Very well made, solid fucking lucking mechanism. I have looked at other entrenching tools at gun/militaria shows and nothing compares to this one. Keep it.

Anyone have experience with one?

I broke my Aimes E tool the first 30 minutes of use

> digging up potato
> use e tool in pick mode
>head, gasket, and turn screw dun broked
>Similarly priced one of these with thicker and simpler locking mechanism


Will buy one and sharpen the edge just like a specnaz shovel but i'm worried that I won't be able to throw it

Looks like a shovel

This is probably pants-on-head, but is an E-Tool worth having just in case? I've wangted to get one for a while but I have trouble justifying it.

I think its from east germany. Quite heavy and not comfortable for long work. It cost me around $20.

Why would that be retarded? I have one of these and carry it in my trunk. It has come in handy many times. This is the best e-tool I've ever seen unless you have to carry it around everywhere.

I always thought these were East German too. I bought one at a gun show in '92 for $20, and had it until last year when my car was stolen. I never saw another one anywhere else until about 2 years ago when they turned up on the surplus market everywhere and I bought another one just in case.

I have an old NVA entrenching tool. It has been more abused than a young russian recruit.
