This is a high quality, USA-made axe and sheath/mask from Council Tools. HJE had a very good price and provided excellent customer service from ordering to receiving the axe.

The axe edge has remained sharp after limbing a few trees (pine and oak). The flat grind bites deeply and has resisted deformation or chipping. It's also nice to see the tempering lines on the head. The forged flag marking is neat touch.
The handle and wedge look well made. No signs of any weakness in the grain lines or loose fittings so far. The throat and end of the grip are very comfortable after repeated swings. The one possible improvement is the shoulder shape--it is too flat and pointed at the sides to be comfortable for precision work, which requires choking up with the handle.
The mask is very sturdy. Thick leather and very snug fit.

I have to say, this is probably one of the best adjustable wrench purchases I’ve ever made.

I work in industrial maintenance, and I’ve found a lot of uses for it. Where it really shines is adjusting proximity sensors. Those sensors usually have very thin jam nuts that can be difficult to reach with a standard wrench, but this thin bent wrench fits perfectly and makes the job much easier.

It’s one of those tools you don’t realize you need until you have it. For maintenance work, controls work, and tight-access adjustments, this wrench has been extremely useful. Highly recommended.

Lang Metric Feeler Gauge (FG-30)

I can find zero things wrong with this axe for less than $100. Nice, straight transition from bit to cheek. 1060 is fantastic axe steel. The handle has good grain and it was hung correctly. HJE is also a phenomenal company that I'd wish I'd found sooner.

Great axe! I love the fiberglass handle and double edge. Great packaging and quick shipping too!

Very happy with my purchase. Maul works great! Will definitely be placing more orders with you in the future.
Thanks!

I love using my new hammer, the quality is great and it even makes an awesome "singing" sound. I would buy it again!

Very nice Impact set!

Extacly what is expected. Excellent tool!!

Great, American made boy's axe. Everything arrived quickly and as expected. Epstein is the place to buy Council tools.

Billings NOS WWII Era Open End 1 1/16" x 1 5/16" Wrench

I had a very similar set by another company (at work) and I loved those tools. This very much the same design and I love it too.

Small miter gauge makes layouts and setting saws fast and accurate. I love the decorative flair that isn't present on US-made tools. I keep it hanging by my saw for quick and accurate adjustments. Another "lifetime" tool that you will definitely use.
