Also known as "Fireman's Axe", the pick head axe has a cutting bit on one end and a pick designed to penetrate on the other end. Used in all manner of municipal firefighting applications-chopping, battering, as a door stop and forcible entry.
- Forged tool steel head. Made in USA.
- Hand sharpened, tapered cutting edge.
- ANSI Standards call for bit hardness of Rc 45-60, at least ½ inch back from the cutting edge. Council Tool internal standards call for tempered bit hardness of Rc 48-55 and we target 1-1/4 inches from the cutting edge. The poll and eye walls are not hardened and remain in the as forged condition.
- Body coated with red enamel and the cutting edge in clear lacquer to deter rust.
- 14" American hickory handle. Eye section is dried to below 10% moisture content to minimize shrinkage and help prevent loosening.
- Axe head is hydraulically seated onto handle and secured with a serrated aluminum wedge. The serrated shape improves bite and the aluminum choice of material is strong, lightweight, and does not change size with moisture content.
- The interior detail of the eye is tapered and allows for a strong mechanical bond. Approximately 1/2" of overall length of the handle is removed during assembly.
