@Lewis -

I think the idea isn't for the shovel to do everything spectacularly, but to do it all decently. The major reason this is a good idea for them is that they can issue these to every (or almost every) soldier. So if they get into a situation that requires one of the said tools, in a desperate situation, they can use it for said purposes.

Because in a battlezone, lets face it, they aren't going to be carrying tons of extra hammers, wire cutters, or such.

Of course.  In a battle zone, I'm going to have my bottle of champagne but no bottle opener and my canoe with no oars, or my nails with no hammer!!  But when I did some research and found out that that video was actually recorded and uploaded to youtube with just a shovel, my tune changed!!

That shovel is awesome!!

I hear that steve jobs is buying them by the bucketload and spraypainting them white and will soon announce the iShovel. I'm actually typing this message out and viewing this page on my shovel.
