Materials

At ShapeShifter Tool Co. we understand the importance of durable tools. When our customers come to us looking for a new product, we know they are expecting a tool that can stand the test of time and put up a fight against the elements. That is why we have made it our duty to source the best materials on the market so we can present you with exceptional tools. 

A key feature fundamental to the distinction of our tools is T400 steel. All of our heads have been equipped with T400 plates, a pliable iron that can withstand high impact vibration. Commonly used for the beds of dump trucks, this hardwearing iron plate gets the job done whether you're picking rocks or tearing through roots. T400 steel also boasts longevity as it fights temperature wear, adhesive wear, and corrosion. Long lasting and shock preventative – what more could a trail smith ask for?
