yeet 2,027 March 30, 2014 Share March 30, 2014 (edited) Okay, so basically we are going to be getting an axe (not pickaxe) and I don't know which one would be the best to get.http://search.diy.com/search#w=Axe&asug=That link should work. If anyone could help me then it would be great, any questions I will be happy to answer. it will mainly be for pruning and some wood cutting, so i was looking more at the smaller axes, but i dont know if that would be better for what i would like to do.

Scootalove 10,689 March 30, 2014 Share March 30, 2014 If I was you, I would get the Spear & Jackson Axe. Whichever axe can get the job done, that would be the best pick. Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'aiq the Liar 5,804 March 30, 2014 Share March 30, 2014 It depends on what you plan to use it for. If for self defense I'd just give up now as that is illegal for the most part in the UK. http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/vera-yeoman-r5921Muh pleb tier OC .http://mlpforums.com/blog/1663/entry-12477-pony-waifu-wedding-13-maiq-x-fleetfoot/ MLP forum's #1 Fleetfoot fan also married to fleetfoot <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeet 2,027 March 30, 2014 Author Share March 30, 2014 (edited) Okay, well Ill check them ones out a bit then, they look quite good for chopping wood and such, but what I currently need from one is one that can prune stuff (if that's what it's called) and I was looking at their hatchet, but I'll check the bigger axes out as well. not for personal defense, but if someone invades my house it will be quite useful. im thinking about getting either the garant total control hatchet, and the spear & jackson 1.5lb hatchet.

CT-1138 3,182 March 30, 2014 Share March 30, 2014 Depends on what you wanna use if for, if splitting wood, might I suggest the Spear and Jackson 4.5lbs. Love is a most potent magic My FiMFiction | My DA | My Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeet 2,027 March 30, 2014 Author Share March 30, 2014 im tempted to get the 2.5lb one. it is 19" and doesnt seem to way a lot. i dont know if it would be any good for pruning or chopping some wood up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluttershyfan94 5,742 March 30, 2014 Share March 30, 2014 (edited) If only for pruning and wood cutting then go for something cheap like the B&Q Axe soft grip handle. In case of zombies however, go for the tomahawk. Good luck.

Frith is Magick 1,471 March 30, 2014 Share March 30, 2014 It depends largely on the use. For chopping wood, you'll definitely need something larger, such as the S&J 4.5, but for smaller branches and kindling, a hatchet will serve nicely. My family uses a Fiskars axe (2 actually), and they have been quite reliable so far, but the one on that site is too small for chopping fire wood or anything similar. I would recommend getting an axe and a hatchet rather than looking for something that does both jobs, but if that isn't an option, go with whatever you need most.

yeet 2,027 March 30, 2014 Author Share March 30, 2014 (edited) okay, well i dont think it is an option, since we wont need any firewood till summer ill just get a hatchet for pruning, and chopping up some wood from a bench in our garden i destroyed today. do you have the fiskar that is in that list?

Frith is Magick 1,471 March 30, 2014 Share March 30, 2014 (edited) do you have the fiskar that is in that list? Not the exact same, but a similar model, as well as an axe. Both do their respective jobs well, but the smaller simply isn't big enough for heavier work which requires more power, something to bear in mind. The handle is lightweight, hollow fiberglass (unless I mis-remember), but is still strong and in mint condition. The axe head has small scratches and dings, naturally, but the edge has held well and it has yet to see any corrosion. Like anything, if you take good care of it, it will take good care of you. okay, well would you recommend that above them all for pruning and chopping from a bench? I don't have any experience with the other ones, so I can't say. Researching customer reviews is your best bet, preferably on sites not affiliated with the manufacturer or retailer. As for the bench, it depends on how salvageable you need the wood to be. With patience you could chop it apart and keep the planks more or less whole, even chop it into kindling, but if you just wanna smash the dang thing from here to next Tuesday, get an axe and go crazy buddy, just remember eye protection.

Vermillion 613 March 30, 2014 Share March 30, 2014 buy a battleaxe, battleaxe's are the shit Satan is good, Satan is my pal i have nothing else to say... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeet 2,027 March 31, 2014 Author Share March 31, 2014 I don't think B&Q do battle axes. Some of the ones I was looking at dont have any customer reviews on the website, and yes I just want to smash the shit outof the bench really, but we will probably use it for firewood so I'm just gonna chop it up. I'm gonna look at some more reviews online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivion 20,266 March 31, 2014 Share March 31, 2014 I think you should get both a long and short handled axe, the short axe allows you to make short controlled swings to chop at smaller stuff (small limbs and branches etc) and a long handled axe to make long hard swings on materials that need more inertia to get the job done. With whatever you choose good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeet 2,027 March 31, 2014 Author Share March 31, 2014 Thanks, well I'm just gonna go there at the weekend and see what they have, no point in deciding to get one and then its out of stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
