Best Tactical Shovels

Survival shovels have long been a staple of the military, and many of those who learned the various uses for them while serving have helped bring them into civilian life. Of course, the e-tools that are given to military members are often pretty basic items, but the number of uses they have has been extended by many of the survival shovels seen on the market today. One great example of this is the zunelotoo 23 Tools in One Annihilate Tactical Shovel, a shovel that includes almost two dozen different tools in one item.

A shovel's primary use is for digging holes, and this tool helps do an admirable job of this, but its real strength lies in the several dozen tools added to it. For instance, this tool includes an axe head, a saw, and even a hoe, something that is not often seen on such tools. Almost all of the structural elements are made of heat-treated solid carbon steel, which provides the tool with increased strength and durability, as well as making it highly resistant to corrosion. This is especially important for any tool that will be used in wet conditions, helping to guarantee a long service life for the item. Along with its fully adjustable handle that allows for people of all sizes to comfortably use the tool for digging, the sheer number of tools included on this unit make it one of the best survival shovels on the market today.

The people behind the EST Gear Military Folding Shovel are calling this product the ultimate survival shovel. Is that an accurate assessment? Long story short - it is. Before anything else, what we have here is the most versatile package.

The instrument can be used as an ice pick, a saw, knife, hexagon wrench, bottle opener, spear, axe, hoe, whistle compass, wire cutter, rope cutter, fire starter, trowel, nail puller, ruler, hook, screwdriver, and, of course, a shovel. It is hard to imagine a scenario where this variable tool/weapon will not prove useful. As you would imagine, the folding/modular design allows you to assemble, disassemble, and remove certain parts basically hassle-free.

Made from hardened, heat-treated, solid carbon steel, the reinforced shovel head is tough enough to survive any situation, whereas the military-grade aluminum handle makes the model lightweight and comfortable to work with. What you have to keep in mind is that the shovel is shipped very sharp, so we highly recommend exercising caution.

Bottom line, the EST Gear Military Folding Shovel is indestructible. Packing 18 essential tools into one, lightweight, long-lasting shovel, this product is something that even the most seasoned campers will appreciate.

One may not think that those who enjoy fishing would need a survival shovel, but you may be surprised to find that there is a model that offers the perfect balance of tools to aid anyone who plans on catching and cooking fish. The IUNIO Camping Multitool Folding Shovel is that model, making it an essential tool for anyone who likes to spend time not just fishing, but also hunting and camping. What makes this model so great for fishing, though, are the number of tools included that are geared specifically for it. For instance, this e-tool includes a fish scaler that lets you scale fish right after catching them, and the ice pick is perfect for those who enjoy winter fishing.

Of course, this tool includes plenty of other features that make it quite useful for activities other than just fishing, including a saw, a magnesium rod for starting fires, a whistle, and even a can opener. The survival tool comes with a very practical storage pouch that lets you easily store the tools and all of its accessories. The pouch even includes belt loops that let you attach it on your belt, making it extremely easy to carry with you wherever you go. With these features along with its durable build quality, anyone who enjoys fishing or hunting will find this survival tool to be well-suited for them.

This multifunctional tactical shovel is filled to the brim with tools that you may need in the wilderness. Although the shovel itself may look a bit thin due to its uncharacteristic aluminum-like color, it is fairly durable, which enables using it for a variety of different tasks.

The only drawback of the design is that it may look overly complicated at first glance, however, given a few tries, you will be able to disassemble the shovel and put all the required parts back on in no time.

Initial difficulties out of the way, let’s see what’s included in the kit. Obviously, you have the shovel attachment that can be connected to the main handle. In addition to that, the other attachments can be used to open bottles, saw wood, and dig using the spade at a 90-degree angle. Likewise, the kit also has a magnesium rod that is very useful at starting campfires especially if you don’t have other means of making a fire. As a bonus, the handle can be extended from its standard length using other tools that come together with the main unit all the way to 31.5 inches.

To wrap things up, this tactical shovel model from Sahara Sailor will be a good option for people that love to camp, hunt, and fish since it provides them with the majority of the tools needed for these activities.

Compared to everything we have reviewed above, the REDCAMP Military Folding Camping Shovel is basic. Still, relative to the price, this is an attractive product. From digging and sawing to cutting, hammering, and shoveling, this tool enables it all. The sharpened edge will facilitate comfortable digging even into dry soil, while the serrated saw edge will have no issues cutting through roots and compost, not to mention mud, sand, and snow. Using this shovel, you'll be able to easily dig the tires out. Switching between digging, sawing, and shoveling will prove quite easy too, thanks to the tri-fold design and the aluminum revolving part that offers smooth movement without becoming loose eventually.

From the construction perspective, despite the inexpensive price, the product is not made from the same shoddy materials that cheap tools are made from. On the contrary, this shovel is constructed from 50# high-carbon steel, both its body and the handle. Even the carry pouch is quite nice, even though it fades eventually.

Anyway, if you want something that will aid self-defense, camping, backpacking, hiking, fishing, hunting, and even gardening, the REDCAMP Military Folding Camping Shovel will not leave you disappointed.
