German Army Folding Shovel according to TL – 3-piece Entrenching Tool incl. Pouch

Bundeswehr Folding Shovel according to TL – The robust triple-folding shovel for every application

This folding shovel is a high-quality reproduction based on the original TL (Technical Guidelines) of the Bundeswehr and an absolute must for outdoor enthusiasts, campers, and serious emergency preparedness. The so-called BW triple-folding shovel owes its name to its intelligent, 3-part foldable design. This allows it to be folded extremely compactly and fits perfectly into the included BW field shovel pouch with practical belt attachment.

This outdoor shovel is a true multi-tool: The sturdy twist lock allows the tool to be securely locked in two different positions. Thus, it can be used not only as a classic spade or shovel, but also as a highly practical hoe. An integrated saw edge on the shovel blade also enables quick and effortless sawing of smaller branches.

Thanks to the extremely robust and well-designed combination of materials, the shovel can withstand even heavy loads. The shovel blade is made of hardened steel, while the handle and grip are made of lightweight but very resistant aluminum. This means even moderately heavy soil can be levered and worked on without problems.
