Pulaski
Revolutionary cavalry commander
A Pulaski is a firefighting and trail-building tool combining an axe blade on one side with an adze or grubbing blade on the other, mounted on a single handle.
The dual design allows workers to chop wood and dig soil without switching tools: Wildland firefighters used Pulaskis to cut firebreaks.
Named after a U.S.
Forest Service ranger who popularized its design in the early 1900s.
