THAT THE SHELL JUST POPS OFF AND THERE IS A FULL ON BUMP HELMET UNDERNEATH HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE COOLEST POINT OF THE M1 FOR ME

THE SHELL ALSO DOUBLES AS A BUCKET OR BASKET OR SHOVEL, AND ITS FAR BETTER AT SCOOPING LOOSE DIRT OUT THAN THE TEENIE WEENIE SHOVELHEAD ON THE E-TOOL

JUST SPRAY THE DINGED UP AREAS WITH OD RUSTOLEUM AND ITS GOOD AS NEW
