Hookeroon

Quick Overview

• Forged tool steel head. Made in USA. Tapered pick end is hand sharpened by experienced hands.
• Heat treated working end produces fine grain structure and Rc 45-55 (Rockwell Hardness Values) for safety, edge holding and toughness.
• Body coated with red enamel to deter rust.
• 36" 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.
• The assembled tool is drilled and a steel bolt inserted to lock head, handle and wedge together.
