Show Unbreakable Ax With head and handle of steel, forged and tempered in one piece, a handy new- ax is by its very construction, construc-tion, unbreakable, says the Popular Science Monthly. The handle cannot work loose and come out, so there is no danger of the head's flying off. A hand-hold of leather gives a linn grip, and the hand does not come in touch with the cold steel. This steel ax is said to be lighter in weight than the usual wooden-handled ax. Two unusual features of this sturdy ax are a hook on the head that is useful use-ful for drawing out staples, and a claw at the end of the handle for pulling nails. Its head, of course, can be used for hammering. |
