Council Tools Dayton Axe (3.5 lbs) with 36" Fiberglass Handle

Top quality axe from Council Tools. Council has been making hand tools since 1886, and they set the standard for quality and design. The Dayton axe is perfect for most chopping and felling duties, and the design originates from the Dayton, Ohio area. The axe head is drop forged and tempered to Rc 48-55 which exceeds ANSI standards, and painted with black enamel and clear lacquer to deter rust. The 36" handle has a structural fiberglass core with an injection molded jacket acting as an exterior body. The jacket is tough, durable engineered polymer. Extremely strong, non-conductive and is non-corrosive. The axe head is joined to the handle with a strong resilient epoxy, forming a chemical and mechanical bond. The interior detail of the eye is tapered and allows for a strong mechanical bond.
