Here is the next generation Gerber entrenching tool or E-Tool. These awesome little shovels pack a ton of value and utility into a small package!

This next gen e-tool won its government contract through rigorous testing in combat by the United States Marine Corps. This more modern version of the familiar e-tool has benefited from clever design improvements that make it more durable and lighter weight. Designed to be used as a straight shovel, or with the blade locked at 90 degrees as a pick-hoe.

 The important key design improvements are the ergonomically improved handle is now made of lightweight reinforced fiberglass, the shaft is now reinforced anodized extruded aluminum and the blade is made of hardened carbon steel. The familiar tightening nut has moved next to the handle instead of on the blade end keeping operation easier and the tool cleaner.  Weighs 2.2 lbs.
