[QUOTE="azekologi, post: 180255, member: 2311"] Hey gents, I just had some trees cut down and had the professionals leave me with all the big branches, trunks, etc. (saved $150 in dump fees) :wink:. I have a nice chainsaw that's a few years old, however, I'd like to buy a quality axe for chopping, camping, and the stuff I don't want/need to whip out the chainsaw for. Few things first...I'm one of those guys who doesn't mind paying a little more for quality tools. For example, all my tools are Craftsman, but Mac and Snap-On are out of my budget (don't get me wrong, the Snap-On ratchet feels great in your hand, but at $75 for just the handle, I know the pain in my wallet wouldn't be wort it). So I want something good; but I'm sure that the perfectly-balanced, hair-splitting, polished silver head axe that the competition woodsmen on TV use would be out of the budget. Anyway, I don't really know anything about axes, brands, what to look for, etc. and thought I'd ask my buddies here. I'd say that my budget is probably around $150-200, maybe a little more if that's too low (again, have no idea what a quality axe goes for these days). Thanks guys! [/QUOTE]
