A folding shovel can be an indispensable tool in constantly changing environment. The SOG Entrenching Tool measures 18.25", and comes with a nylon storage pouch. A well made, light duty e-tool, perfect for winter weather and emergency use. We tend to prefer a Glock or Ames e-tool for true survival or I.N.C.H. applications, but for only $15, the SOG tool has earned itself a well deserved place on our list.
