Too many clothes...

They look pretty good so I just orderd one, not sure how strong they will be but time will tell now all I need is a hammer clip to put the axe on.

Yeah I've been hauling 2 plastics, a hi-lift and a heavy splitting axe around the woods and it drives me mad specially when you don't use it for a while and when you need it it's miles away. We are working on a big Scott's pine block at the moment which is on a steep bank and on the side of a field so the wind just hits the tops so most of them need wedging to get them going down the bank so I need this set up. I know someone who uses a normal 16Oz hammer but he takes ages banging them in and then moans about how much plastic wedges he gets through because the hammer destroys the ends. I might pop down to my local asda and have a look see if they have them at the moment. Good idea on the rope I have heard of a couple of people doing that might give it ago. Cheers for all the help I'll stick a photo up of my set up when I get it all
-
That is the exact set up I want, where did you get the wedge pouch from? Do you find it heavy having that lot hanging off your belt all day?
-
cheers for the replies, I took your advise and just orderd a Fiskars X17 which is 60cm long and 1.6KG at the end so should do me good
-
yeah that is all I ever hear about them so I really want one just I don't want a long handled beast that would drag around on the floor off the belt so I was wondering if anyone has a shorter one and what X number is it?
-
Evening, just wondering if people use a Fiskars axe for banging in wedges and clipped to their belt while working in the woods? It does not have to be a Fiskars axe just what axes do you guys use? I'm getting sick and tired of dragging around a big splitting axe just to hit a wedge in so I would like a nice short one that I can put on my belt but still has the power and strength to hit a wedge in nicely. cheers

If a life is in danger then that fair enough but some people are saying they would go out for the money -

There is certainly more to life then money, the people that have said they would happily leave their homes Christmas Day to go to work for some money are idiots -
Forestry is my 2nd job as I'm mainly at petrol stations!

I can get a price for you tomorrow if that helps? It will do a transit load in 20 minutes

Surely no one looked at him in his pants and shaved legs and thought, he is all man!

I drive a single cab Hilux, it's great for the work days but then days off it would be nice to have the twin cab I just figured there is no real perfect truck so I'm not bothered, plus side is I'm 23 and it's £460 to insure where as a twin cab was around £900

I play Rugby, Union though not touch rugby (League)
-
Has it been fly tipped along with that rubbish?
-
Haha I was waiting for you to pop up! I had an empty oil drum taken and a load of 2m lengths of ash taken off the back in about 3 minutes!
-
Looks good, would it fit a mk4 and where are you?
-
I wouldn't mind one just I need to put a dog cage in the back most days
-
I have no idea where that is so much be far
-
Hi should of said sorry it's for a single cab.
-
Very true but no tools will be left in it over night and I work in the woods so no one apart from other people I work with will be around. It's just so like if I stop to pop in somewhere or get fuel they are not on show. The fibre glass ones are ok just a bit bulky.
