What is Reddit's opinion of Gerber E-Tool Folding Spade, Serrated Edge [30-000075]?

Fort Leonard Wood, 31b. It's got a plastic handle. My company had a few milk crates worth of the old ones and the DSs made us paint them black.

Fort Leonard Wood. 31b. Yeah it's the plastic handled ones. Not the older ones. The DSs had a bunch of those that we had to spray paint black at one point.

I have this exact shovel. I take them camping in case I need a shovel. they can take a lot of damage.https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B001JQ5YJ6/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=1977604522&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B000WZCSTO&pf_rd_m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_r=TRHEP20Y0WDNNYYPB49Z

And if you own a 4WD truck because you live in an area with incliment weather or poor roads, a small folding shovel like this one can be a life saver. I've broken apart giant chunks of ice, chopped down small trees and planted tulips with mine. It lives next to the tire jack under the rear seat. Super helpful.

Same in the US Marines, I think ours were Gerber though. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001JQ5YJ6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fab_rZnEFbZBXVKV1

Even though i absolutely hated having to use this thing. The Gerber e-tool. Used it in the Marines, tough little shovel and the price is right.

Gerber Entrenching Tool

I like the Gerber.

Looks heavy and does not fold. Pouch or not, it would be a pain to transport. For a cool gizmo I'd go for the 5 in 1 shovel. Or more likely an inexpensive, lightweight, folding, backpacking shovel. Or if I was going z-day survival, an E-tool.
