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.

That's just awesome! I particularly liked that it could be used as an anchor

At first, I thought "If Batman had this shovel, he'd solve Gotham City's crime in like 7 minutes!" Then, the guy used a fucking shovel to hammer a nail. How the hell do you do that without smashing your fingers? And I can imagine inviting my friends over to a night of fine dining and champagne (pronounced: Sham-pag-knee) and opening my bottle of aged port with.....a shovel.

And using the shovel as an oar? As a knife to chop food? To measure distance? Why stop there? Why not use that shovel to flip giant pancakes? Why not use that shovel to dial your cell phone? And most obviously, why not use that shovel to bury your ass after you get killed trying to use a goddam shovel to climb a building?

I no longer fear the Chinese military.

I didn't realize you were such a coinosware.

And why not bury yourself?

Well, it's a bit hard to bury yourself when you're dead, but this shovel is so awesome it'll find a way.

hmmm... so I can kill someone with the sharp side.. measure her size, then cut her up wiith the saw in perfect 30 cm pieces and burry her.. if she fights back I can use the shield.. and if the cops would come after me I can use the anchor to escape to higher grounds... *orders right now*

America is fucked now. Chinese invasion coming soon. 1 billion chinese soldiers each with an AK-47 and one of these shovels will be invading!

It certainly looks like an impressive tool. However, I think those guys using it were impressive too. they had to have a lot of strength to do the majority of those things, regardless of the strength and versatility of the tool.

Also, I couldn't see how it would chop down a tree and cut through copper pipe. Does one side have a sharp edge like and axe and the other a serrated edge like a saw?

Wow, that pretty much does everything!
