Got a new compact 3-in-1 shovel for my birthday...

AHHH but the most important question is, "Does the bottle opener work as promised?"
I think you should try that out before using the shovel for anything else.

DW knows I love my gadgets for the ol' RV so she ordered a folding shovel for my birthday.

Item description says:

Ingenious 3-in-1 design puts a shovel, saw and bottle opener at your fingertips. Sturdy saw teeth cut through branches, roots and undergrowth. Heavy duty handle extension for faster easier digging. Built-in bottle opener is perfect for popping off the top of a cold beverage when your work is done.

I think it was the part that says "Ideal for camping, car and RVs" that must have got her attention.

*Sounds* terrific! This is what I got. Saw can't even cut through a peeled banana. Might be good for something, just not sure yet what for. :B

Re gift it back to the wife for her next birthday. Right "Garden Shovel" on the face of it and tell her that it's for planting flowers around the house or in the garden.

The GI folding shovels always worked well, got a saw edge on them too. See if you can trade it in or save that one for potted plants, it is good for a chuckle.

Better to have it and never need it, than to need it and not have it. But, it does look "cute" rather than functional. But, you just never know. :) :)

I have to admit tho', sometimes words in an AD defy reality.

I am so glad I clicked on this. It is cold, windy, cloudy and rain is called for....it's just an ugly day. This post has just absolutely tickled me to death. I have laughed out loud...yeah, lol'd. I just keep giggling about it.

I guess the reason was that the picture did not show up until after I had read the description and then I scrolled down to see it. Yes, I am still laughing while typing this.

Oh, and Happy belated Birthday.

Christmas is coming, re-gift it to your DW. She'll be thrilled. :)

First of all, Happy Birthday to you!! Ya, that's kind of a neat little shovel. It will stow most anywhere in an RV. Oh, and if you let the banana set for a few days, it will soften, and the saw will work great. :)

Ya know, at least it won't take up much space and we won't go over our GVWR either.

My birthday was April 1st. I think DW thought she was being funny but I didn't let on. :M

Looks like it might make a good back scratcher. :B

Hmmm, that sounds like a good idea. :B
