Crovel: If You Only Get One Tool to Fend Off a Zombie Invasion

May 3rd, 2011 by: Shane McGlaun

The Crovel is an awesome looking survival tool and I really want one even though I have no need for a short spade to dig with. This thing may well be the tool best suited for a life on the run from zombie hoards ever invented. It can dig so you can bury those smelly zombies after you club them to death with one of three implements of zombie killing.

The Crovel has a handle with a pic axe on one end. The space end of the shovel has a serrated saw on one side and a knife-edge on the other. This thing will slice and dice zombies all week long. The other side of that crow bar/pickaxe is a hammer.

The handle is wrapped in 15-feet of 550 paracord so you can climb to safety if need be. This very interesting tool has 13 tools for all sorts of tasks. It looks like that notch under the serrated edge might be for opening the last beer on earth. The Crovel sells for about $99 (USD).

    No, Glock 17, 10 17 round mags filled and 5,000 rounds loose … for starters. And yes, some of us ARE prepared regardless of what the children think and do.

    Do you have the stamina to swing any kind of instrument “all day long”? Why not try that now and see how quickly you tire?

      as opposed to carrying 5000 rounds of ammo, a gun, and 10 17 round clips…. yea, ill go with a crovel.

    • Andrew says:

      So you’re gonna carry around 80 pounds of ammo everywhere? Yea, you’re gonna die. If you’re in a situation where you need more than 2 magazines you are going to die anyway, especially if you’re carrying around an 80 pound anchor. You might as well take the thing that weighs probably ~5 pounds, can be used indefinitely, and can saw, cut,dig, hammer, and pry.

    No doubt in my mind, everyone should be properly prepared for that Zombie attack, Don’t you think?

  4. Duder says:

    Deff need guns and ammo. This looks nice. But odds are you will run into more than 2 zombies. Where this is useless. After digging some of the teeth and the blade would get worn. That pic axe thing is a last resort kinda tool.

  5. Nate says:

    People don’t seem to understand how risky melee combat with zombies is. With traditional zombies any sort of contact or fluid exchange, no matter how microscopic, means you’re dead, you’re fucking dead. If they scratch you, you’re dead. If you decapitate them and get the smallest amount of blood in your eyes or mouth, you’re dead. Those who survive the zombie apocalypse are the ones who never see a single one. There would be a lot of dead bobies with this tool lying next to ‘em because they thought a shovel could save them

    a good tool, but not for zombies

  7. Jeff says:

    Because I’d dig a hole to hide from zombies…NOT. Everyone knows down is the WORST place to go when the zombies show up. Look it up. Boom roasted.

  8. Chris says:

    Good tool for any sort of apocalypse but not so much as a weapon. If I am guna get an up close kinda weapon it’s guna be a short version of a Samari sword so it can b used inside. Def need guns too tho. Best idea to survive, go steal a yacht and anchor it in middle of bay or lake. Use small boat to go back and forth. Can fish and get water. Now survive…

  9. DYWM says:

    I bet that the same bunch of juvenile hipster minds that actually f@cking talk like a ‘zombie apocalypse’ is real are the people who make fun of those who believe in something based on the oldest nation in history, the most influential person in history, and the all-time most-read, best-selling book in history.
