Customer comments about the 22BR:
March 2012
“I just wanted to say that I learned about Council Tool within the past year. I am involved in bushcraft and camping and when the announcement came out that CT was going to produce some higher quality axes aimed at my hobby, most of us took notice. Earlier this year, I saw a video on YouTube by Israel Turley of Turley Knives on your Boy’s Axe. He thought very highly of it and showed that a $40 tool made in the USA could compete with Wetterlings and Gransfors Bruks. I ended up buying a Boy’s Axe online and just used it for the first time this weekend. It is an excellent axe! I am very, very pleased with it and I’m looking forward to many long years of use.”

“I recently acquired a Council Tool Boys Ax. Considering the relatively low cost of the item, I would have expected some manufacturing defects, but much to my surprise, there were none. After beveling and sharpening the bit, which was pretty easy to do, I have found this ax to be my favorite. It may not out perform a bigger ax cut for cut, but it is far less tiring to use, and the job is more pleasant because of it. A word on the haft is in order. If you study what the professional ax men of the last century preferred, you will see that they liked thinner, whippier handles. This was because less shock was transmitted to their hands and arms on each swing. Today, most ax hafts are pretty thick, no doubt to help prevent breakage from wild swings. The Council Tool hafts are the best I’ve seen yet, and the thin haft of the Boys Ax makes it a joy to use for extended periods of time.”

Simple, durable, and a great buy for active dogs. 🐕🎾
Size: 3 PCS, Size: 3 PCS
These are exactly what I look for in a simple dog toy.
The balls are made from a durable rubber material that feels sturdy enough for regular play, while still having enough give to be safe and comfortable for dogs to carry in their mouths. They bounce well, are easy to throw, and have held up nicely during play sessions.
I also like the bright colors. The orange, blue, and yellow make them easy to spot in grass, at the park, or in the backyard, which means less time searching and more time playing.
The textured surface gives dogs something easy to grip, and the size works well for medium to larger dogs. They feel much more substantial than the bargain-bin tennis balls that seem to fall apart after a few outings.
Perhaps the best part is the value. For the price, getting three durable rubber balls is a great deal. Dog toys can get expensive quickly, and this set provides a lot of entertainment without costing much.
Overall, these are durable, colorful, fun, and appear safe for everyday play. Combined with the very reasonable price point, they represent an excellent value for dog owners.

Really rough and tough and able to endure some pretty gnarly chewing!
Size: 3 PCS
These are some really stout, durable, tuff balls that are designed to endure some pretty rough chewers! They don't have the best bounce capability. If you throw one down onto pavement, it's not going to bounce back to you the same way a tennis ball would. It's probably got about half the comeback as a tennis ball, so to get the same return you would have to throw it about twice as hard as you would a tennis ball. But the balls were not designed to bounce around, they were designed to throw to your dog and play fetch and be able to endure some pretty rough gnawing and chewing while your dog is returning the ball to you.
I have a 30 lb westie, and these balls are pretty much the perfect size for his medium size chomper. He is able to pick the ball up and carry it around with great ease, he is able to catch it in the air with no problem. Now my little 12 lb chihuahua is not able to carry the ball around, his mouth is just too small too be able to pick the ball up.
In my opinion the asking price for these balls is really fair and reasonable! I would absolutely recommend this product to my friends and family!!

Nice quality balls for heavy chewers that are easy to clean
Size: 3 PCS, Size: 3 PCS
Nice quality heavy duty balls for strong chewers. I love that these don't have those holes in them that so many balls do that collect grossness and dirt. These are solid and easy to clean. My 9 week old puppy can pick them up and carry them around from the side of her mouth. But the next door 5 year old Labrador is obsessed with them. But then again he is obsessed with balls in general. I just like that these seem to hold less gunk than the others we give him to play with frequently. And they seem to have help up to his chewing just fine.
They are reasonably priced for a set of 3 and the colors are nice and visible in the grass which is important. I would be careful to pick them up before mowing the lawn because these are solid and somewhat heavy and I could definitely see a mower just slinging them through a window or off your siding. Overall a nice set of balls that are easy for a human to throw and fit the hand comfortably. They are easy to clean and they are apparently appreciated by the local retrieval expert next door.

Finally, a Ball Our Aggressive Chewer Loves and Hasn’t Destroyed Instantly!
Size: 3 PCS
We’ve gone through more dog toys than I care to admit, because our dog treats them like a personal demolition project! Since she’s a very aggressive chewer, I usually don’t expect toys to last long, so these balls were a really pleasant surprise.
They were an instant hit for fetch, chase, and chew time. I love that they have a nice bounce that keeps playtime fun and unpredictable, and the bright colors make them easy to spot in the yard instead of disappearing into the grass. Best of all, they’ve held up far better than many other dog toys we’ve tried. Normally I’m cleaning up shredded toy remains within minutes, but these have proven to be much tougher.
Of course, no toy is truly indestructible with a determined chewer, but these have definitely impressed me and earned their place in our toy rotation. If you have a dog that loves interactive play and tends to destroy toys at record speed, these are absolutely worth trying. Easy 5 stars from our house!

Fun and durable toy for dogs of all sizes
Size: 3 PCS
We have three dogs and one of their favorite kinds of toys is balls. These are the perfect size that all three of the dogs can play with them. We have size ranges from pug to Golden Retriever. Even the pug can carry one around. Mostly she just chases them across the floor. They are durable plastic that the dogs can chew on and so far have not punctured. They also haven't started to flake or splinter like some plastic will when it gets older. I like the bright colors because that makes it easier to find in the grass. They aren't extremely hard so if someone inadvertently gets hit with one it isn't terribly painful. They are a good weight to be able to throw repeatedly without getting a tired arm and yet they aren't lightweight so much that they don't go where you aim. When they get too dirty I just pop them in the dishwasher. I appreciate the value of getting three balls in one package.
