So what you're saying is: for $40 bucks, I can get the best workout...
You’re lightning with the first 2 axes, you never even hit near the same place twice
On the last test,
Was that 6 chops, then you had to pull and brake the wood apart by hand...
so is would have taken more then 6, but you didn’t want to make the nice high dollar axe look bad right...
I have that same Estwing, the black one actually, factory edge needed some touching up but it performs swimmingly in all these tests. Technique plays a big roll. I like to sink it in, then pick it up and bring it down on the back side of the ax. 2 swings and the round is split.
I have this estwing axe... works awesome idk what you are doing wrong Cody. Must be technique. I’ve just gotten used to my estwing and never had issues. Splits like a dream
At 2:00 you can really see how loose the Autine axe was. Good thing it didn't just fly off into the forest.
I think you're seeing a shadow.
I saw it, the handle came loose.
Brings back the memories of all the past axe videos.
any word on the autine axe, did you get it fixed?
The Estwing is better for me as a carpenters axe. The thinner blade is like a large gyprock hammer so I can cut through walls etc rather than trying to split apart stuff. The rubber handle protects against accidental electric shock. I never have to worry about losing it at this price or some one breaking the handle.
I retired after 35 years doing house renovations and just purchased their new all black limited edition.
Before becoming a carpenter I traveled and camped from Canada to the bottom of Mexico and carried the blue version back in the early eighties, for chopping wood and self defense. I want something unbreakable when traveling. For me each type has it's place but as a 35+ year carpenter with mostly estwing striking tools this axe fits my bill. If I were doing chopping regularly then I'd go for something different
what happened to the rest of the video?
It got axed...
haha yes
I use an estwing 44e. Works great as a throwing hawk. Can't hurt it. When you bust the handles on the others you're porked You were testing axes with different head profiles.thats why they were different. If you want performance pick up a Fiskars 29" splitting axe. Can't kill it. I used it logging to drive wedges dropping timber and also to split oak cordwood 16 and 24" It'll chop thru any timber to unstick your chainsaw and has a very sharp edge. That's my 2Cents.
If you have 4 hrs to cut a tree spend the 1st 3 hrs sharpening the ax
Your test is bogus. 3 totally different axes.
I’ll save the big bucks and sharpen my USA made east wing
Who in their right mind would pay over $200 for an axe??
Those kind of axes are the ones you could give your grandkids to use. They're just really high quality and will last generations. It's a buy once cry once situation.
It seems that this 7:07 video just stops without a real ending. No conclusion leving us to wonder which axe was the best "bang-for-the-buck"
Had one of these Estwing axes myself. Where it really shone was limbing, and small stuff. Being really light weight, it was handy for trimming a load that was already on a truck(didn't have a pole saw). Was offered a rifle in trade for it. So the feller had himself an axe that I would otherwise still own...
Isn't this the same footage of the original comparison leaving out the failure of the Autine. It was like epoxied to fill some forging imperfections in the eye on the narrow side when you went investigating.
You then contacted them. Mr. Neeman was apologetic and said send it over no questions asked and we'll fix it. You then fixed it yourself and it was a great tool with a handle properly making contact over the surface area of the eye.
I understand you pulled that video for your own reasons, something like that you felt it wasn't a fair representation of the axe and company as it was a mistake (that we all make) but they were willing to own and rectify it so all's forgiven.
I agreed with that personally. As long as a company is willing to engage with an issue and be honest then problems are just life and perfectly fine.
However I think you should have left in the detail in this video. It's your channel and you have complete authority of course, it just seems you're leaving a huge component of your experience to give an artificial impression to viewers of the video.
I think people for the most part would be ok with it once they knew how communicative the company was and how it turned out very nicely when you made the new handle.
I don't know, maybe Mr. Neeman asked you on a personal level not to let a once off represent his work. I can understand that, but if that's the case I just wouldn't publish the video at all as opposed to altered.
