"I really love the feel and grip. I'm also happy that it doesn't collapse like most survival shovels do, so I don't have to worry about it doing so by accident. You can chop down small branches with it too! It's a must have!"
"Is it worth $40? I don't know. But the spear,ax,tomahawk, and warhammer are definitely worth their weight in gold. When I got the tomahawk out of the package I took it in the basement for a test on a dry-treated-2"X6"X24" piece. Against grain cut with angry swing from above head to floor, the hawk went almost 1/2 way through. Maybe a 1/4" short. The ax,hawk,& spear are 1/32nd of an inch short of being 1/2 an inch thick. So, without having the shovel in my hand, I would take an educated guess and say that the shovel (E-tool)is great quality. If I do get another check that I don't expect, I'll be buying all 5 of the M48 TAC items. They altogether lighten my ruck load by almost 30lbs. I wouldn't have to carry an extra larger shovel,pick-ax, or 12lb sledge hammer. I know; Nice. Pete "Your greatest weapon is your enemy's mind" Buddha"
