I have one of those somewhere..
they're pretty neat, but I noticed that it tends to work loose and have to be retightened, and then after using it for a while, I have had to hammer on it to get it loose due to dirt in the threads.
I stopped using it as I'm either coinshooting, and for me it was too big, or doing other things, then I go to the Gerber.
god I love that Gerber.

these are pretty neat though, what did you pay if I may ask?
I think mine was super cheap, so it's not a bad value.

Is that also a pick attachment??

not to jump the poster's question, but I saw this has been a while,
Yes, it is a pick, folds out.
In my opinion it's kinda flimsy, but that's relative I guess.
I think I paid like 9.00 for mine.

I have one of them also, they tend to flex too much, are heavy, and like someone else said the bolt comes loose and you need to retighten it. This is the best mini relic shovel i've found http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_07183461000P?keyword=shovel its cheap, light, great to dig with, and mine lasted me for years.
that's a lot of shovel for 10.00.... Not bad.
