I wonder how long that edge can stay sharp, with the sawing of metal and whatnot

 

[Enosh]

isn't it easier to pull a knife to open botles/cans instead of puting a specialized can and bottle opener on a shovel?

chinese military doesn't issue knives?

 

[3dmodeler]

you can't dig with a knife

 

[GitarooMan]

:lol The music sells it.

 

[xbhaskarx]

So where can I buy one of these shovels online?

 

[Mudkips]

You can also fry eggs on it!

 

[Judderman]

"I'll take two!"

 

[xbhaskarx]

You can also fry eggs on it!

It's also a hat, if you strap it to your head.

 

[Piggus]

As awesome as that looks, I'd probably just end up injuring myself with it.

Please no imitations or knock-offs. I want the original Chinese one.

 

[Gilby]

My family has/had one of those, except the handle was metal. We use it for camping. It's not very good.

My guess is this shovel is meant to save the chinese military a lot of money. They have 3.5 million soldiers. Imagine the extra cost if you have to pay for a shovel AND a multitool/army knife for all of them.

I think that's the first time I can recall someone asking about cheap American knock offs of the quality chinese product.

 

[RS4-]

yeah, I'm definitely buying one of these.

Zombie Survival Guide.

 

[Dresden]

I could probably do the same thing with a regular shovel from Home Depot.

 

[KnightM7]

WTF a shield?

Donnie Yen uses one in Ip Man 2..

So would Chinese military grade still be military grade?

 

[HappyBivouac]

-Ping Pong paddle

 

[Rubezh]

Somebody needs to dig up more information on this.

 

[R2D4]

Somebody needs to dig up more information on this.

As paranoid as the Chinese government is I'm surprised they haven't tried to bury all the info.

Now you're just opening up a can of worms.

 

[Akuun]

Some of the uses listed are cheesy, but that shovel is pretty awesome.

 

[Sol..]

these dudes are like professional diggers n' shit. it's mesmerizing.

 

[Medalion]

So many Chinese topics lately...

albeit this is actually strangely a positive...if abit, bizarre one

 

[Haly]

They're preparing for the zombie apocalypse I see.

 

[devilhawk]

I don't think the shovel had much to do with putting up the tent.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

I don't think the shovel had much to do with putting up the tent.

Yeah, impressive as it is, they were grasping on some things.

 

[Micius]

Shield, oar :lol

I feel sorry for the guys using that short-handled shovel for all that digging.

This. It may be the Swiss army knife of shovels but if I'm digging into hard earth I'd still find a proper long-handled shovel.

 

[VALIS]

It's also a hat, if you strap it to your head.

It's also a remote control if you're sitting close enough to the TV.

 

[Medalion]

It also acts like a prop in your pants to impress the ladies...

"Hey baby, I dig ya!"

 

[LocoMrPollock]

You could also dispatch someone pretty easily with that thing.

 

[Corky]

a shovel, that can DIG?

 

[agrajag]

My family has/had one of those, except the handle was metal. We use it for camping. It's not very good.

obviously, you guys are doing it wrong. Didn't you watch the video?

 

[wenis]

I want one....

 

[Gilby]

obviously, you guys are doing it wrong. Didn't you watch the video?

Clearly we must be. Probably because we didn't have that chinese-militia can-do attitude.

 

[lethial]

Speed it up a bit and add Benny Hill music.

[maniac-kun]

you can also find dinosaur bones with it

 

[Marvie_3]

So I can chop vegetables and open beer and canned ham with the same tool I would use to dig holes and cut trip wires with? Sold.

 

[BigJonsson]

They don't show the intended function of decapitation

 

[Megadragon15]

I'm sure you can also use it as a pooper scooper for your pet dog or cat.

 

[Medalion]

Hey, dig up somebody who gives a damn!

Sorry

 

[Ferrio]

Also makes great Chinese propaganda.

This site shall be spammed by me this weekend, thanks.

 

[BigJonsson]

ROFL @ Benny Hill

That will work perfectly for a bunch of YouTube videos of my friend freaking out.........even the tragi music haha

 

[Link Man]

What, no Mystery Men references?

And I find this funnier than the Benny Hill version (for the first time anyway).

 

[UnluckyKate]

This thread gave so much great idea that we could make another 8 min long video demonstrating all the new ways to use that shovel.

I guess we'll have to find chinese looking dudes to be credible.

 

[Mudkips]

Quick! Somebody dig up Billy Mays!

Spoiler

Holy shit, the ad writes itself!

 

[Lich_King]

It's just a cheap Chinese ripoff of a soviet shovel.

I'm sure it can't even beat F-117 like soviet original

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Jackie Chan is filming Shovel of Legend II as we speak.

Spoiler

He fights Galactus.

 

[hteng]

.... holy shit, mind blown at the amount of functions
