There's a great display of bench skills in the classic JC film 'Young Master'

Also I want one of those shovels!

The point of using bizarre household items as weapons is nothing new. In CMA or in MA in general. You would probably use it the same way as a spear plus you could use a diagonal slash type attack

If war with China ever breaks out, I sure hope we have a solution for this:

Actually. Thats a pretty impressive multi-function E-Tool right there. I have always liked the straight handled shovels of the "com-bloc" countries vs the tubular steel ones we had. BTW do we still issue that style of e-tool?

That piece of **** video was so craptacular I actually watched it all the way through. I wonder how many assholes broke their legs trying to demonstrate how to use that thing as a grappling hook.

Impressive, but I wonder what kind of problems the exposed knife and saw blades make while actually carrying this thing for long distances through rugged terrain. Seems like both these edges would be suspect to damage and to unintentionally damaging other things.
