Camp axe/hammer tool

[TREETOP]

Hi all,

Just seen this on Ebay looks good for the money free postage too
I've not got any links with the seller just thought it may interest somebody.

Not got one like that (looks cheap and nasty)

but have several hammerbacked hatchets (wood handles)

Ill let you have one if you have something to trade

For knocking tent pegs and wooden stakes etc into the ground a more general purpose axe or hatchet such as a Gransfors Bruks does the job nicely. If you are on a budget I have heard good things about the axe from Argos.

I'd give it a wide swerve if I were you, it doesn't even look like six quids' worth.

I wouldn't let our Scouts use that..........spend a few bob more and something a whole lot better

Erm...wouln't touch it even if it had a barge-pole attachment

 

[WoodMan]

I might get one and see if I can make a barge pole with it and then not touch it! Glyn.

THESE I believe were once called roofers hammers,the claw was used to withdraw the nails from the laths and the hammer used to replace old slate,I used to see them a lot a long time ago and I have one out the back but I cut the claw off of it but its a heavy ugly unbalanced piece of kit.I remember an old man using the axe head to pear the 2x1 timbers to fit.

not with a barge pole springs to mind
