Hazel Hoe
Authored By: R. Reitz
The Hazel Hoe is an effective grubbing tool that cuts through deep duff layers and tight root mats.
This hoe is often used after Pulaskis during fireline construction. Overall the tool is fairly light weight even though the head of the hoe is twice the width of a Pulaski and quite heavy.
The wooden handle should be smooth and tightly fastened. Handles with splinters, cracks, excessive twist or warp should be replaced or reconditioned.
