Axes, Machetes, Hooks & Wedges
Available69 products
Axes, machetes, hooks, and wedges use their sharp edges to cut wood, brush, and other growth. Axes drive their wedged blade into wood to fell trees, remove branches, and split logs. Machetes use their long, broad blade to clear undergrowth, slice through stalks and stems, and remove twigs and small branches. Brush hooks and ditch bank blades have hooked blades that grab and slice through dense brush, vines, and undergrowth. Wedges split wood along its grain to create firewood or split large logs into smaller pieces.
Machetes
The long, broad blade of machetes clears undergrowth to maintain paths, slices through stalks and stems to harvest crops, and removes twigs and small branches. Their short handle allows one-handed control to wield the blade, leaving the other hand free to stabilize or gather materials being cut.

Splitting Mauls
The extra-long handle of these splitting mauls increases their swing arc to drive their thick, heavy head downward with greater force than a general purpose axe. Also called sledge-eye mauls, they have a cutting bit on one end and a striking face on the other end. The bit cuts like an axe head and the face drives splitting wedges into wood to split along the grain.

Non-Sparking Axes
Non-sparking axes contain no ferrous metals, so they resist creating sparks. This reduces the risk of ignition when making cuts in locations where combustible dust or flammable liquids, gas, or vapors are present. Axes drive their wedge-shaped blade into wood to fell trees, remove branches, and split logs. They have a single- or double-bit head attached to a long handle.

Non-Sparking Adzes
Non-sparking adzes contain no ferrous metals, so they resist creating sparks. This reduces the risk of ignition when making cuts in locations where combustible dust or flammable liquids, gas, or vapors are present. Adzes shave off layers of wood to plane, shape, and smooth beams, boards, and other large, wood surfaces. They also work as hoes to break up soil and remove weeds. Their blade edge sits horizontal to the handle, and angles into surfaces to scrape off layers with each swing of the adze.
