About
Council Tool, founded in 1886 and based in Lake Waccamaw, North Carolina, is one of the oldest tool manufacturers in the U.S. They specialize in axes, hatchets, forestry tools, and firefighting gear, all made in the USA. Council Tool products are known for their tough builds, high-carbon steel heads, and American hickory handles, built for people who actually use their tools hard, whether it’s on the job or in the woods.
Most of their tools are still forged, finished, and assembled in their North Carolina facility. They’ve earned a strong following among outdoorsmen, firefighters, and tradespeople who want dependable tools made by folks who’ve been doing it right for over a century. Their American-made heritage isn’t just for show—it’s built into every swing.
