Self-described as a super-tool, the COMBAR PRO features a distinct all-in-one design that packs a collection of heavy-duty tools into a single lightweight package. Bringing together a hammer, axe, spade, knife and saw, this super-tool weighs just over three pounds. The handle of the tool is constructed of a glass-reinforced nylon, while the various tools are made of either titanium or stainless steel.

Each of the various tools featured in the COMBAR PRO is designed to handle a myriad of tasks, but the makers of the tool did design them to excel at certain tasks. The hammer portion features traction grooves and was made to easily hammer tent pegs and wooden stakes. The spade was purpose-built for deep research and features a unique shape that allows it to push easily through the dirt. Finally, the axe portion is smaller than most as it is designed as more of a brush clearing tool, rather than a pure chopper.
