The DEF Company's sapper shovels are often referred to as "army" or "infantry". They can be used not only for digging, but also for chopping, chopping and cutting, if you sharpen the blade.
Reliability
The key reliability factor is the blade material - 65G grade hardened steel rail (spring-loaded) 1.6 mm thick. This steel is characterized by high strength and low weight, which allows the shovel to withstand significant loads.
The Russian army DIF Company shovels differ favorably in quality from their Chinese counterparts.
The handle is made of high-quality wood (for example, birch), which ensures the strength and durability of the structure. In some models, the handle is fixed with rivets rather than welding, which increases the reliability of the connection.
The company provides a long-term warranty for shovels - 15 years. This indicates the manufacturer's confidence in the quality of its products.
Versatility of DIF Company sapper shovels: areas of application
The DIF Company sapper shovels are a multifunctional tool that, thanks to its thoughtful design and high-quality materials, finds application in a wide variety of fields. Let's look at the key areas of use.
Tourism and outdoor activities
A shovel is indispensable when organizing a camp:
- digging small fire pits in compliance with fire safety regulations;
- arranging a place for a tent (leveling the site, removing roots and stones);
- creation of drainage grooves to drain water in case of rain;
- digging holes for waste disposal according to the principles of "green" tourism;
- construction of windbreaks from soil or snow.
The compact size (52 cm in length) and weight of about 620 g make it easy to carry the shovel in a backpack.
Hunting
In hunting practice, a shovel solves a number of specific tasks:
- masking shooting positions (creating trenches, filling tracks);
- digging of trap pits (in regions where it is allowed);
- clearing the approaches to the seating areas;
- bait extraction (digging worms, rhizomes);
- emergency shelter arrangements in case of an overnight stay.
The strength of 65G steel allows you to work even with frozen ground during early hunting.
Fishing
In reservoirs, a shovel is useful for:
- digging approaches to the shore in overgrown areas;
- creation of depressions for storing catch in ice (in winter);
- setting up a fishing area (cutting hummocks, leveling the area);
- extraction of bait (worms, moths) from the coastal soil;
- clearing the space for installing boats and equipment.
The water-repellent cover protects the instrument from corrosion in contact with water.

In the car, the shovel becomes a survival tool:
- digging a car out of a snow captivity or mud jam;
- creating rollback stops on slopes;
- clearing the way after landslides or falling trees;
- installation of emergency signs (anchoring in the ground).
Emergency situations
A shovel can save lives in emergency situations:
- digging shelters in case of natural disasters;
- clearing rubble after collapses;
- creation of fire protection strips in case of forest fires;
- arrangement of temporary sanitary zones;
- water extraction (digging wells in sandy soils).
Additional features
Thanks to the hardened steel of the blade (1.6 mm), the shovel can be adapted to non-standard tasks:
- sharpen the edge for cutting branches and shrubs;
- use as a lever when moving weights;
- use it as a support when crossing streams (in conjunction with sticks);
- build primitive tools (for example, an ice scraper).
Some models are equipped with a canvas cover with a genuine leather strap. The case protects the shovel from wear and damage, and the water-repellent impregnation increases its practicality. The straps securely lock the shovel in the case, which is convenient for transportation.
