Truper Pulaski Axe, 3.5 lb Forged Steel Head, 35-Inch American Hickory Wood Handle, Dual-Purpose Grub Hoe and Chopping Blade, Heavy-Duty Forestry & Firefighting Tool (Model PU-3-1/2M / 14966)

I really enjoy using this thing. It feels very high quality. I've put it through the paces and had no issues as the other reviewers have had. I sharpen it regularly. I checked out some other types that were either plastic handle (just doesn't feel the same!) or crazy expensive (Council Tool). This the perfect value. Counci Tool seems to have come down in price a bit and has a 3.75 lb version. One of the best features: it doubles as a walking stick! Kinda like an ice axe for mountaineering, this is a tool for foresters. If I'm going out in the forest to do some recon (for surveying for example) this is the go-to tool. Walk, chop, dig.

Solid quality tool. I'm a retired firefighter of 33 years. A Pulaski was always my favorite wildland fire tool, so when it came to manging the jungle on my Kauai property, this tool was the right choice for cutting brush and grubbing the duff. Tool is well built with a nice hardwood handle ( I sanded off the smooth finish for better grip) the tool head is mounted solid and holds a nice edge when sharpened. If you're in the market, this one won't dissapoint.

Excellent axe head. Hickory wood handle sloppily mounted at the neck. I will sand out the clunky mount-work. Still, a sturdy tool.

Ok have a fenceline with decade old volunteer trees, mostly overgrown privot and the only way to prevent them from suckering back is to tear out the root ball. The pulaski takes that job from hours to minutes vs a shovel and mattock. As far as build goes this isn't fancy. The blade and handle are mostly unfinished. No polish to the blade and the handle is dry wood. Bit the blade is for grubbing in the dirt and rocks so you don't need or want a highly honeable edge, and the handle easily accepted a treatment of boiled linseed oil (blo) to help shed dirt. I probably wouldn't try to use one on a fire crew, but it's a very serviceable tool. Would be nice to get an economical nylon blade cover to go with it.

This Pulaski axe has a fantastic American hickory handle that held up through two months of beating on three tough dogwood stumps. Unfortunately, the head itself is total trash. The metal is way too soft from bad heat-treating—the axe blade folded and the mattock nearly snapped off on the very first root. It's frustrating because the handle is great, but since you can't reuse it without ruining it, the whole tool is a waste. Save your money and pass on this one.

Great tool, Pulaski axe

So this is a cheap axe. The hoe/ adze is small and the handle has sap wood in it and could hung farther down the handle but again it is a cheap axe. That being said the head is finished pretty nice. I gave 3 stars but again for a cheap axe its not bad. Just be aware.

I use this axe for chopping tree roots that have come out of the ground high enough that the mower blades contact them.

Ferramenta impressionante, muito boa.

needed this axe to fulfill an order for a firefighter… and this is what shows up. Really UNACCEPTABLE to be sent a used piece of garbage for 100$. DIDNT EVEN COME WITH BLADE GAURDS.

En base al costo del producto la calidad es buena, tenia dudas de si soportaría el uso rudo y hasta el momento no a fallado ni perdido filo.

Es muy buena,por un lado hacha y por el otro talacho muy practica y funcional,de buen peso y mango de Nogal.Es de muy buena calidad.Amazon la envio a tiempo y bien empacada.

Espectacular relacion longitud peso y equilibrio. Muy sólida y de buen agarre.
