Blast From The Past – The Chinese Entrenching Tool

This may prove to be the most entertaining 8:46 of your life, or the most terrifying if you consider the Chinese horde all armed to the teeth with these shovels. It slices, it dices, it juliennes. Truth be told, a couple of the features such as the “scissor” and nail puller are pretty cool, but music and effects make this one worth the price of admission. Make sure you stay long enough to see the entrenching tool museum.

    That’s awesome.
    With the music, I kept expecting Yul Brenner to ride up.
    I have to say they got us beat on that, I think I broke tbree of our tri-fold and that was just digging…

    Instant paddle…I wonder what kind of videos they can drum up to make a broom look appealing. Is that superman theme music…it sounds familiar.

    They’re probably saying “I don’t know why we have to do all this shit…I could be home right now drinking a Tsingtao watching the game…”

    The secret stuff they dont show you is what happens when you get a squad’s worth together…

    That was like a bad Asian episode of Bonanza. Truth be told I want one. Think it comes in U.S. measurements

  7. Paul Weaver says:

    The music was very much like the main music in Silverado

  8. FLC says:

    They took the best option out: When you push a button on the handle the shovel launches, and comes spinning at you like a throwing star.
