Entrenching Tool
A folding shovel can be an indispensable tool in today’s constantly changing environment. When you need to move sand, dirt, or snow, a shovel is the best hand tools to have. Our all steel constructed entrenching tool uses a tempered steel blade with teeth cut into one side for cutting and slashing. The blade can be rotated 90 degrees to reveal a pick or to be used as a hoe with the shovel blade. Rotate the blade a full 180 degrees to use the pointed end of the pick in a straight manner. The triangular handle is strong and fits comfortably in either hand. When folded, it takes up about the same space as a stack of paper plates. Before any adventure, make sure you pack this portable, lightweight, and versatile tool. From the Manufacturer’s comments on the Amazon sales page.
