I thought I make this thread to let everyone discuss what works and doesn't work for making firewood. If I go to a garage sale I can't resist old axes/mauls.
Most important to me is a good cant and it has to have sharp points. The blue one is a 60" heavy duty aluminum is brand new and hasn't been used so I can't comment yet.
This is an old one I redid. It has a railroad spike in the middle to strengthen and the metal strap ties the hook to the base without stressing the wood handle.
The second item I can't leave home is the Pickaroon/Hookaroon. The red one is new and it was very dull, well it isn't now.
Log tongs are like putting a suitcase handle on a round of wood, in snow they are a fantastic and your hands don't get wet.
My obsession with axes/mauls.
Can't forget Fiskars stuff.
