By all accounts they are pretty effective and bomb proof. The only concern, if I was to use it as a 'recovery' spade, is its short handle (one needs to reach to the centre of the chassis if one has got bellied in the desert :)).

What kind of improvements would you be looking for?

Longer handle being one of them. :)

I have both of the folding spade models. The German and the Austrian i think? I purchased both because I wanted to inspect both mechanisms side by side.

I was thinking , for winter use , a large shovel head that could be wing nut tightened to the main head for moving larger quantities of snow. So would be a large Alu shovel head that could be connected to the main shovel head as and when needed

Other modding design ideas to be , ermm... ironed out. <need rum to ruminate... >

Got it on offer but one of htose Jetboil crunchit recycling tools... I've built up a few cans which are "empty" and this tool allows you to knock a hole in it and recycle it.

I'm sure there are other ways... hammer and a nail? But this seems a little more civilised...

You can get an adapter(I got mine off fleabay) for a couple of quid.Get those "long" butane cannisters,adapter fits into your small cannister,then push down on larger cannister,voila.
I’ve got one of those little brass adaptors, they work really well. These:


A top tip is to put the receiver can in the freezer and the donor can on a radiator before transferring the liquid, gives a good fill.

Is there one that goes from screw on cannister to screw on cannister.?

Campingmoon one, with optional extra adaptors from Amazon UK though seems a bit expensive.
