>>332185Actually no, every example of that is, by their posters words, from normal use.
>>332225Good for you. It's a good plan to have a redundant supply of inferior products, if one fails, you have something else to use.
Most people don't HAVE three axes. OP definitely doesn't.
I have one hatchet, one axe, and one maul. In the woods, I only have one hatchet.
I'm never in a position where I'd be comfortable waiting on a warranty claim to have a working tool again.
>>332643Because a spare axe handle is available from every hardware store on earth...and if you don't even have time for that, or you're /out/ with your axe, you can easily fashion a new handle from found materials?
If you have multiple spares? That's fine. Again, OP doesn't. Most people don't. And you WON'T have those spares out in the woods.
Again...this is /out/. that should always be a concern. This is not DIY, where we can assume your tools will stay in a shop.
And damn right wetterlings or GFB can break...But they absolutely ARE covered by warranty, wetterlings is a lifetime, GFB is 20 years.
