As described if not better. Bought it for my son. The tool attachments are solid and easy to change out. The shovel has a good poi t and shape. The hatchet head is solid with a clean edge. The knife and saw blade are sharpe and nicely designed. Only concern is the thin aluminum shaft. It makes it light weight but unsure whether it will handle the force that will be used for the attachments. Will review again once he has used each one.

The first time I tried to put it on a belt the seams on the belt loops ripped loose. I bought this for camping but I would not want to trust it in a wilderness setting. While the shovel should work alright I am leery of using the ax as the shaft of the handle does not seem to be heavy enough, I believe that with a hard swing the handle will break or bend. Also there is no plug to close the bottom of the handle making it possible for the knife and saw blades to fall out of the handle.

My first impression upon opening my new purchase.... If you pay more then $4 or $5 (or as I did -$12) for this "Ultimate Survival Emergency Camping Hiking Knife Shovel Ax Saw Gear Kit", your likely to suffer from a bit of P.T.S.D. (post traumatic SUCKA disorder) upon arrival. "Ultimate".... Reeaaallllly? I thought it was a cool concept (which is why I bought it) for a pack-able, portable, multi tool and I still think it is, in concept. In actuality however, the realized product seems to be lacking the quality and finish I believe is needed to make it truly useful right out of the box in the real world of the average camper, much less so, in a survival scenario where this tool may be in high demand because its yours or your families (we are 6 people) ONLY shovel, ax, saw, or heaven forbid, knife. With that said however, I believe with a little DIY tenacity, all is not lost. But be prepared to pay for with your time what you did not pay for with your wallet. I'm out 12 bucks so I have convinced myself that I can and will "fix" it (with $200 - $300 worth of my time). I have not used this "Ultimate Survival Gear Kit" yet because I just received it today and, frankly neither the kit or I are ready. What you get in the kit, my opinion of it, and the fixes I'm planning to spend a fair bit of time on; 1. A fairly well designed sheath with 2 belt loops made as cheaply as could be (Lee Iacocca would be proud). Single stitching, thin material and a stiff snap = not long for this world. The Fix; before it falls apart reinforce all stitching, loosen / lube the snap or replace with quality hook and loop. 2. A small shovel attachment with a bottle opener on it. Thin but seems sturdy. Fits snugly on the business end of the handle. No fix needed (yet). 3. Ax attachment w/small nail pulling notch fits snugly on the business end of the handle. It appears to have a hollow grind but is so dull its only uses might be as digging assistant or to inflict blunt force trauma on a would be attacker, zombie, or evil clown. The fix; Sharpen the cutting edge and the nail pull notch. 4. A thin (1/16"), very dull 6" long drop point knife blade with a 4" hollow grind, a gut hook 1.5" back of the tip, and a bottle opener 3.5" back from the tip. There is about a 1/4" hole at the back of the tang as if to be used to hang the blade from a nail, peg, or string. Because the tang secures in the handle with a single spring button and the handle is so much larger then the tang, the blade swings like a pendulum from the handle with the tip flopping up and down about 2". The fix; Sharpen the 4" blade, drill a 1/4" hole through the handle to match the hole in the back of the tang and use a 1/4" cotterless hitch pin as a second fastener to stop the blade from moving so much. 5. A thin (1/16"), 6" long, 7 TPI pull saw blade. Reminds me of a sawzall blade. There is about a 1/4" hole at the back of the tang as if to be used to hang the blade from a nail, peg, or string. Same problem as the knife blade. Because the tang secures in the handle with a single spring button and the handle is so much larger then the tang, the blade swings like a pendulum from the handle with the tip flopping up and down about 2". The fix; Use the same hole drilled in the handle for the knife and the same cotterless hitch pin to secure the blade and limit its movement. 6. A 1" diameter very thin wall (less then 1/32) What appears to be stainless steel tube handle. Its light weight and feels strong due to being cylindrical but 1 bad swing of the ax could dent the handle against whatever your chopping causing the handle to fold like a beer can. The blades when attached to the handle flop up and down and when stored inside the handle, there is nothing but a little friction holding one of them in place. The Fix; cover the handle with a thin piece of pipe insulating foam to help absorb the impact of a bad swing. drill 2, 1/4" holes (1 at each end of the handle) and add a 1" long 1/4" diameter cotterless hitch pin to the kit. Use the cotterless hitch pin to secure the blade to the business end of the handle when in use. Use the cotterless hitch pin to secure the blade inside the handle when not in use. Suggestions; They should have some accessories for sale to expand the uses of this gadget, like kitchen tools for cooking. Spatula tongs, serving spoon, skewer, etc.Read full review

In theory this is a really great tool. Where they went wrong is have China manufacture it. The handle is super thin sheet metal. The attachments are held together by rivets. While not totally wrong they should also be welded to secure them to the attachment. You can tell the metal is cheaper and is an alloy. The mistake I made is not researching this tool before purchase. I saw videos on a certain social media site where the tools basically fell apart or just broke in use. Not even being abused. Do your research on multiple sites looking at reviews and videos and you will come to the conclusion that it is not worth the money.

Decent quality, handy to keep in the trunk of your car or to take camping. I added fire starting supplies and it’s a nice campfire-building kit. Lightweight. Light duty. Price is very reasonable for what you receive.
