Thank you for sharing this! I have just uploaded an extended tutorial with 41 uses of this shovel model: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJKWd2WCrrd5aKMsi=6S04ZREOaXvM_O3Z Enjoy!

This is one of the best entrenching tool videos on KZbin. Great presentation, hits all of the points, and gives examples. Also, etools for life.

nice demonstration

This guy rules

Best vid on this subject I've seen

Where a full video?

US paratrooper said he would destroy one whenever he made a combat pit, chopping trees.

This knowledge feels illegal to know.

This is the best e-tool instructional video on the internet.

Great point about the machete not being image friendly.

Interesting ideas.

I never thought to use it as a seat! Genius. I just tried it out and it is very comfortable, as you say. This is great. I never have to bring a chair camping again! Thank you

This video deserves to get millions of views. The sheer joy and excitement which the presenter exudes is wonderful. The information shared is also valuable and useful.

This is an excellent review! Thanks for getting to the point and showing me how great this shovel is.

Best demonstration of the E-shovel to date...

Just purchased today from this kind gentleman at the gunshow in Ontario! Thank you sir!

What a great video! Very informative- love your teaching style. thank you!

If put in the 'hoe' position and shovelhead stumped into ground; the etool makes a lightduty winch anchor, allowing winching out of ice/snow/sand for ATV/CAR/LIGHT TRUCK. Use handle as winch point.

I always hear stories about those tearing up from hard use. What do you think?

Absolutely hilarious and informative! One thing I will say tho: to anyone getting an "E-tool" from a company, make sure that the nut that tightens the blade and handle is made out of the same metal as the rest of the shovel. I had a cheap knockoff in the scouts where this nut was plastic, and the rest of the metal was some kind of light-weight aluminum alloy. First time I tried to dig a campfire hole, the whole shovel bent and broke in several places! So take it from my life lesson that it pays to insist upon high-quality materials and the most rigorous testing conditions. You gotta look for high-carbon steel and all-metal construction, and then you have to torture test your purchase as much as you can before calling upon it in an emergency.

This guy is the best product selling cool dude ive seen so far :D

I got the same one but is made by LHB. U.S.. it is said to be made of the exact same material just another company with U.S. military contract. It works great The best shovel you can get.

I've found another good use. Turn handle 90 and use as a way to crawl across rough terrain. Put your weight on the handle use your other hand for balance. I used this method to army crawl across broken glass and gravel under briars.

Ames has always made the best shovels! I still use a 1945 E tool!

I had one of these years ago and some jack wagon stole my truck and when I got it back my etool was gone....

I used to have one of these and it was such a pain in the ass to use because the locking part kept loosening while id be using it

I really want one of these, to bad I would probally get into trouble trying to import this into my country...

Great review!! thanks for making this vid!!!

The grappling hook part sold me on this. It's far cheaper than the crovel, too. It may lack a spike for breaking rocks or lacks cutting power, but there are other tools for that. Definitely worth $50

Thanks for teaching me what else this shovel can do. I bought it to keep in the car in case I get stuck in snow.

Will using the e-tool as a grappling hook damage the hinge? I'm concerned that the little piece of metal being held in place by the tightened nut will become worn down to the point where it may eventually give way either during use or otherwise, but at that point the e-tool wouldn't be able to be used as a grappling hook anymore...

I've gotten one of these, but never realized all the amazing things you could do other than digging. Nice video!

Yes! Thanks for your video!!!

aah KZbin. You teach me things :)

Great review. Been wondering about these for a while. I'm convinced now. Thanks for the info. Great extra uses I never thought of!

Im 11and own one of these #best weapon for zombie apocalypse

Sir, excellent review! Sold me on this e tool.

Just a quick question, how sharp is the serrated part of the shovel? I'm just a bit afraid it might be too sharp to swing around aggressively.

awesome video i had no idea of all potential uses!

Fantastic video, will have to save up for one like this. Tfs :)

Thanks for your help.

cool video :)

F-Yeah! I've got my my 83 Ames. Thanks for showing. Shows all those plastic e-tool people you cant do everything with a Glock or Gerber E-tool what you can do with a good ol' AMES
