Got one of these at a white elephant party. It's a pos, flimsy and useless unless you're digging in beach sand.

Ah yes, an e-tool. I qualified expert with this in the Marine Corps along with the floor buffer and broom.

Great price to just toss in the truck for emergencies. But wonder if they hold up like the etool in the military.

Reviews go from: "it is well built and really sturdy" to "it broke within minutes."

I think this utility shovel from HF is roughly the same thing for half the price?

That actually looks pretty legit, I like the polymer handle as well. Likely stronger than the thin gauge metal on the other one. Not to mention, most "SOG" stuff is pretty janky so I'd actually trust something HF stocked (by default) over anything with SOG's name on it.

FWIW, I think the SOG one looks closer to the one I was issued in the early 2000's Army...but if you aren't LARPing, look shouldn't matter over function.
