WE EAT SLEEP & BREATHE

MADE IN AMERICA

We are hard people who make hard products. By hand, we forge, bend, grind, and handle US steel to make the finest industrial grade hand tools in the world. We depend on each other here; for growth, for humor, for safety. For all the sledge swingers who believe in doing it right the first time, for all the construction workers who rely on quality over quantity, we still make it like they used to make it, because it's the best way to make it.

We are Warwood Tool, and we earn it every day.

STEEPED IN HISTORY

Since 1854, Warwood Tool has helped shape our nation’s history. From coal mining tools that helped fuel the Industrial Revolution to railroad and other tools used to build the US transportation infrastructure, to our famous entrenching mattock used extensively in World Wars I and II for digging fox holes and trenches, Warwood Tool has been trusted by generations of hard-working Americans. In fact, American soldiers have relied on our Warwood Tool products in every war since the Civil War. As a testament to our rich history, our manufacturing facility was recently featured on the History Channel’s documentary The Men Who Built America.

what people are saying

5 out of 5 stars

“Been using this tool for chopping, hoeing and removing turf, works great, the heavy duty leather sheaths will keep the blades sharp while not being used and also for safety.”

“As of this moment, the shipping was fast, packing was very good, and the axe seems to be of excellent quality. Axe head was hung well. It costs more, but once again it seems the right move.”

Before you buy

Questions worth asking before you buy a tool.

Why are Warwood tools more expensive than the ones at the big-box store?

Every Warwood tool is hand-forged from premium US-sourced steel using a time-tested manufacturing process. You are paying for American craftsmanship, durability, and a tool built to last generations—not mass-produced imports.

Are they really made in America, or is that a label trick?

Yes. Warwood Tool has been forging tools in Wheeling, West Virginia since 1854. Our steel is sourced from American mills and every tool is made in the same factory we have occupied since 1907.

What if I am not sure which tool I need for my job?

Contact our team at info@warwoodtool.com or call 1.877.687.1410. We have helped professionals across forestry, rail, construction, mining, and more find the right tool for decades.

How much is shipping?

Shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on your location and order size. Free shipping promotions are offered periodically—check our site or sign up for updates.

What is the return policy if I am not satisfied?

We stand behind our tools. If you are not satisfied with your purchase, contact us within 30 days of delivery and we will work with you on a return or exchange.
