An entrenching tool, E-tool, or trenching tool is a collapsible spade used by military forces for a variety of military purposes. Modern entrenching tools are usually collapsible and made using steel, aluminum, or other light metals.
Entrenching tools, if strongly built, can also be used as ancillary weapons. Some entrenching tools can be even sharpened on one or both sides of the blade to be used as cutting tools or weapons; in fact, when used as such, the tool's sharp, thick edges are strong enough to cut through flesh and bone.
