I bought it to have as a spare; you can always throw it in the car, backpack, or even attach it to your belt, there's a sheath with a loop. It's not too big, so it can come in handy sometimes, but it's also not a micro shovel—you can actually get something done with it. I recommend the Militaria store, as usual the shipping was fast.
Convenient folding entrenching tool crafted from robust stainless steel, designed after the model used by the US Army. The additional blade features a matte anti-corrosion coating for enhanced durability.
One side of the blade is fitted with a single-row saw for cutting through roots or small branches. The screw locking mechanism at the base allows the blade to be positioned either straight or at a 90-degree angle to the shaft, providing flexibility for optimal digging comfort.
The steel shaft incorporates a reliable spring lock. The triangular handle is designed for easy hanging of the tool.
Three-section folding design ensures the entrenching tool is highly portable and simple to carry.
A nylon pouch with Velcro closure comes included, easily attachable to a belt or gear.

The entrenching tool fulfills its role. Plus for the case that allows safe packing into a backpack, etc. On the downside, the construction loosens over time and you just need to tighten it up.
-
I have a farm and bought the entrenching tool so it would stay in the tractor, as it might come in handy during field work and it doesn't take up much space. Literally after a week, I already needed it to dig a small hole to pull a stone out of the ground. For simple tasks, it will definitely be useful. It's light and takes up little space.
-
Bought a long time ago, used occasionally but fulfills its function. I haven't tested the saw for cutting wood, nor have I used it as a pickaxe. It has always served as a shovel. Certainly, the small size when folded and the cover are a plus.

Today I wanted to dig up a tree seedling and here's what happened (photo). I note that the 'shovel' wasn't used hard before. It's better to buy a small shovel at a gardening store for 50 PLN.
-
Well made, but for me, still a bit too small. The compromise between weight, size, and functionality just doesn't work for me in this case. But if someone is looking for a mini version, go for it.
-
The entrenching tool takes up very little space, the included cover is a plus, I recommend buying it.
-
Great! Very durable, compact entrenching tool. I recommend it!
-
Super, I use it for gardening, especially for weeding. Really great entrenching tool, which I carry on my belt.
-
Nice and handy, does the job. I recommend it!
-
Very good shovel for this price. I bought it and carry it to work instead of the army-issued one with a wooden handle. This one is tiny and light. It fits in a small backpack pocket or pouch.
-
Passed the field test. The biggest advantage is the ability to attach the cover to a backpack and its really small size. You won’t dig up the whole forest, but for bushcraft use it’s perfect.
-
Reliable and versatile.
-
The entrenching tool looks very sturdy. Very good workmanship at a fantastic price. Its compact size means it will fit in almost any bag. The idea was to have it as part of my car's trunk equipment in winter, in case I needed to dig out if a plow buried my car. I think it will have many uses...

Nice, small, and handy. If someone needs something not too big when folded, I recommend it.
