why have it fold?
Why not just have it so you just take the head off to stow it that way? It's already held on with a thumbscrew
It'd take like 5 more seconds to deploy and the shovel would be much stronger for being made of solid metal, and cheaper to make too.

>why have it fold?
Because it's actually an overrated, over-marketed piece of shit that is barely adequate as a shovel, and can't even do half the things shown in the video right.

There is a reason why you get specialized tools for all but most basic of tasks, and not one thing that does everything.

>>15146970
Because if you put the head off, there will be a 50/50 chances that your clumsy little fatass will lost it like an idiot.

the folding is part of the gimmick. they don't need it to be stronger (it's already decently strong), but to have a multipurpose hinge.

it allows for leverage when using the wire cutter, the 90 degree fold when locked is meant to be used as a makeshift hoe or anchor, and the fully flat fold is for various improvised bullshit like using the back of the shovel blade as a flat surface to hammer with

most if not all entrenching shovels are of a folding design, by the way. no military wants one out of solid metal because it'd be too heavy, and the point of an entrenching shovel is that it's compact and light. a detachable head that takes 5 seconds longer to deploy is a no-no when it comes to use as an improvised weapon, and the joint and lock system is already strong and provides a certain amount of stiffness (the hinge only allows for X movement in a certain range and direction) as opposed to having a tool come in two pieces that you need a more complex lock so there's no yaw, pitch, roll, or inadvertent detachment.

No, this is.

If I took like 20 of these traveled back in time to around 8000 BC and just dropped them off would we have mechs yet?

>>15150065
No, we would be worshiping some space dropping god now. And the ancient alien guy would claim you are an ancient astronaut.
