$8 Rothco Emergency Survival Hatchet Camp Axe

Best in 720HD

This is a budget priced 4-in-1 tool. It is a mini hatchet, hammer, pry bar, and nail-puller. It is a usable tool but you have to fix up the grip and sharpen the edge.

That's one of the best parts of this channel. You do a review of a low quality tool and you don't run it down the whole video like other tubers. A fair and honest review everytime. What might be junk to one person could be all someone else has. First class channel all the way.

I've seen these for years but never picked one up, my blade snobbery had me thinking that the metal would bevel cheap that it wouldn't take an edge, but alas, my Sensei has shown me the light ;D would make a fine addition to the just in case box in my truck. Thanks for sharing. I think I can dig up enough change in the couch to buy this one!

I always thought that this style of tool was used for opening wooden crates. Great review!

[WeAllJuggleKnives]

Wow, awesome. I am glad to hear that is has held up so well for you over the years.

I have carried one of these on my pack for camping going on 40 years now. They are a great little tool to have around. The only thing that I wish I had is a sheath to cover the edges of the pry tongs and hatchet blade...

I think with a little polishing and sharpening and a better grip that it would be a nice backup or tool for a little light building such as hammering nails or tent stakes, pruning and chopping small diameter limbs for firewood or to build a shelter or anything one might want in a camp. Inexpensive and useful is hard to resist.

I love these "fixer-upper" tools that you have to play with/customize before ready for use good use. I bought one of these little babies yesterday at a hardware shop in the downtown historic part of Quito, for only $4!!! Today, I wrapped some electrical tape for grip (I know it's not the best for this, but you must work with what you have) and will get it sharpened next week for $1. All in all, $5 will be the total spent for a very useful, lightweight tool (and weapon if need be).

This used to be called a roofers hatchet. I've had my Anco Co. hatchet for 30+ years and it is a great little tool.

Nice review, I got one today, on Amazon, 10 bucks, free shipping... gotta love it!

i ground the pry off of mine, found it was in the way.but i did put a v back on it and ground it down.if i need to pry a nail i put a small cut branch under it for leverage.but i feel this is number 1 tool to have.and i love it i paid ten for mine and 6 for my secoand one for my behind the seat tools on my truck

[WeAllJuggleKnives]

Thank you! I always try to review any good value blades I find!

I have this. Mine had a rubber sleeve for a grip that can easily be pulled off. After sharpening it's great. I did snap it in half using the nail pull in the center. I plan on buying another just not using center nail pull.

[WeAllJuggleKnives]

Good man! It is a great little tool, even just as a hammer around the house it pays for itself.

[triagrammer]

My main concern is it's strength as a pry bar. In an emergency situation I need something I can trust. I need to know that this thing won't break if used too pry something..

[WeAllJuggleKnives]

Great plan, yes they will! I enjoy biking, too.

That is a Deal for $8 Bucks for Sure. I Picked a Cold Steel Trench Tamahawk as I felt I needed the Breaching Tool, It also works Great for Zombie Head Shots. Thanks for the Vid.

Long Live R&R and the America Dream!!!

[WeAllJuggleKnives]

And cro bars, fireplace pokers, and boards with nails through them!

[Toastundead]

Excellent vid, might just have to put one in every room of my house... Along with my crazy hawkbill linoleum knifes and baseball bats... Can never be too prepared...

[tbndeereman]

Lee valley has therefore about $12, with a decent wood handle, sold as a box tool. These things were designed for opening, closing, and breaking down shipping crates.
