The Pulaski is actually a type of fireman's axe, but can be used as a brush clearing tool by anyone who can wield it safely. It is generally used by wildland firefighters, and that is why it was developed. Let's look at this tool and compare it to what is generally considered a fireman's axe.
When we look at a fire engine and spot the axe, it appears to have the same bit or blade as any other axe. The Pulaski shares that bit, and it is a sharp, curved edge that acts as a wedge when cutting or chopping. But on the back (the poll or butt) of the firefighter's general purpose axe we find a pick-shaped point for breaking through doors or windows. The back (poll) of the Pulaski has a mattock or chisel-like horizontal blade. This, along with the sharp bit allows it to be more effective in brush clearing.

How did a Pulaski Axe get its name?
The Pulaski Axe (Pulaski tool) is named after Ed Pulaski (1868-1931) who was a USDA Forest Service Ranger beginning in 1908 in Wallace, Idaho. He is credited with the invention of the Pulaski Tool. It is a combination tool which has an axe head on one side and a mattock/adze hoe on the other side. It is a versatile tool which is used for cutting wood and digging. The USDA FS began contracting the manufacture of this tool in 1920 due to its versatility in the construction of fire line on wildland fires. Note: a similar tool was manufactured by the Collins Tool Company beginning in 1876.
