Chinese Military Shovel makes Leatherman look like a childs toy.

I really want to like that, but all those moving parts lead me to doubt the durability of that thing.

Didn't actually seem to be many moving parts on the thing, maybe an additional one around the pivot assembly.

Kinda neat, I loved the upbeat marching theme music though.

Looks interesting and seems to do more than my Glock and Gerber tools.

Looks like only one moving part, but it's a critical part. I have a surplus West German folding shovel with a very sturdy folding mechanism, but I've seen some that were less trustworthy.

Kudos to them, though. If anyone ever had any doubts that communism was dead, marketing like this put the notion to rest.

I'm was half expecting the guy to drive away on it at the end.

I have a whole CD of music like that. I always pop in in when I take someone for their first ride in my top-down jeep! It always makes them smile.

 

[batosai117]

But does it automatically play that music while in use?

I want one now, even though I love my knives, multi-tools, and my miniature folding shovel

 

[Mitchell Knives]

Cool. I want one.

Screw the shovel, I want the music...translated is it the "Magnificent 7" shovel?

 

[razorsdescent]

Lol. That is good.

The music was crazy. Not sure what they were digging the trench around the tent for. I guess if you are going to carry a folding shovel, this is the one you want.

So when it rains the tent doesnt flood.

Not to go into a non-knife tangent, but I too would like to know the name of this CD.

China likely makes this onshore and most of their iron ore is very low grade. Almost anything is better.

 

[Habbekuk]

And still they forgot to mention you can use it to fry eggs as well.

 

[nicktheww2fanatic]

depending on the quality of production, this would be quite nice to add to my camping gear

 

[meako]

great i can cut through wire , dig some sand,chop down a twig, shave some jelly,take a dump in the woods , bury it & then chop up the spuds for dinner -why didn't any one think of this before .
NB no shovel was harmed during the making of this film.

I made the CD myself. It does have the Magnificent 7 song. It also has that beef commercial song. (I think the real name of that one is Rodeo/Arron Copeland) There's also the themes from Bonanza and Big Valley, along with others I can't remember. The first jeep ride/sound experience was with my mom-in-law. She was laughing the whole time.

 

[Skytorn]

A few posts mentioned concerns regarding quality as it is a Chinese-made product. I don't know why Cold Steel or Gerber doesn't pull a China and make a functional replica of this in 1055. I'd buy that. I'd buy that three times.

 

[cmeisenzahl]

LOL, I love it! ;-)

Just Great. So now they can dig their way to us for a land assault, or paddle to us for a sea assault. They can probably fly with them too, but I reckon they will keep that a secret.

I wonder how many shovels they broke during the filming. I've seen Army E-tools break while chopping through roots.
