This shovel ( ENTRENCHING TOOL) rocks! I used to have WWII era shovel (entrenching tool) in the trunk of my car and a few extra for camping and so on. Compared to the SOG they have a solid wood handle Large spade and heavy lug. They are HEAVY for what you need them for and only have one other use as a hoe. When you fold them up the handle stocks out a foot or so. So Although they are great for digging and solidly built, They are clunky and singularly purposed.ON THE OTHER HAND THE SOG IS THE BOMB! Its super duper light, and it folds up and fits into a pouch Thats maybe 6-8"x 4" WOW!! This tool also is really solid when fully deployed and locked. Like not even a rattle from the spade moving tight! With the added serrated cutting surface on the side of the spade & the pick, this is truly a mufti tool that can be super handy! Shovel, Saw, Pick, Hoe, Wepon (Either puncture, or slashing) . pry bar, climbing pick.... So on and so on.. You get the point. THE PRICE IS RIGHT, ITS LITE, STURDY, AND TACTICAL BLACK!! JUST BUY IT ALREADY!!!

So this entrenching tool is just that...an entrenching tool. You have to be on your knees to use it unless your 4 feet tall or less. That being said, this tool is well made and will take a lot of abuse when used properly. It compacts down to a very small size and you can angle the shovel head so it looks like a hoe and has a pick opposite the shovel head. The pick can be lowered flush with the handle if you wish or used with the shovel head extended out or by itself. My only complaint is that this thing is heavy. Weighs over 2 pounds. But weight aside, this will probably be the last entrenching tool you'll ever need to buy. It does come with a carrying pouch with is also a heavy duty and should last a long time. The pouch has a loop on the back so it can be secured to the outside of your pack or you can put it inside the pack. So yes, I'm glad I bought this brand of entrenched tool.

Digs holes for the #2. Easy to pack in and out

Really like this shovel. I use it for my truck and for the beach. Great for the price.

I bought the smaller version. It is smaller then army surplus trench shovels or clones of such which can be a positive or negative depending on your needs. It was a great lightweight and compact shovel to carry around and its fits perfectly in backpack during hikes. I had it in my pack for a year.It's easy to assemble and dissemble, perfect for clearing debris or clearing a trail but it's no replacement for a larger full size shovel. It's decent quality until it broke after some use. I contacted SOG (GMS) who claims life time warranty and have yet to receive a response from them after a week or so that's some points docked off.
