A small, fairly sturdy entrenching tool – so far my son has used it twice during activities, digging a foxhole for a prone shooting position. The entrenching tool is well made, but it doesn't work well in hard soil; however, in regular sand it works very well.
A sturdy folding shovel, ideal for camping, survival excursions, metal detecting, or as a car trunk emergency snow shovel due to its lightweight nature.
The metal head features an anti-corrosion coating and is equipped with a saw, making it capable of handling roots or small branches while digging. The included pickaxe/claw unfolds separately from the shovel.
The removable handle is partially covered with non-slip rubber, providing a reliable grip even when your hands are dirty or wet.
A practical pouch is included, allowing the shovel to be conveniently carried at the waist.

After using it, I noticed it's a little rattly, but the price is low, so you can't expect miracles. Nice gadget, but you'll have to pay more for better equipment. It works well as a gift or as car equipment.
-
The entrenching tool is very lightweight and takes up very little space, yet it still feels sturdy. The set includes a cover that can be attached to a backpack or belt. I recommend it.

Looking for a lightweight but strong entrenching tool, I found exactly that. Worked great in forest conditions. It comes with a cover that can be attached to your belt.
-
Very small entrenching tool, yet light and surprisingly sturdy for the price. Thanks to its dimensions, it will fit in any pocket in a backpack or bag. Even though it's small, it's better to dig with this than with your hands if needed.
-
For this price, the entrenching tool is truly outstanding. Sure, it's small and not the most durable, but definitely better for digging than your hands. As seen in the movie 'The Shawshank Redemption,' even small tools can achieve a lot. Instead of complaining, it's better to enjoy its advantages.
-
After a few uses I noticed the entrenching tool is a bit loose, but for this price you can't expect too much. Overall, it's a cool thing, better models cost more. It will work well as a gift or as additional gear for the car.
-
For this price, it's really good equipment. It worked great while preparing and maintaining a small campfire during a trip. It seems a bit delicate, but you have to use it as intended—I wouldn't recommend using it as a hammer or for digging large holes in hard ground. For Polish forests, if you want to save weight, it's definitely a good choice.
-
The shovel turned out to be very functional. When folded, it fits even in a man's hand! It's light but solid. Maybe it's a bit too small for digging trenches, but it's more than enough to clear a spot for a tent.
-
The MFH 3-in-1 entrenching tool when folded is mainly suitable for digging small holes. The downside is weak paint coating and that it rusts quite quickly, especially in rainy weather.
-
This shovel is a hit. Easy to unfold, and when folded takes up very little space. It doesn't slip out of your hand and serves its purpose well. I am very satisfied with the purchase. However, for those wanting to dig up a garden, it will not be suitable.
-
For this price, it's okay. The shovel is really small (smaller than a hand), so it's not suitable for bigger jobs, but once folded, it can even fit in a trouser pocket, which I see as a plus.
-
I bought the shovel for my car. At first, I was shocked by its small size, but its light weight and intuitive folding make up for it. Of course, I won't dig all of China with it, but it's just right to prepare a place for a campfire.
-
The purchase was a conscious decision – together with the folding shovel it makes a successful set for snow removal. The shovel breaks up ice and hard snow, and thanks to its surface the scoop clears away the remnants. One might think about buying a bigger shovel, but I prefer specialized tools, because universal ones do not always work well :)
-
The purchase was carefully thought out – together with the scoop (also folding), they make a set for snow removal. The shovel handles hard, frozen snow and ice well, and the scoop – thanks to its larger surface – lets you remove everything. Of course, someone could buy just a bigger shovel, but I prefer tools for a specific purpose, as versatility doesn’t always work :)
