Its name was given to the trench instrument fromthe German word "schanze", which denotes a military fortification or trench. It is envisaged by the staffing schedule of almost all military units and is intended for the production of engineering works related to the erection of fortification structures and park work.
A standard trench tool is a shovel,scrap, pickaxe, ax, saw. In this case, it is divided into two types. The first of them is called carried. It is a standard tool that is attached to military equipment and can be used for construction, engineering and other types of work.
The second type of shantz instrument issapper blade, or, as it is called, infantry. It is a portable trench instrument that is issued to virtually every soldier. Until 1939, this type included a small ax and a pickaxe, which also went to the equipment of soldiers. At the same time, the whole tool of this type was small in size for easy carrying.
Currently, the trench instrumentis used universally, and due to the fact that at one time the majority of the male population of the country was in military service, this name migrated to the "citizen". At the same time, this name began to be called a construction and garden tool, which requires significant use of physical strength and manual work. It can include shovels, axes, sledge hammers, saws and picks.
Virtually the entire trench instrument is equippedwooden handles, which, when working actively, often break down and fail. Therefore, good masters prefer to purchase only metal parts of the tool, and handles are made independently of hardwoods. However, it is worth noting that a strongly hard tree can transmit unnecessary vibrations to the hands of a worker during work, so the choice of the breed should be approached thoroughly.
Also, the trench instrument is necessary constantlykeep in proper condition. It must be protected from moisture (to avoid rust) and sharpen the working surface. Thanks to a well-sharpened tool, many soldiers won whole battles, using it as a melee weapon, and some special-purpose units learn a special technique of combat using sapper blades.
In the household, the trench toolattracted everywhere, but the great success is enjoyed by an infantry scapula. Due to its small size and convenient carrying, it is often carried in the trunk of many car enthusiasts, and when traveling to nature it is simply irreplaceable.
In the hands of a true master tool canto perform real miracles. With the help of a traditional ax in ancient times carpenters made kitchen furniture, big houses and even ships that made long voyages. The tool has always been considered a vital necessity in survival and in the arrangement of everyday life, so for the real master it is always in perfect condition.
