Estwing Camper's Axes | The best axes for the weekend camper 

I love estwing hachets and axes and for splitting the fire side friend is awsome

Thanks for comparing them with the wood-handeled axes and showing the proper applications for these axes. Nobody else gives this information.

On the day that civilization collapses, I want one of these nearby. They just never let their owners down.

Love ur channel I've been working at Estwing for 6 years now .amazing family company amazing tools love it.

Love Estwing

I've had the long handled version for a couple years and cut a few hundred trees down with it ranging in size from saplings to 24in diameter pines sweet gums and tulip populars eve the larger softwood trees are easy to cut with this axe on a popular or similar soft tree it bites 3 to 4 inches in on the first swing iv'e cut trees with it for 8hrs strait and it will cause some blisters if you go that hard with it but no deep in the bone pain like you get from shock so i'd say the handles pretty effective and i love how lightweight and indestructable it is

First experience with an Estwing axe for me: Axe throwing at the new sports bar. Very tough axes that can stand up to literal abuse.

I like your videos! congrats on 1k followers!

Love your channel!!

Thanks!

absolutely 💯 cool ❤

Very good products, I have all three of them. No vibration whatsoever if you use good leather gloves, can chop for very long periods.

You did it papa! Lmao

I bought a carpenters hatchet with the blue rubber handle couple of years ago when I was getting into axe throwing as a hobby (nothing but time here in the sticks so why not) and I bought it because of some RU-vid video that rated the estwing "the best throwing axe" you could probably have.. sooo I ordered one not paying attention that it is a US company and and I live in Finland so that little axe cost a pretty penny and getting it through customs was pain in the ass. It is pretty awesome hatchet, indestructible but not the easiest throwing axe for beginners but with a little practice it was ok. Nowadays it rides with me in my car cause its actually the only "work axe" I have... 80€ francisca throwing axe cant actually do anything if I had to chop up fallen branches etc from road. So yay

Pros: slim so they pack well. Love mine. Con as you mentioned is the vibration. But only for longer/busier jobs.

Good video. I have the 26" & the leather handled short Sportsman Hatchet. I also bought the short orange handled axe for my son which is good but I slightly prefer the ergos of the leather handled hatchet. In my use where These things really shine is for cutting green wood from about 1"-4". For cutting trails/landscaping use they're my go to tool. That being said, the 26" is really brutal on vibrations if you're planning on bucking/felling small hardwoods. With the light head you really have to accelerate the tool to be effective. I had a bunch of standing deadwood & some storm cleanup of various maple/birch/poplar e.t.c... in the 2"-6" diameter range & after a few trees the shock was bad enough I had to get a different tool. I find it difficult to sufficiently accelerate the axe while maintaining a relatively loose grip in an attempt to mitigate shock. Just for a point of reference I'm a big guy with XXL mitts & have spent my life in construction, the shock from my the 28", in that application was the worst I can recall. While I do keep a sufficiently sharp convex edge on her, I have also found that she can have a tendency to be glance more than similar 3/4 axes with just a bit more mass in the head. Admittedly that's user error but nevertheless a problem I don't experience with other axes. The last con would be the tendency to stick pretty bad in medium sized softer woods, splitting or chopping. The Geometry that makes her a great slicer also lends itself to getting buried sometimes. While those are some pretty significant cons, all in all it's still a good tool & would still reccomend it for general purpose/green wood cutting and light splitting tasks.

I like that orange handle. Hopefully estwing makes a full size like that. Makes it easier to find in the dark

USA made, Rockford, IL, less than two hours from me. Would not do without ESTWING tools. I do not want plastic handles (high tech) or not and if you pound hard with the back of wood handled axe head it can distort and loosen up.

You need the e24a. The 14" with a leather handle.

My local Home Depots no longer carry the American made Estwing tools, choosing to replace them with cheap Chinese made junk. I no longer shop at Home Depot. They appear to be going down when compared with Lowe's who continue to carry Estwing tools, and have earned my business.

Ive got a bunch of em.

I feel like a serious person tests their tools hard. Some people neglect their tools. Other people subject them to brutality to see if it is what they were looking for. Others treat them nice and don't get anything done. I guess in the end, if we're lucky, we are the old men who can accomplish much with little. Thanks for the video.

I sortof wanna have kids now

The 26 is not one piece, rusted and separated at yellow seam tape

I have the 26 inch campers axe, the head is bent a little bit to the right where the steel meets with the blue handle, any tips on fixing that?

🥳🪓🎉

Congrats on 1k. My new estwing axe 26: (in black) is it's way and I am EXCITED. 🥳🎉🪓🪵🤘
