Wiki regarding the Pulaski tool: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulaski_(tool)

It's sort of a pick-axe, but has more of an axe and my guess is that they cut out some of the metal on the pick side to save some weight. I might have to get one of those . . .

. . . interesting commentary about how raising it over your head to swing it is (a) a waste of energy, and (b) a safety hazard.

Cool find, thanks for sharing.

PS, regarding swinging it over your head being a waste of energy; I feel the same way about my pecker, so I just don't do that anymore.
