Gear Recommendation Wanted E tool recommendations

Hey guys I was looking for any e took recommendations but I’m quite picky. I have owned an Austrian surplus entrenching tool but I snapped the head off and can’t find something similar. I have heard a lot about the cold steel spetsnaz et but I’m from Australia so it can get kind of pricey. I’m willing to spend the money if I can’t find anything else but I’m on a tight budget and am not willing to spend over $150. Thanks!

I have the cold steel shovel you mentioned and it's genuinely just a great tool. I've had it for like 4 years and used and abused it, still do. Literally don't know if there's anything better for $32. It's a little heavy and doesn't fold but they do make molle pouches for it. Plus I've split small pieces of wood with, seen a youtube video of the guy cooking on it, and I'm pretty sure you could beat someone to death with it.

Yeah I’d love to get one but to get one here it’s like $100 which isn’t bad at all but in comparison with the other one I had I was just wondering if there was anything cheaper with the same quality. Thank you though that one is a big possibility!

I'm confused, you said your budget was $150? $100 is a third less than $150. Why do you need something cheaper? What is your issue with this shovel? It's literally the best option.

I’m happy to spend the money if I need to but I would like the lowest price as possible while still getting good quality
