Shovels and Axes

[Commish1999]

What shovels and axes are everyone using? I imagine there are a wide range of opinions on this one!

I use Fiskar (purchased at Home Depot) - Shovel, axe, Hatchet, saw and machete .

Lowes or Home depot both the axe and shovel. I normally carry two shovels one short handled and long handled. The Fiskars axe is great tool.

Fiskers spilting axe I won , standard cutting axe and basic shovel. Honestly the cutting axe does not travel much anymore, I use a bow saw and cut wood to split.

D handled garden spade from Home Depot, just long enough to do some digging, but still fits in my storage box so its not outside. Oversized hand made hatchet in between small axe and standard hatchet. (carry a 14" elec chain saw for clearing trails)

Fiskars hatchet X7 which is already ten or more years old heaviliy used and still going strong. Plus a D-handled no name spade and a Fiskars shovel. The Fiskars shovel is great for sand and snow as it has a wide blade. That one is also quite old and often in use and still in good shape. I like it.

Hi Joe,

I'm not sure which mount you're asking about.
The Molle panel is the steel base mounted to the tailgate, and the rubber quick release mounts I bolted to the Molle panel. You can find the rubber mounts here.
Molle panels can be found in about any size/shape. Some common vehicles have "kits" made to attach over the factory panels. That is very much not the case for my rig. Pretty much have to make everything, but that's something I enjoy. (?)
Hope that helps some.
