Advantages

Allows the player to dig through walls, making exploration of areas with locked doors much easier.
If the player has pre-release content enabled, they can create staircases when out of combat, allowing for much easier exploration of the underground.
Being able to dig through walls gives the player several tactical advantages, such as the ability to create bottlenecks or break line of sight with ranged enemies.
Grants between 1 and 3 AV depending on the level, which is comparable to boar-skin gloves, steel gauntlets, and carbide gauntlets, respectively.

Disadvantages

Takes up a hands slot, but the AV does not scale well enough to compensate.
Penetration bonus only applies to walls.
