THE LOBO (standard infantry entrenchment tool)
Loading...
Uploaded by jdbsks on Dec 18, 2011
In the book "World War Z" by Max Brooks, page 146 contains a description of a tool officially called the "standard infantry entrenchment tool" aka THE LOBO, or lobotomizer. I do not recall any other descriptions of the LOBO (If you know of one, please let me know). I fabricated mine from 3/4" pipe and an old rusty WW2 era US Army entrenching tool blade (the original wood handle was long gone). The pipe handle is just over 30". There is a "T" handle that is approximately 8" wide. The "T" handle is welded. I drilled 2 holes in the other end of the pipe handle to correspond with the existing holes in the E-tool blade. I do not recall the hole diameter or the size of the screws I used. I then welded the screws in place. If I were doing this over, I would have made a "D" shaped handle instead of a "T" shaped handle. I sharpened the e-tool blade with an angle grinder. This actually makes for a decent shovel. Another improvement I might make in the future might be some sort of shock absorbing grip. Any suggestions?

The way this guy reads WWZ is like the way I've seen lots of people read the bible out loud. :D
