Compartmentalized Survival Shovels

This Outdoor Shovel Has Multiple Tools Hidden Inside the Handle

— February 26, 2016 — Art & Design
The Survival Shovel is an outdoor shovel that goes beyond the functionality of a standard model by offering a multitude of tools hidden inside the hollowed out handle. Each tool is divided up into a different compartment and can be used individually in a variety of situations and scenarios.

The Survival Shovel makes great use of the space and design by optimizing handle's shape which goes virtually unused between the blade and the hand grip. The handle is made from high quality aluminum and each part is detachable providing a different tool such as a saw, axe, ruler, wire cutter and even bottle opener. The various tools can be access by unscrewing the part of the shovel handle they are attached to.
