What will do the job

[EMcDannell]

So i need a tool that will work for light duty chopping but will stand up to heavy prying and hammering. I was looking at the cooldsteel trailhawk but i read some posts that said they weren't to good for the prying part and maybe not even good for hammering. So I'm looking for someone who has experience with a specific tool( brand, model any info you can give me). I'm hoping not to need some type of full sized ax but i understand I might be asking a lot of something more compact. Thanks for any help guys

I'm sure this question had been asked before and i tried searching but didn't find anything. If thee is a similar thread and you could provide a link that would be equally awesome.

Heavy prying and hammering, as well as chopping?
You might be better off carrying a separate prybar.
Otherwise, here's a not-so-compact tool that should do the job.

Firemaxx Combination Tool

One piece drop forged
Heat treated with self-extinguishing Celtex grips

Drop forged 4140 metal
Axe head: 45-48 RC
Axe cutting blade: 52-56 RC

Weight: 7 lbs.
Length: 26"
(22" also available)

"Axe will go through sheet metal and cut windshields for auto extrications and wood for forcible entries
Hammer will go through concrete grouted walls, doors, windows, etc."

i have one as well as a couple GB's, but when i want to beat the hell out of something or need a pry bar. i go for the estwing. it was designed to be abused IMO...

Have to agree with bearhunter on this one!
