Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gerber 30-000075 E-Tool Folding Spade with Serrated Blade
Customer Review: Incredibly versitile tough shovel
Summary: 5 Stars
First off this is lighter weight than a standard military etool. Even though it's used by US Marines and NATO it is used to keep the weight down in their packs or belts. Shovel can work great in place of a post hole digger as the blade is slightly curved to facilitate a round hole. Shovel head can be positioned as a scoop to scoop out dirt. It can be straight, 90 degrees, and a hoe configuration with the gears (dogs) on the handle for positioning to lock in place. Can also be used as a ground tamper. Your turn knob is up on the handle and not down at the actual blade area. You can jamb it into the ground and use as a corkscrew to make round holes. Great for planting and digging up small trees and plants. A friend of mine has this tool and he is in a foreign military as a Special Forces guy. When he first got his Gerber he set out to literally destroy it to see if he could in fact break it at all. After putting it though torture tests such as leaning against a tree and kicking it vigourously for a half hour, slamming the plastic handle into an armoured vehicle a dozen times, he uses as a fry pan cooking his breakfast (not kidding here folks he really does) making his breakfast of eggs and canned meat, and later on as a fry pan for his steak (after washing of course after using all day digging holes, etc), using it as a rest to rest his posterior on to take a dump (be careful with your aim is his advice), throwing it into a large tree trunk (after 2 times the 3rd time was the charm and stuck). His only complaint was as follows: It does not do very well when run over by a tank. The blade got V shaped and was a little fruity after that but the handle was still intact with only a few scratches on it. His replacement did not do very well when accidently thrown into the ocean at high tide. He confessed that he could not wreck it after a month of pure abuse. He said he never recommended anything like this before as he was so impressed by this ETool. The ones given to him by his military pales in comparison with broken handles and broken off blades. If you know how to use this etool it can be a very effective weapon as well. He's 6' and weighs 190 lbs. and is pure muscle. He was a farmer in civilian life and would break shovels left and right as he is very handed. With a recommendation like that I just had to buy one and guess what? He's more than right. This tool slides effortlessly into the ground whether it has grass on the surface or not. Digging is speeded up and the work area is much neater than a full size pointed shovel. I highly recommend it myself. Might try cooking a steak over an open fire like my friend sometime. He even sawed a 5" branch off a tree and then split it leaning one branch against the other side of the blade. He said he's going to leave his axe back at camp as this etool can replace his axe as well. This is a highly versatile tool.

Durable Construction for Heavy-Duty Use

At just over 2 pounds and measuring 9.37 inches in length when closed, the Gerber E-Tool is easy to pack in to campgrounds or hunting sites, take to work, or store in your shop or shed. Its small size also works well in compact spaces where a regular size shovel won't fit.
Serrated Edge Adds Functionality
One side of the spade is serrated to give you extra power when digging in tough environments. Use it to saw through grass, plants, and undergrowth or for cutting into ice or hard dirt. The shape of the blade also helps this Gerber E-Tool enter the ground more easily.
Locks Open for Added Stability
A locking mechanism will keep the Gerber E-Tool open when in use, helping keep you safe and protected when you apply pressure during shoveling. Simply turn the ridged knob that wraps around the shaft to secure the E-Tool in the open position.
About Gerber: A History of Innovation
Savvy. Moxie. Craftsmanship. Attention to detail. These are just a few of the company traits that have contributed to Gerber's emergence as a world leader in outdoor gear. Joseph Gerber started Portland, Oregon's Gerber Advertising back in 1910, and one Christmas, he hired a local knife-maker to craft 25 sets of kitchen cutlery as client gifts. The knives were so popular Mr. Gerber ultimately left his agency to launch Gerber Legendary Blades in 1939.
It makes sense, really. An idea man gets the idea of a lifetime and turns it into a major outdoor brand--one that commands respect among knife lovers and knife makers alike. And now that same high regard is spreading in new directions, in the form of many outstanding products such as tools, personal L.E.D. lighting, and more.
