The long thin blade penetrates easily enough and that heavy handle is the "hammer" that pushes it in deeper. Once I was able to penetrate a 1 1/2" thick pine board with one.
So, sometimes "older" is better than the newest marketing design.

That is also the very best blade design for puncturing mounted, inflated tires. |

Good Lord!
C'mon sgt, give it a try with flip-flops taped on. Lean forward and POUND. I'm in rotten nick but I think that with a bicycle hat on to prevent a "fall-back" head injury, it may be possible on a normal pool.
