### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Genuine E-tool
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2023*

This is the genuine rugged (and heavy) E-tool that I recall from my Army days (years).  Lightly used but in nearly new condition.

    Still the best execution of a now ubiquitous milspec.
  

*by J***K on Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2020*

My first Ames produced, surplus etool lasted 25 years in my truck box, saving my ass on equipment pad repairs regularly, up until my son tried to use it as an axe. I believe it was stamped "82".  The one purchased here is stamped "03". The Ames production remains the best milspec execution of a now ubiquitous trifold design.I tried out the Glock etool, as I heard it was standard issue to Austrian infantry, and because I've had good luck with my 17 and 27. Those guys must have softer soils than the compacted red clay just under the sandy topsoils here. The Glock seems suitable for scat holes, but not for "digging in".  I have fried rabbit quarters on the Ames blade over campfire coals. It's good for moving hot coals also. I suppose fire/cooking duty may effect blade temper on the Ames, but I'm pretty sure that 500°F heat would put the polymer handled Glock tool out of service.. The tri-fold Ames is superior in all regards, except for overall weight. Choose Ames for work/extended camping/hunting, and Glock for light backpacking where shaving ounces matters more than ease of use, utility, durability and reliability. Go Ames tri-fold if you can own only one. BTW, the serrations are easily sharpened with a medium bastard cut mill file for root work. Just don't swing it into large roots sideways, like an axe. That will lead to immediate, catastrophic failure of the pivot joint, leaving you with only something to fry eggs on.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Works great

I'm happy it came with the cover. Still has the dirt on it from where it was used last...LOL!
