53957 – SHW Splitting Maul
The unique head shape of this German-forged splitting maul makes it's relatively light 6.6 pound weight incredibly effective (more effective than a conventional-shaped 8 lb. maul, according to a customer) AND resists sticking in the wood.  The handle is actually American Hickory...the toughest stuff going. Rear of head is flattened to use as a hammer for driving wedges if needed.
Length: 35"
Total weight: 8.4 lbs
Head length: 8.5"
Price: $43.00

53640--SHW Cabbage Knife
Well, that's what they call it... although you could cut about anything you wanted with this bad boy!!  The hooked blade IS handy for whacking off cabbage heads, though... Blade is German Forged steel; handle is made out of layered leather.  Makes a good Machete, too.

Total Length: 17"
Blade length: 12”
Weight: 1.4"
Price: $37

--SHW Brush Hook/ Brush Axe
When a Machete won't cut it and a axe (or chainsaw) is too much, this tool is the perfect in-between, capable of chopping off a 1" sapling in one blow. Popular in Europe for maintaining "hedgerows", I use one for whacking back new tree growth on my fencerows yearly.
Blade Length: 11"
Two Handle Lengths:

Overall Length: 30"
Weight: 3 lbs
Price: $40

Overall Length: 47.5"
Weight: 4 lbs
Price: $42

53710 - “Scooping” Pointed Shovel
The head / handle angles of this tool make it perfectly designed for scooping material up off the ground with a minimum of bending the back; such as moving loose dirt, compost, sand, etc. The head is wider than most typical American pointed shovels, so it will hold more, and the rear edges are bent up to keep loose material from falling off the rear.  This shovel head is not Tempered Steel like the model 53705, so it is not recommended for heavy digging in hard soils, but great for looser stuff. Handle easily replaced, like all SHW tools.

Overall Length: 60”   
Head: 10.5” wide x 11.5” long
Weight: 4.4 lbs
Price: $24

53705 - “Digging” Pointed Shovel
This shovel design is more familiar to us Americans, being a design found in hardware stores everywhere as an American Round-Point digging shovel (called a “spade” by some, but this is a mis-use of the term).  The big difference in this Shovel: a Tempered German Steel head with a 10-year Warranty!! Rubber-coated handle end for comfort. Handle/head angle more “straight” for vertical digging.
