I already have a Glock handgun, so I figured why not get the Glock entrenching tool? Okay, hear me out. I actually really like folding shovels, keep one in my car for emergencies, and find them really useful for camping. I’ve had a few, but the Glock shovel has long haunted my dreams. - ThreadSky

Guns and shovels go together like peas and carrots. 😅

The Glock fixed blade knife isn't terrible either

Yes, but do you have the Colt Foursome power strip? https://www.ebay.com/itm/185924412538

One of my fav tools. It's outlasted my last two vehicles.

I've heard good things and the competitors never review as well.

My experience with collapsible entrenching tools is they are generally not up to actually digging a trench. Thus you end up digging the final part of the trench kind of stabbing at the dirt with the most spade like remaining part of the by then disassembled tool. Let us know if the glock delivers.

Neat! I thought they only did handguns and horse cum

The one Red Fudd belief no soul could ever disabuse me of is that this is the ultimate E-tool from the POV of having a reliable locking mechanism that I trust not to come loose with real entrenching tasks. Sure basically every other feature is a gimmick, but that hinge tho:

What’s really attractive about it is the weight - it’s only 23.2 ounces! That makes it one of, if not the lightest e-tool in its class. On top of that, the telescoping handle and built-in saw makes this shovel incredibly versatile while still maintaining a delightful veneer of simplicity.

I’ll have to really run it through its paces, but first impressions and feedback I’ve gotten from other longtime users look very promising. I know this is a pretty niche piece of gear, but something to consider if you love holes like I do. 🖤

Having been in some hairy situations in the last few years I'm about 50/50 on whether I would have been better off with and e-tool instead of a rifle.

Keep us in the loop, I too find trenching tools wildly underrated.