Edit: I went back and looked on your main channel (only realised this was the secondary channel a moment ago) and you have the two videos regarding the challenge there in full. As such I want to apologise for suggesting you haven't put up all the footage and the story. You absolutely have done so. That's fair enough, the information is there at the end of a 5 second search.
I don't know if anyone will answer this, but I would like a comparison between the granfors bruks small forest axe, and the husqvarna equivalent. I would like to know if it's truly worth the extra money. I'm willing to put the edge on myself. So if this would be the only real difference, or is the granfors really that much better?
I have always used a Gransfur Bruks splitting mail, they are awesome, would love to try one of there axes also! Thanks for the information!
I saw it's supposed to be pretty hot (~105°) in the vicinity of Mt. Fuji this weekend, stay hydrated and safe!
Every Single wooden handle axe in my life broke in me in a Short time. I dont know whats the fault but in my opinion only steel handle axes are good axes
Sharpen the Estwing and you will have much better results. I’ve seen tests were it out tests more expensive axes once it’s sharpened. They come very dull.
I and some of your long time followers agree . Please don't show reruns unless you tell viewers first so we don't have to sit there and 2 or so minutes realize you all ready shown that video. You've got to many things hanging that you could be filming instead of showing reruns . Like finish the tree house. Have you lost interest in your channel . Like I said you have many unfinished projects to be showing reruns.
3flashcan He did. He announced in a video on the main channel "CPR + I Did It" video.
I love the axe videos, keep on making them.
That estwing is for hacking and limbing. The fire side friend is for splitting. It has a wider head that weighs 4 lbs
Exactly
why did the video cut off at the end?
Funny..... I've been using estwing for years.. great for chopping bites extremely deep and extremely well your test is completely off
phuck youu, I guess with a handle like that no one should take you seriously. Most people realize that one empirical statement does not a challenge test make. Maybe YOU could put it out there and do something constructive that we can watch.
It amazes me that the distance of strikes isn’t something anyone is talking about the first two shots with the estwig are easily a foot apart compared to his more expensive axes where the first two shots were less than 6 inches apart
@@biggusdikkus4184 Yep! I just watched it again and can clearly see that he struck much closer together with the Autine. Wow. Reading about what happened by another commenter, the Autine head came loose but the video was cut off to not show that in this one. Someone else said that Wranglestar posted it on another video though, which I've not seen yet. Either way, the Estwing only taking 7 hits to split, and the others took 6, is pretty impressive when comparing price. 🤔 I am looking for a splitting axe, but also want one to cut down a tree if I ever had to, so probably going Estwing on this. $40 ? Can't hurt to try it for testing. And I don't have to ever worry about the *HEAD COMING LOOSE!* 🤣
@@Northanteus I agree. If each axe’s performance was proportional to its price, the Autine would’ve split it the first time.
comparing these three is not a good comparison find a $40 dollar ax that has the same head type and then lets see a real test
Tenspeed TheBikeHanger
The only thing you remember is an argument about steel, and how to fix the problem.. which I went out and bought one and rehardened the edge and it was just fine, but I also have 30 years experience with metals....
Tenspeed TheBikeHanger
it was,,, but they harden them to be softer for easier sharpening because most cheap people dont really know how to sharpen properly or are just lazy.... You just wanted to start the same fucking debate all over again. so good bye
Tenspeed TheBikeHanger
then why did you comment? nice and pathetic of you,,, You should watch a movie called "were the jones" It is very enlightening especially from quite a bit of these youtube channels. He wanted the show estwing in a negative light, Like he said hes been doing that for a long time,,remember??? He already knew how it performed and how this video would end. Its all just acting,,, Are you not entertained?
Tenspeed TheBikeHanger
I think it was a discussion at this point. Dont be such a little bitch
Tenspeed TheBikeHanger
and its seems neither can you,, after all you trolled MY comment, not the other way around.. Toodles
Didn't you already upload this?
TheBridgeProduction1 Yes, this channel is for re uploads of old videos that others may not have seen.
