I found after using my chainsaw i needed a good AXe try finding a good one at a fair

[happysawer]

After using my chain saw i needed a good axe to remove stumps, looked at what STHIL had to offer and found they were IMHO over priced for the quality they offfered, both Lowes and Home Depot have a few but not at their stores near me, and they wernt willing to have them sent to my local stores and some had poor reviews.

There are many axes found on the Net. but finding the correct type at a fair price not an easy task, in searching the Net. i found Garett Wade Tools and this i think is just the axe i feel i need, they offer a 90 day return policy also.

They informed me the axe i ordered is on backorder they reduced my price and will bill my credit card when they ship it, i found another axe at Harbor Freight for $27.99+tax it, has really good reviews with a few pictures i went over to their store and bought one to use until i get the other one.

I see this and don't like it someone highjacked the link, just go direct to Garrett Wade Woodworking Tools & Supplies, Shop Tools, Hand Tools, Measuring Tools, Knives & Drills
And do a search for POWERFUL GERMAN-MADE CHOPPING TOOl.
I was informed it was on back order and would ship when it arrived, i left it on order but went to harbor Freight and for $27.99 bought a 4.5 pound hickory handle axe to use until the other one arrives.

Hope this link still works.

I have a bunch of Fiskars products mostly shears and a pole saw&clipper, great products and great customer service if you have a problem will give them a look at that link and thanks.

I also think Fiskars are very good , I know several people that own and use their splitting ax and it is very good and well built.

They make very good stuff. I have a variety of their tools and have been pleased.

It depends on what you want to do with the axe, the Fisker's splitting axe performs extremely well for splitting but is a fairly miserable tool for limbing and chopping. For limbing and chopping I have always preferred a 2.5 lb double bit cruiser's axe. It is light enough to not be terribly fatiguing to use and pack around.
Just my preference and 2 cents in the discussion.
