I chose it because it doesn't have extra screws that could break quickly. I haven't used it yet, but it feels a bit like a toy in hand, probably only suitable for soft soil.
A lightweight yet durable shovel crafted from carbon steel. It's an essential tool for enthusiasts of survivalism, bushcraft, and extreme tourism.
The working section of the steel is safeguarded against corrosion and rust by a special matte black lacquer coating. The handle is made from robust and durable nylon, noted for its lightweight properties.
Designed with a contoured handle, it ensures a comfortable and secure grip during operation. The side edge of the spade features a single-row saw, enabling you to tackle pesky roots or small branches while digging.
The kit includes a nylon pouch with a loop for attaching the shovel to a belt or other gear.

I do not recommend this entrenching tool. It's only suitable for shallow digging in sand. It broke after the third use and couldn't be repaired. Definitely do not buy!
-
I thought it would be weaker, but it's been serving me for almost a year and works quite well.
-
Perfect for the beach, but won't work in every type of soil.
-
High-quality workmanship. It is more durable than all the folding or screw-in shovels that I have had mixed experiences with. I recommend it.

The entrenching tool is of very solid quality.

Pretty good entrenching tool, I mainly bought it for the cover, and the tool itself ended up in the trunk. Price to quality—positive.

Nice entrenching tool, I keep it in my car. Suitable for minor tasks.
-
A good entrenching tool for this price, works well for digging and chopping, but I recommend using it moderately. A good choice for simpler tasks. The downside is the excess plastic which had to be trimmed slightly with a knife—this is just an aesthetic issue.
-
It's lightweight, easy to carry, suitable for digging, and the price is great.
-
Great handle, good shovel.
