5 Axes You Should Never Use! (And 3 That Are Worth Your Money)

Best axe for splitting firewood, and the axes you should never use. A working logger counts down five axes to walk away from: the no-name bargain axe with the painted handle, the hollow-handle survival axe, the loose head tightened with a nail, the axe used as a sledgehammer, and a good axe swung frozen. Then the three worth your money: Council Tool Jersey, Gränsfors Bruk Large Splitting Axe and the Fiskars X27. I'm Jake Holloway. I cut timber in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and the rules on this channel come off Arne Maki's woodshed door. Today's line: bring the axe in when you bring in the kindling. Prices change; check before you buy. No brand sponsored this video. Sources in the pinned comment. Next week: hanging a new axe handle Arne's way. Jake Holloway is a character. The rules and the sources are real. Narrated with an AI voice and a synthetic presenter. Burn it hot, folks. Burn it dry.
