Council Tool FE6-36 Forcible Entry 6 lb Flathead Fire Axe with 36 in. Hickory Handle
The Council Tool FE6-36 Forcible Entry Axe is designed with features to improve performance and usability while helping reduce fatigue and injury.
Ideal for municipal firefighting, it is suitable for chopping, battering, and door-stopping. The cutting edge is approximately 5″ long, and the poll is square. This axe performs reliably on the fire-ground and is an invaluable tool for trainers and student firefighters.
Features:
- Forged 4140 steel head designed to match Council Halligan tools, made in the USA.
- Forged-in slot allows pairing with popular Halligan tools to create “The Irons.”
- Tapered wedge-shaped blade can be used as a starter wedge and helps capture progress while forcing a door.
- Extended poll balances the head so that the center of gravity is within the eye/handle; balanced to lay flat in an open hand, minimizing blade drop or flutter when swinging sideways.
- Top of head is flat to stand on its own.
- Hand-sharpened, tapered bit for cutting.
- ANSI standards require bit hardness of RC 45-60 at least ½ inch back from the cutting edge. Council Tool internal standards call for tempered bit hardness of RC 48-55, targeting 1-1/4 inches from the cutting edge. The poll and eye walls remain in the as-forged condition.
- 36″ curved hickory handle. Eye section dried to below 10% moisture content to minimize shrinkage and prevent loosening.
- Axe head hydraulically seated onto handle and secured with a traditional wooden and steel wedge.
- Tapered interior eye detail ensures a strong mechanical bond; approximately ½″ of the handle length is removed during assembly for proper fit.