What happened at the end of the video there?
At 1:59 when pulling the Autine ax out of the wood the handle is obviously loose..... whats up with that
I have that Estwing axe. When I bought it, they were selling uphill of $50. I have really enjoyed the balance and sturdiness of Estwing hammers and thought the axe looked equally functional. Much to my dismay, and extra effort, it really doesn't seem to bite well when cutting, and the balance and strike angle seem off somehow for splitting. Granted, I don't have as good an edge on it as any real woodsman would insist upon. But it really seems to be a lot more work than it should be.
Along side of really bringing the cutting edge up sharp, are there any recommendations for improving the Estwing axe?
I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure they make a wooden handled estwing for like 60 dolla
Any chance the Gransfors Bruks axes on Amazon are counterfeit? Any way to tell?
Good recommendations thanks
I think you would get better use of the mid priced ax if you polished it up.
when splitting rounds, try aiming closer to the edge, not the middle
The end of the video got cut off?
Was watching the original video last night ;)
Should’ve used a Scandinavian forest axe for the Gränsfors Bruk axe
its wranglerstar replay:) doesnt matter, i sure like it.
Intetesting insightful comparative test.
Overall for a univeral survival Axe,
I'll take the Estwing Campers Axe. While it's not a spliting axe design, the Estwing's solid one piece design has proven itself over time.
Isn't this the Oct. 9, 2013 video from the "primary" channel? "Who Builds The Best Axe? You'll Be Surprised" This is so innovative and awesome....Cody has invented CZcams Re-runs....lol. Episodes are now in syndication....lol.
All depends on were your located, I'm on the Mojave Desert back country and the Estwing is a perfect ax, no big trees just some what a little bit of thick brush. If I was in a Forrest area Montana, Wisconsin, ect definitely the other axes...🪓🪓🪓🍻
Video ends midterm. But for the best.
1.I bet the high polish on the big one makes some difference.
2.These are very different axes in size and weight, not sure how relevant is this test.
3.The Estwing has a goofy head design and the metal handle will hurt your arm joints real bad if used long enough but that is not what it is meant for.
4. What happend with the precious Autine? Since the handle issue I never heard of it again. Under $300 for it is a bargain, guys pay more for stupid pocket knives so wedgy that don't even cut
What's the deal with two wranglerstar channels?
iaxable Couldn't agree more on the pocket knife criticism in point 4
Technique aside I agree very nice.
Why not use the cold steel trailboss axe as the cheapest?
Cody what ever happen to the John Deere crawler?
Russel Brown I just sold it,
anyone know why he has two channels now?
The price said it all
I consider gransfors bricks high end
This seems real similar to this earlier video: czcams.com/video/Xq5vpqHug7s/video.html&feature=iv&src_vid=l94qH9DhvJA&annotation_id=annotation_3610528715 but I may be mistaken
the setting should be a counci boys axe maybe???
I'm very confused; why are you re- uploading your old axe videos?
Robert Pothier Cody is re-uploading older videos so that new subscribers can see them easier.
If they are new subscribers they may not know that he ever posted them.
But the first video is one of his most popular videos, in fact when you search "axe" in youtube it is the second video to come up.
It's spelled "triple." You should get Jack to spell check your text...he seems to be pretty sharp about that stuff. ;-)
Haven't you done this video before?
This is a repeat ... ? Done it and seen it!!!
Didn't you do this already?
Tripple axe?
I got my estwing for 50 bucks and I cant complain , just learn how t o keep your axe sharp .
Axe sharp
Small forest axe cut the vid too.
Aim man.
Estwing 👍
Whos here from the aquaFPS video?
Is this a joke
Your technique us flawed. The estwing is actually superior.
Lol … this is the most obviously biased test/review , I have ever seen! Unsubscribed/thumbs down/sellout.
plesss dont cut tree brother😢
Estwing wins
Eh I’m not so sure about this guy...
What a joke this is ! Pure prejudice towards the money
