Romanian Entrenching Tool
It’s not the MPL-50 technically….. But its literally the same thing just made in Romania.
Everyone recognizes the ICONIC Soviet/Warsaw Pact E-Tool. A short spade, often with a sharpened edge. These things are super tough and were used from WW2 until.. Well! The MPL-50, which this is a copy of, is still in use! They’re handy not only for digging but as an improvised paddle, an improvised frying pan and for measuring as the dimensions are standardized (we wouldn’t recommend this due to ComBloc QC issues with lots of equipment).
ALL of these are fairly dirty and deserve a wipe down with some wet paper towel and some appear to not have seen much use and still have cosmoline on the blade! Regardless, give them a clean and tighten up the screw that stakes the handle to the tool and take it away and be the coolest gardener on the block.
