HI,

cyclone brand (australian made)available at most large hardware stores is current ADF and fits series tool brackets as well

the axe is the "straight" handled, polished http://www.cyclone.com.au/products/cyclone37/2kg-polished-axe-timber-handle

the shovel is 4x4 camping shovel, wood hanle with steel "D" handle at top http://www.cyclone.com.au/products/cyclone-3/4wd-camping-shovel-short-timber-shaft-with-galvanised-dee-handle

wooden handled pick No5  ie 5lb (some people get the pick/maddock as more versitile) http://www.cyclone.com.au/products/cyclone92/225kg-road-pick-short-timber-handle


hope this helps

Regards

In addition to what Scott detailed, I just went to Bunnings and got replacement axe and pick handles that were an exact replica of the ex-army set I had:

Axe handle:  "Superslash by Krugers, 01-002, 700mm AXE"   $18.55   (also get the nearby "Supercraft Axe Wedge" @ $2.28)

Pick handle: "Superslash by Krugers, 01-030, PICK/MATTOCK"  $22.99

For the shovel I use a cyclone.

Cheers,

Pete

As recommended by FFRMan I went to Bunnings today to fill my shopping list.

2kg Cyclone Axe  = no problem.

4WD Camping Cyclone Shovel = no problem.
These were so good and priced well I bought two.

2.25kg Road Pick = no problem.
Slight problem with the handle though.
It comes separate so I had to buy a Chinese one and the
colour was so light I thought it was pine.
Have substituted it with my dark coloured Australian Mattock handle
from home.  I'm happy now.

Things to look for.  Inspect the axes to get the best looking handle.
Ensure the shovel has the handle straight.  One of mine is off-centre and
hits on the bonnet when tightened down on a Perente.
No problem on another vehicle though.
Go shopping to get a good pick handle of dark hardwood if need be.

Remaining job for now will be to remove brand stickers etc, a light sanding to take the newness off and maybe
matt varnish or paint job.  Anything to make them look less brand new and nickable to idle hands.

Happy shopping.  Greg Mac.

I painted mine "camouflage green" today. Hopefully they'll be dry tomorrow.

Here's the axe & pick handle.  One coat of linseed oil.  Axe head matt black.

I have a Perentie 110 and desperately looking for the pioneer tools, would the above work on my Perentie.

Yep. Sure will.

A linseed oil and gun oil.  the smell of an engineer after a field exercise and having to clean every tool in the kit.

What are the chances of getting the original equipment?
Does anybody know why they don't sell them with the tools?

That means Sunday shopping coming up.....whoooohoooo!

Thanx......
What I mean by original equipment is the wear and rust that come with them, the new equipment is going to look tooooo shiny

Just get out 4wding and get stuck in using them! 

If that still doesn't work I will take one for the team and swap my preloved ones for your brand spanners new ones.

My RFSV has cyclone tools on it. The shovel still has the sticker on it to prove it.
