Gransfor Stockist in Surrey?

[Nick Watkins]

Hi,

 

Has anyone come across a stockists of Gransfor Bruks in Surrey by any chance? I can't decide between the maul and the large splitting axe and wanted to "feel" them in the flesh before I part with my cash.

 

Thanks.

Not sure about stockists mate but ive got the big splitting maul and its the badgers nadgers

Thanks, I knew it would be, I am just worried that it might be a bit heavy to be swinging for hours on end compared to the splitting Axe I currently have.

It is abit heavier than the others ive used but its that bit of added weight that makes it split so well, There isnt a huge difference and you dont have to swing as hard with the gransfors as it goes threw it like no other axe ive used

Weald & Downland Museum in W Sussex may be your nearest.

:001_smile:classic hand tools do the whole range of Granfor axes, however Axminster power tools are selling Wetterings, thse come with a large poll. if you can wait and get down to the festival of the tree at westonbirt(august bank hol) classic hand tools have a big marquee full of goodies at show rates.
