The Glock ET17070 Entrenching Tool delivers military-grade functionality in a compact, multi-position design that adapts to various field conditions. This tactical shovel combines Glock's renowned build quality with practical field utility for outdoor professionals, military personnel, and emergency preparedness enthusiasts.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard fixed-blade entrenching tools, the ET17070 features three distinct positioning angles that transform it from a traditional shovel to a hoe or pick configuration. The surface-treated black polymer construction resists corrosion and impact damage while maintaining a lightweight profile. The integrated saw teeth inside the handle provide additional cutting capability without requiring separate tools.
Key Features
- Three-position adjustment system for versatile digging angles
- Surface-treated black polymer blade resists rust and corrosion
- Integrated saw teeth built into handle for cutting tasks
- Reinforced steel blade edge for penetrating hard soil and roots

Field testing demonstrates reliable performance across various soil conditions, from loose sand to compacted clay. The adjustable blade angle proves particularly effective when digging foxholes, drainage channels, or fire breaks where different attack angles optimize efficiency. The saw feature handles branch removal and basic wood processing tasks without dulling the primary digging edge.
