Ghost Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 The most epic shovel known to man! http://wimp.com/militaryshovel/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSnake79 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Looks pretty good, nice. Bet you still will get cancer if you use it too much though... teeth fall out etc.First new stealth fighters, now mega shovels! In all seriousness I bet it is a good shovel, they should be able to make good tools by now anyway. Back in the day my grandfather gave me the shovel he had while in the army. Folding spade shovel, and it was a piece of sh#t. I broke it the same day lol. Supposed to survive WW3, not 13 year old boy though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grenny Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 The only new things i saw where the cable cutter (well thats pretty nice!) and the measure...the other stuff can be done with most other mil-shovels around the world.And well, If I need a nail puller...I would use a, well, crowbar... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemolitionMan Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Who believes the commercials anyways?Story from my military service: Bundeswehr entrenching tool, solid metal. After 3 days out in the field my squad had 3 broken ones and mine somehow got stuck in the "digging" position. Soldiers get everything broken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabot_ready Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Looks like the Chinese wised up......instead of stealing 10 patents and making 10 different products, they just combined it all into one product now.And bet you can still buy 5 for $1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarball Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 cool gearPatents mean nothing in the new world... they'll (the Chinese and the like) suck the marrow out. If you want your IP safe, keep it to yourself.I liked the oar feature the best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorMagee Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I think I saw these for sale in Walmart for the dangerous falling price of $13.79. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Not sure you would want to chop onions after digging a slit trench though.The British army has the scissor thingy on the bayonets, bit awkward if its still attached to the rifle but hey ho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
