Tyger Auto Tyger Shovel TG-SV8U3217 Military Heavyduty Folding Compact Tool with 16-in-1 Multifunction for Off-Roading, Camping, Outdoor, Survivalist and Emergency

Have not used it but looks good and feels sturdy.

In this computer-driven age where one can nearly do what one wishes as long as it involves a computer, such also means Computer Numerical Control (CNC) employs computer coding for the purpose of constructing devices about which people could only dream about a half-century ago. That means Tyger's TG-SV8U3217 Military grade shovel is made to fit in a sturdy pack roughly the size of the shovel blade fitting within and contains much, much more than just a shovel. Anyone interested in Tyger's shovel can find it here on Amazon and, if the prospective purchaser's timimg is good, at a price that's less than $100, even though the product is worth that and more. Lightweight but sturdier than such weight might suggest, this user couldn't help but notice and appreciate the tight tolerances under which this product was constructed. The multiple sections - each having a specialized purpose different than that of any and all of every other part - fit together like fingers sliding into a well-made and well-fitted glove. From fire-starting to felling trees, the user of this Tyger shovel need not have a desparate need to dig a hole. However, should such need arise, it'll handle that one, too. This tool is so finely made one suspects when up for sale it might belong in a jewelry store window as anywhere. It'll also fit in an already too-packed trunk, so little is the required space for the muti-, muti-purpose tool. Indeed, so thoroughly considered in its build, the pack within which the Tyer shovel is contained has a number of carrying options including a simple (but sturdy) belt loop. If the reader has a need to be prepared for just about anything, it's hard to imagine this shovel won't be an important part of a purchaser's emergency equipment for his or her vehicle. However, it does have one negative of such proportion that it just might cancel a sale: it doesn't have an oxygen supply among that of the tool's multifaceted equipment supply. Still . . .

The shovel has a lot of great features that make it well worth the money. Recommended.

Okay, I haven't actually used the shovel yet, but I gotta say I'm so impressed with the build quality of this thing as well as the overall package it comes with. Every piece feels incredibly strong and sturdy, the fit and finish of the individual pieces and how they screw in to each other is top notch. Honestly the whole kit feels extremely high quality, down to the shovel sleeve and the carrying pouch itself. I have no idea if the little tools actually have any utility to them (other than the screwdriver) and I don't care--just the shovel itself feels fantastic. I really hope the 1-star reviews with the broken blades were down to a bad batch of steel or something, because I really want to have this thing around for a long time. It's a pleasure to behold.
