The most glorious shovel

Dig, chop, excavate, slice, julienne, snip, open bottles, twist, paddle, hand-to-hand battle.

These Chinese guys sure make this thing look impressive, one minute digging a latrine and slicing potato chips the next.

Re: The most glorious shovel

Great tool. Mine only folds up into a carry case. Where do we order this thing?
A friend of mine, Syl Melroe told me he had a helluva time selling the original Melroe Bobcat over there even after a perfect demonstration. His demonstration was followed by theirs, fifty eager for work Chinese with shovels could keep up with his Bobcat and do it a lot cheaper.

Ding Hao Zane!! Nice find.

...but dammit, the ruler on the handle is metric. How the hell am I supposed to use that??

Boy, I hope we never have to fight a war with those guys from China. Not to worry. They probably won't lend us the money anyway.

Hey Glidergeek, just tell them about the "Chink" shovel and I''m pretty sure you'll get out of Jury Duty. :)

Guess you could always grab a tape measure and put your own ruler on it. That's a pretty nifty tool though.

Re: The most glorious shovel

Looks like a US Army entrenching tool that someone sharpened one edge of and managed to make a saw tooth on the other edge. I'm betting it's actually just about as useful also. Unless you sharpen the thing every ten minutes.

There is no such thing as a "multi-tool" in matter of fact. At least not one that's really good at a lot of tasks.

A 16 oz ball-peen hammer with a paint brush on the other end of the handle would be my all-purpose tool: "beat to fit, paint to match."
