That post mall is a 16 pound beast. A lot of people call them circus tent mauls and carnival hammers now.

Great for cutting and rooting out roots when clearing land. One did not have to use their better axes in the dirt and stones. Did get a chance to see an old timer decades ago use equipment to circle the stump and loosen all the roots out a ways and then put some dynamite in to blow the stump. Slow compared to today but effective.

You will find one in every Rescue shelter (Coffin Box). You will also find them on the Man Trips. Not used much anymore. We have Pnuematics now. But the Coffin Boxes are not accessible to air nor electric. Man Trips may not be either. Just depends where the Fall is.


Coffin Box, Man Trips, and Fall are terms I am not familiar with and Google is no help. Must be specific to a craft or profession. Mining perhaps? Can someone enlighten me?

I would rather have the axes. They need to not let people grab their own and other people's items from the sites.

Here's some more pictures of the tool and the other tools I got with it.

Its episodes like that which makes me question humanity.
I came into this world with nothing, and no one ever handed me anything. If I ever catch anyone stealing from me, they will pay dearly, maybe the ultimate price.
When I am in the pen and someone asks me what I'm in for, I'll tell them that I caught a feller stealing an axe, so I used it on him."
I'll bet No One picks on my after that. Not more than once anyway.
