Great overall tool
I dont even know where to start with this thing. This tool is amazing and does exackly as advertised. I got this shovel with the extensions for 75usd and free overnight shipping. The metal is really strong and hard to sharpen lol. I used it today as a hoe to plant 100roses and some bamboo trees. It was super fast to learn how to use the shovel and worked great. The extensions are a must have for this product/tool. The extensions came in a really nice bag but the extensions fit perfect in the nornal bag so im going to use the extensions bag for two lifestraws. The whistle works great. The small knife with the saw was great. Really nice product. The weight even with the extensions is not alot at all and wouldnt mind carrying it all day if needed. I highly recommend this product by fivejoy.

it is more a shovel, super cool item
I was looking for a shovel to clean my garden and found it accidentally. It is a bit more pricey than an ordinary shovel, but I think it is worth to buy it. The material of this shovel is super sturdy and it is easy to clean. I like its design, cuz it is used as a shovel or a hoe based on the degree between bar and metal piece. It should be made of high-quality stainless steel. It also comes with two extension handle, a small saw and a magnesium rod as accessories, which should be useful for camping.

Awesome tool
The shovel is well built, sturdy, and hefty. Doesn't feel cheap at all - which isn't. Everyone needs one of these in their car(s). I can only imagine what you'll go through if your car gets stuck in 2 feet of snow. It will also be good to have if you take your 4x4 onto the beach during the summers. You can dig yourself out of sand if you get stuck. Overall, it is a very functional tool everyone should own. I really like the black sheath/pouch that it comes with. I also ordered the extensions, and everything fits in there nice and snug. Get yourself one, or two. You won't be disappointed. It also makes for a great gift/stocking stuffer.

I have both the C1 and this RS model and both are very good for what they are.
This is a great piece of gear to have around, whether at home, in the car/truck, or RV. I also have the C1 which is smaller and lighter, but it stays on my backpack. I have done some diggin with it and using it as a hoe and it performed solidly on both tasks. The included saw/knife is pretty sharp and has no problems shaving wood or sawing notches. The only thing that I would like to see improved upon, is the size of the firesteel. The handle diameter is certainly large enough to include a larger firesteel. The bigger the firesteel, the more sparks it throws and betters your chances of lighting the tinder on the first try. I recommend storing good old cotton balls in the knife compartment for a ready source of dry tinder that takes a spark very well. The whistle is indeed very loud! By all means, sharpen the edges of the shovel if you need to, but they are not finely sharpened as delivered for safety reasons(the company has stated this). So I knocked off 1 star because I feel the included firesteel could be a bit more substantial. BTW, I have the extension handles and they will fit in the shovel pouch so it’s not necessary to carry two pouches. I’d also like to see a few more color choices for the pouch. Black is out of place with the rest of my gear. Overall, unless you happen to get one that is defective, which happens with all products from time to time, you should be very pleased with the value for the money spent.

Awesome shovel! Mine came a couple of days ago ...
Awesome shovel! Mine came a couple of days ago and I've already used it to shovel holes in hard soil for several hours straight (helping a friend plant a peach orchard). The blade is beefy and sharp (but not too sharp to have out around kids) and you can really step down on it to get it to bite, and took on the handle to lever out dirt. Folds up small but isn't feather weight - I wouldn't take it backpacking but it will be perfect to stow in the back of our diesel truck/camper for off road emergencies or just tasks around camp. The handle extension is important if you actually intend to shovel with this, I wouldn't consider purchasing the shovel alone without the handle extension. I will note that you have to be careful about twisting the shovel handle in a counterclockwise direction when pulling it out of hard dirt as it can unscrew the segments of the handle, and when you take it apart after shoveling for a while the pieces can get screwed together pretty tightly. Came apart fine with a bit of elbow grease though.

Bigger than expected
This is a great shovel. Much better than the knock off that I have from that large, Asian country that shares it's name with fancy dinner plates. In my opinion, this is too large for backpacking, which is what I got it for. I think I'll leave this one in my car or van or take it when I car camp. I think I will add the smaller one to my wishlist and grab it when I have the money and the spare weight in my pack. It is sturdy and the metal is thick. The accessories are nested in metal and not cheap plastic. The knife is sharp and I highly recommend keeping the little rubber piece that sheaths it. Nice bit of kit and kicks a Mil-Spec E-Tool's ass any day.

GOOD SOLID PRODUCT THAT NEEDS THE EXTENSIONS (sold separately)
Gets the job done but it is strongly recommended purchasing the extensions offered by Amazon. The extensions will definitely make your choirs actually tolerable.

The superior quality of FiveJoy's multi-tool impelled me to write this ...
It's rare, very rare, for me to be impressed beyond my expectations about a tool I order; especially after I spend countless hours researching the product. The superior quality of this multi-tool impelled me to write this review. Is it hype, marketing, corporate words? I was not expecting this multi-tool to be so stout, well-built and so functional. After 14 days of extensive, heavy use dry camping from the Oregon coast to the Southern Oregon interior, in my humble opinion, this tool is essential for every camper, rv owner, hard core packer, prepper..for that matter any vehicle owner. I tested it, from the coast of Oregon to it's mountain innards, it works. It digs, cuts, chops, saws effortlessly. With the pack it comes with, it now houses my other 4 essential tools.

Bought this and the extension handles. Both are very well made. O rings seal the threaded sections together. Tried the tool used as an axe, cross grain on a downed, dried out tree. Did an acceptable job. Locked the tool into the shovel position and tried it on sun baked badlands soil. Very good as both shovel and adze positions.Pried with the head embedded into sandstone, sand, rock mixture and no issues. This tool folds up to a very compact size and so far has been excellent. Bought a second unit to use in another vehicle as part of the emergency kit.

Compacted, solid and great for your recreation vehicles where space is limited. Had a super fast delivery.

Overall, I’m happy with it but... - the handle grip comes loose and slips around. - not the best carrying bag as the saw blade is subject to damage - joint pin connecting handle and head comes loose with harsh use. There are plenty of thing to love like... - flint is big and good quality - saw blade is pretty good - shovel head is thick quality steel. Just be careful to make sure that the pin keeping the head attached to the handle doesn’t come loose and fly into the bush...)
