    1939 World War Two World War II fireman axe patent number 515767 tested 20000 v
    The 'ARPAX' was manufactured by the Chillington Tool Company Limited of Wolverhampton and is notable for its rubber handle. Encased in a tough rubber, the handle was claimed to be less liable to catch fire or break than the traditional wooden types, and would also protect the user from potentially fatal shocks if he or she happened to accidentally cut through electric cables. To this end, moulded into the handle was the comforting phrase 'TESTED 20.000 VOLTS'. On the other side of the handle are details of the patent; 'PATENT No. 515767'. This axe is in need of some TLC. If it is going to be used, needs sharpening. The handle is in fairly good condition, but has various nicks and dents from use and age (see pictures).
