Suitable for

• Digging small trenches and fire pits while camping
• Light earthmoving and site preparation during hiking or fieldwork
• Emergency and survival tasks such as creating drainage or shelter foundations
• Military-style or tactical field use where compact tools are needed

Key specifications

• Folding entrenching shovel with compact transport dimensions
• Straight handle constructed from fibre material for reduced weight
• Metal shovel blade suitable for digging and cutting light roots
• Locking mechanism to secure blade in folded and deployed positions
• Designed for portability during camping, hiking, and field operations

How to use

To use the folding entrenching tool, unlock the folding joint and extend the blade until the locking mechanism engages to secure the shovel in the working position. Apply steady downward force on the straight fibre handle when digging; for cutting through light roots or compacted soil, angle the blade and use controlled chopping motions. After use, clean soil and debris from the blade and joint, fold the blade back into its transport position and engage the lock for safe storage and transport.

Usage recommendations

Use the tool within its intended scope: light to moderate digging, trenching and earthmoving. Avoid levering heavy rocks or applying excessive torque that could stress the folding joint. Regularly inspect the locking mechanism and hinge for wear, and keep the blade clean and dry to prolong service life.
