iunio Camping tools

Value for money:This shovel multi-tool is perfect for an emergency kit, especially for the price. It's durable, and the lock is very stable and tight. The compass always points north. The whistle works good. I had my doubts at first, and yes you could get a better shovel for more money. However I am in love with this thing.

Very pleased with the value and quality. Haven't used it in the field yet, but the multifunctional capabilities are awesome. Quality of the assembly is high; the blades (of which there are several) are all sharp. The shovel is very handy and the axe is weighty/sharp. And it all fits into a surprisingly small/compact bag. Perfect gift for any dude - at a fantastic price. Excited to test it out on my next camping trip.

Nice and heavy. Really haven't used it yet. The reason a 4 star is the carrying case wasn't sewn correctly as shown in photo. I DON'T want to return. I'm trying another way of fixing the bag myself. The tools appear to be good quality, hopefully I won't have to use it soon as it's for my bug out bag.

This is a very innovative and well designed and built tool. Much more useful and user friendly than the standard military-style trenching tool.I bought the option which expands to 35" in length, so one can dig and chop standing up, or you can leave out one or more extension pieces for kneeling and using in a tight space. I confess I wondered just how strong the tool is, but on unpacking it found it is VERY strong, not flimsy or weak at all!A very good buy at an excellent price!

Durable, sharp, light weight, easy to assemble, reasonable priced.

This is a small, lightweight shovel. Perfect for an RV. It is sharp and tough.

I have very mixed feelings about this product/shovel. First, for emergency purposes and/or bug out bags, this shovel would be alright. For a shovel, the head of the shovel is flat and very small. It will take a lot of shoveling to dig even the smallest whole. The cutting blade and the saw on the shovel are not sharp at all. The only sawing or chopping you will do is on very small items/branches. Branches that you will be able to break with your hands. Trust me, if you need a lot of equipment to go camping/or bugging out, you will still need an axe and a saw to go with this shovel. The good news is that this Emergency Tool/Shovel, is exactly what it declares - For Emergencies. Also, for tall people, you will have to buy an extension which they do have for $10.00. The extension is only for the 31 inch shovel. It is compact, fairly lightweight and has a good bag with molle straps to attach to a backpack. You won't want to put it on a belt. As far as the other tools that come built in with this shovel head, fire starter, whistle, etc. - just think of this as an emergency folding shovel. If you think of it that way, you will be alright with it. I did try using it today when I got the shovel, and as stated above, it will take a lot of strokes and shoveling to dig even the smallest hole. I'm keeping it for the trunk of my car just in case I ever get stuck in mud or a snow storm. I will also have it available in case I ever need to bug out. My suggestion, just buy a lightweight folding saw, lightweight military style compact shovel and a lightweight axe. You get what you pay for.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:the reviews were good on this, and i liked that it had a bit longer handle. this will stay in the car for rough weather such as snow. it comes with a carry case too, so that keeps it together in the emergency kit
