MaxAx MIL Multi Purpose Tool Kit (OD GREEN)

Now in OD Green military-grade MaxAx Multi Purpose 6 in 1 survival tool. As well as an axe, it comes with a shovel, McLeod rake/hoe, pick, broad pick, and mattock. I think that makes it a 7 in 1 tool. Precision-engineered and manufactured to industry and military standards of strength and reliability.

The McLeod rake/hoe is a two-sided blade. It is a standard tool during wildfire suppression and trail restoration. The combination tool was created in 1905 by Malcolm McLeod, a US Forest Service ranger at the Sierra National Forest, with a large sharpened hoe-like blade on one side and a tined rake blade on the other. The McLeod was designed to rake fire lines with the teeth and cut branches and sod with the sharpened hoe edge, but it has found other uses. It can remove slough and berm from a trail, tamp, or compact tread, and can shape a trail's back slope.

• Finest tempered steel.
• Rugged Cordura gear bag.
• 36" composite poly glass handle.
• Quick assembly and disassembly.
• Weighs only 12.5 pounds.
• Replacement parts are available.
• Quality leather ax sheath.

The head of the MaxAx is a small, sharp axe head made of tempered steel. Together with the poly glass handle, this is a lightweight, very portable tool (12.5 lbs). It is much lighter than your standard garage axe but feels solid and substantial enough to get the job done. On the back edge of the head is a small bracket. This is used to connect any of the several accessories included with the MaxAx:

Shovel, McLeod rake/hoe, pick, broad pick, and mattock. All these accessories are stored in a very sturdy cordura nylon bag. The bag has a separate pocket for each accessory, closes with velcro, and has a comfortable handle. The attachments connect securely to the head of the MaxAx with cotter-type pins or an adjustable shim (all included). A protective leather cover is included for the axe head to protect the head (and your head too). When using any accessory, just slip on the cover and buckle it.

It is easy to store and easy to use. This tool will come in handy many, many times. It should be a basic part of every 4x4 toolset, right along with your Hi-Lift.
