Malven Hawk tool is a multi-function one piece arsenal used in the fire finding function. The head and various end configurations are all made with our special alloy stainless steel with a chrome moly shaft making it superior in strength, durable, light weight, low maintenance, and terrific in holding its edge. This one tool preforms the following functions: Breaching, Chopping, Pulling, Prying, Peeling, light duty force able entry. The Raptor handle (half-"D" shape) option adds additional pulling functions, a narrow prying tip and striking surface. Tool is made to order, please allow time for fabrication and shipping.
1) It's not
obvious in most photos, but the heavy-duty "wedge" tip of the tool
always seems to get involved in the work at hand-- prying plywood off
closed windows, pulling baseboards, door and window casing, crown
moldings, breaking up ceramic tile, quarry
tile, brick or block with downward, spear-like moves, etc.,
2) the
wedge is "beefy" so its a part of the tool that can take a beating
without much worry about permanent damage,
3) the back edge of the wedge
has flattened shoulders on both sides so it can be struck and driven
with an axe-- even in zero viz, by sliding he axe along the shaft,
4)
the tool is made of hardened stainless which holds a keen edge even with
abuse, so the tool has numerous different thin, tight edges for peeling
thin materials like metal cover plates, grilles, linoleum, tile,
carpet-- gets into really tight gaps,
5) rear-facing adze is pretty
decent for quick entry past medium duty hardware to force inward
swinging doors,
6) if you file a thin notch in the center of this adze
(to keep it centered on the work), this adze it can often be driven
behind, and pull, the bezel of a cylinder lock to initiate
through-the-lock methods,
7) it's a good chopping tool, in an unusual
way-- the lower transverse (sideways) blade cross-cuts with the
longitudinal, curved blade to split and break at the same time
(obviously, its not an axe, but it performs those functions pretty
well),
8) because the blade arcs forward, the blade comes right out of a
chopping cut (if stuck) by rotating the handle forward,
9) for pulling
down materials, it give you the choice of a broad back surface to pull
bigger wall/ceiling sections with less breaking OR on the other side the
back edge is sharper and can bend or break wires, straps, etc., that
would otherwise slow the work.
