GERBERGear 05942 E-Tool, Spade No Sheath,Black

Made in Poland

Would love it if blade was somewhat sharp. It is dull and has a rounded off edge.

I bought this as a lightweight, compact emergency shovel to carry with me in my van. We use it for lightweight digging tasks while camping. So far it has held up well; we respect its limits. Haven't tried to cut a tree down with it; I carry a lightweight camp saw for that purpose.

I leave this product in my trunk when I'm not camping. It came in handy once when my car got stuck on some hardened snow. It took a while to get free because of the smaller size but its nice to know its there, especially considering it fits below the floor of my trunk inside my spare, out of the way and taking up no extra space. While camping it is great for digging small holes, making or clearing a firepit, driving stakes into the ground, etc etc. There are so many times this thing has come in handy. The construction is very good. High quality metal and plastics make a sturdy feel that I trust will last for years. Its a bit heavy for long hikes but I usually take it just in case.

Well made and substantial portable shovel for emergencies. Hope to never need to use it! Warning .. since it is made to be portable, it is not very big which is both a plus and a minus.

Purchased this e-tool for my camp set. So far it's done exactly what it's suppose to do. Really like the compact folding design, takes very little space for such a functional tool.

The only thing that could make this any better would be a bright sheath, but a can of Krylon will fix that.

Better than I thought
