XINCHENYU Military Folding Shovel [76 cm Length] with MOLLE Pouch - Tactical Multitool Shovel Kit for Camping, Hiking, Backpacking, Fishing, Trench Entrenching Tool etc

I like to go camping and a lot of it has been on a motorbike lately so I'm trying to keep things small but useful.I've had a couple of occassions now where I'd have liked to have been able to dig a small hole so in preperation for my next trip I bought this Shovel.Why this one??? It has an axe and a knife. I mean, yes I wanted a shovel but if my shovel also happens to have sharp and pointy bits then why wouldn't you go for it!The shovel comes in two bags,One bag with the head and attached bottom section of pole. The bag covers the head only.The 2nd bag houses the next two poles containing all of accessories (including the knife).The pole of the 1st bag then rests in the gap between the 2 poles in the second bag.It would have been nice to have all of the pieces going into a single bag rather than having 2 bags to worry about loosing.The shovel appears to be well constructed and the pieces fit together nicely, becoming tight against the washers as you near the end of the screwing process.The features of the shovel are exactly as described in the listing so I won't go throug them all however I will say that the bits which are meant to be sharp are indeed sharp and in the wrong hands, this shovel could do some serious damage.I'm going to be well equipped when the zombies come knocking.

I’m ex military and this is nothing more that a piece of tat. I do a reasonable amount of wild camping and adventure motor cycling with my 12 year old boy. From the wilds of the UK to Iceland, to West Africa. If you are serious about backpacking, adventure, wild camping etc... don’t buy this. It slips, locks into position and is a royal pain in the arse to work with. However, I’d rather have this than nothing if I got stuck some place. It does have its uses. I managed to dig a reasonable fire pit, chop up some logs for burning, fashion some steps on a chalky hill side. Pry off limpets from rocks and I’ve also used it in the garden to loosen up some soil and make a small trench. So, on that basis I guess it’s okay at best. However if you want something more robust I’d look at something else. Would I recommend it... not really, there is better on the market. But, it’s okay for the price and will get you out of fix... it’s just annoying as hell as it won’t stay fixed or the screw that secures the shovel head becomes too tight and is pain to loosen off.

I am so impressed by this shovel. There is so many cool things it can do.I can't wait to try everything it can do out. I have already used the axe and the saw. They worked great.The build quality is very good. The pipe is sturdy.

I love gimmicky stuff like this. So you mean to tell me that this shovel is not only a shovel, but a knife, bottle opener, whistle, ect? It does a lot! It also came in a cool little camo bag safe storage. I bought this for my upcoming camping trip, but you best believe I tested this out already. Everything works well. The knife is sharp and the saw part did its job well with wood. Opened a bottle up with no problem. Just word of caution, when putting this away be careful that the knife part of it doesnt slice you. Yup it's that sharp. I'm pretty excited to actually use this on my camping trip. If you need a shovel for camping that's light and easy to assemble. I would go for this one for sure!

During lockdown I decided to do some gardening, and to re-shape my garden into a terraced one. So armed with this tiny shovel I went. It's brilliant! It's not as sturdy feeling as you would expect a shovel to be, but it has withstood every challenge from chipping down trees, to cutting branches to destroying rocks. It is simply amazing can't recommend enough!

Haven't used the shovel yet but putting it together it feels solid, and doesn't feel like it would fall apart.Bought for throwing in the boot when camping.The shovel blade looks and feels like it could take some abuse and has saw, axe, bottle opener and spanner features. Can be locked in the shovel or maybe the 90% pick position.AccessoriesThe knife section is quite sharp so be careful - it is also housed at the base in plastic so not sure how strong this will be. Think it would be good enough for light work cutting cord etc....The fire striker looks fine again not used.Screwdriver again housed in plastic so don't do anything too tight.ice / window breaker - looks like it would work. - removal of this might allow you to use as a camera stand - untested.

returned this as felt it was not as sturdy or well built as what I was after. Didn’t like that the knife blade was held by what looked like low quality plastic. Returned with no issues so that a positive.

Very small compact what I expected, seems to be very strong but only used it once, its ideal for carrying in car for emergency, camping or survival ideal, ideal for chopping sawing, fishing, skinning, digging, what it's supposed to do, worth the money
