Wedges and hatchet?

[flying pig]

Well, I have a rock solid four saw team for my hobby work and firewood harvesting now (44, 359, and two 2100s, one permanently on a mill) and now I need to upgrade some of my other gear. I bought a few cheap wedges and a hatchet with a claw built in for pulling nails (thought it would be handy for pulling mill guide rails). The hatchet was ok, but I lost it in the bush last week, and the wedges are junk. I had one bust off today and it's only -2C. I'd like to upgrade to some nicer kit. What are your suggestions?

I like the 8" hard head wedges. And any axe/ hatchet will work fine. I painted mine bright orange. Little easier to see

Old plumb hatchets are good ones.

Went in to Wholesale sports tonight and saw that they carry Hults Bruk axes now. They looked awesome, and at a manageable price too I think. Still expensive, but good kit always is. So now I'll save some pennies and grab one.

A little heavier than the Jersey.

I like my Jersey, but I want to try this one for the added weight.
