to some abuse though. I must have dug 20 some odd holes with it, between single use latrine pits, 3'+ fire pits, setting posts for temporary shelters and then beat it against rocks to get the dirt off, moved hot coals into the cooking area of the fire, etc and it's still going strong. Yea, you're not going to want to do any major digging with it but it sure beats dulling my hatchet doing all the jobs this little shovel does now. I'm pretty happy with it.

I have bought this exact shovel from Amazon.com and its decent. Smaller then I have expected though. Its very compact and great for digging. The saw is also great. It is sharp and will get the job done. This shovel functions as a saw,hoe,dibble,pick,spear,hammer,and obviously a shovel. Great buy!

Overall this shovel seems well made and convenient. I got a small Ziplock bag so I can store some magnesium and matches in the handle for fire starting, I'm probably going to buy a pen torch and see if it fits inside as well.

Very good shovel I got it as a gift and it is awesome! The ice pick (first thought to just be a marketing tool) is also very good. Took me 5 minutes to take out a block of ice.
