Council IRONS — Marriage Made in Heaven

Two tools, purpose-built to work as one. The Council IRONS pair couples our TD30 (Tuned & Dressed) Halligan with your choice of flathead axe — the FE6 (6 lb) or the beefier FE8 (8 lb) — for a seamless, strap-free forcible entry system firefighters can trust.

Why they belong together

The TD30 Halligan is a one-piece, 4140-forged workhorse tuned for maximum forcible entry. Each axe head (FE6 or FE8) is machined with a precision slot so the tools mate together and carry as a single unit — no straps, no fuss. Set the bond by tapping the axe head down; release quickly by tapping the handle down. When every second counts, this pairing saves time and simplifies deployment.

Common construction & performance features

• Forged 4140 steel: TD30 is forged in one piece for unmatched strength and structural integrity.
• Heat-treated working ends: Fork, adz, pike (and the axe bit) are heat treated for maximum strength, toughness, and wear resistance.
• Engineered geometry: Forks, horn, pry, widths and tapers are designed for leverage and easy penetration.
• Tuned & Dressed Halligan: The TD30 arrives “Tuned and Dressed” — forks thinned for better entry with pre-marked gap and set indicators on both ends.
• Finish: Clear lacquer to show natural steel (no welds) for an easy-to-maintain surface that helps deter rust.
• Made in the USA.
