The snow on my deck has compacted and has layers of ice throughout. I already busted one snow shovel on it, so I broke out the trusty tomahawk to help break through the ice so I could shovel :thumbup:

I had a friend of mine put a chisel grind on a 5/16" thick piece of sheet steel, about 4 inch square. Then slot the end of a 5 foot piece of RMC heavy conduit, and weld the plate in place.

Its one HELL of an ice chipper - weighs about 10 pounds.
 
Love to see the look on the neighbors faces....
Hopefully you don't damage whatever is under the ice. A day in the sun- little ice melter works wonder if you have time.
 
Update: This probably isn't the best idea, in retrospect. The cold is definitely not good for the handle, my paint has flaked off and the epoxy is cracking :grumpy:
Probably ought have thought on the affects of cold on the tomahawk before using it.
On the positive side, I think this can be remedied with a bit of new epoxy or JB weld application.
This hawk will be saved yet.
