3.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, marginal execution., October 29, 2010
This review is from: Multi - Purpose 5-in-One Survival Shovel (Misc.)
This seems to be standard, these days.
Take a great idea, send the drawings over to China, find the lowest bidder who is able to make something 'shaped like your idea' for the lowest possible price, then produce it as cheaply as possible and bring it to market in the West with very little consideration for things like durability and quality.

This is a good concept. I do some treasure hunting in remote places and the idea of a multi-tool with these functions appeals greatly to what I do. There are times when I need a shovel, need a small hoe, need a saw, need a pick... I sure wish there was a version of this tool made in America or Germany or Britain that I could pay $99 for and have it be solid quality that I could trust. Unfortunately, we have another great idea rendered from the junk workshops of the Orient, hamstrung from the get-go by needlessly low quality.

Since there isn't a higher quality alternative to suggest, I have to grudgingly recommend... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Give the little guy a break!, April 17, 2009
This review is from: Multi - Purpose 5-in-One Survival Shovel (Misc.)
I love this thing. Yes, it's small- I would not want to fill sand bags with it. The surface of the shovel is about as big as an opened hand. For non-critical missions I would definitely pack this thing. I have used it as a kindling splitter, latrine digger, garden trowel, fire poker, ash scoop, tent stake hammer (axe has a hammer head on other end), and it keeps your hands clean and dry when making sand castles, snow-men... you name it. I keep it in my ever present bug-out bag and it is just a great little tool despite it's appearances. You can even stuff some junk in the handle for extra storage. The tools it has are a shovel(trowel), mini-axe/hammer, pick/spike which can go straight or at 90 degrees to the handle, and a funky little saw. I have not tried the saw... i'd estimate it could probably take down a 3" stump if you were determined... but the other tools are sturdy enough. It is pretty cheaply made, but the beauty of that is you can buy two instead of some other junky chinese... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Small, but excellent, December 29, 2009

This kit is pretty small. The spade is only about as big as my hand. The axe is also very roughly ground and won't chop anything. But, it fits neatly inside my back-pack and does the job (after grinding down the axe). I've actually grown to appreciate having the extra tools in a smaller kit. It is much more useful than my old combat shovel. It has definitely found a place in my camping gear.
