The Pulaski axe is a versatile tool combining an axe and hoe, designed for cutting and digging to create fire defense lines in rocky terrain.
Crafted with a forged steel head, the Pulaski axe features heat-treated working ends, offering a fine grain structure and a Rockwell hardness of RC 45 to 55. This ensures superior safety, edge retention, and toughness. The red enamel-coated body, along with clear lacquer on the cutting edges, helps prevent rust. The hickory handle is dried to a moisture content below 10%, minimizing shrinkage and ensuring a secure fit.
The handle is attached to the head using a serrated aluminum wedge, made of lightweight, resistant material that won’t expand or contract with changing humidity or temperature. The serrated shape improves grip, while the elongated head fixing hole provides a strong and stable mechanical connection.
The Pulaski Axe is an essential firefighting tool, expertly combining an axe and hoe to provide maximum versatility in the field. Its sharp axe blade allows for efficient chopping of trees and branches, while the hoe end is perfect for digging and grubbing in rocky or hard soil. Designed to withstand tough conditions, this tool is ideal for creating firebreaks and clearing brush in challenging environments. The durable construction ensures it can handle the heavy demands of wildfire suppression. Whether you're cutting through dense vegetation or preparing a fireline, the Pulaski Axe is built to perform. Its design reduces fatigue, making it easier to work for longer periods without compromising effectiveness.
