BadAxx | Hickory Handle BadAxx Tool | Available with 30″ or 34″ Handle

Our latest addition to the Badaxx lineup! The highest quality straight grain, flame-tempered, Hickory handle Badaxx. The flame tempering process helps tighten the grain of the hickory making it the strongest hickory axe handle you can buy! Each handle is hand-fitted and wedged in our shop to ensure the tightest and best fit possible. Each handle is finished with a hand rubbed Odies Oil finish to seal it and make it easy to clean. We also add an octagonal shape that makes it easier to get a secure grip for every swing.

The new notched head design gives firefighters options for marrying your Badaxx with your Halligan bar! And you still have the option to use your Badaxx as a bailout anchor!

PICK

Made from hardened 4150 tool steel, the 4.5” pick can quickly be driven into most materials, providing an immediate extra foot hold during emergency operations. We designed our pick to have a consistent width throughout its length. By not having the entire pick tapered like a wedge, we have avoided the wobbly, unstable foot hold most commonly found with the traditional pick head axe. To increase your safety we have added knurling to the top surface of the head to prevent your foot from slipping. With the tapered end and angle of the pick, we have designed it to be very efficient at overhaul while also allowing it to function as a fulcrum for prying and lifting.

HEAD

The head of the BADAXX tool is created through the process of investment casting, otherwise known as lost wax casting. We start with a die that has wax injected into it to form the shape of the head. The wax head is then coated with a series of porcelain layers to create a mold of the head. The mold is then heated to melt and remove the wax and is finally filled with molten 4150 tool steel. Once cooled down, the porcelain is removed and we have a finished head.

The head of the BADAXX tool has been engineered to apply maximum impact force to the striking surface while the beveled edges force material away from the blade. The result is an effective method of breaking through material without the blade being pinched or jammed. This allows for the efficient completion of time-critical operations, while minimizing exertion, and preserving much needed energy. The face of the blade provides an effective striking surface when used with a Halligan style bar. The rectangular hole in the head is designed to receive a 2”-3” adz blade of a Halligan style bar. This design allows the handles to marry close together and can easily be grasped with one hand. The BADAXX tool and a Halligan style bar, affectionately known as the “irons”, are the perfect pair for any forcible entry job!
