The bit has a large wooden "T" handle on it.

When you have to hike in with everything on your back you tend to pick the essentials. I got a Swiss army knife and a Pulaski so I'm good to go anytime.

I'm working on it, but having visited ledger's, lefty's and steven bauer's shops - I have a long ways to go. 'Course they're all a hell of a lot older than I am.
