Forestry Tools for Practical Outdoor Work
Our forestry range is designed for those who need uncompromising reliability in challenging environments. Tools such as felling wedges help guide tree cutting safely and effectively, while marking sprays ensure accuracy when planning cuts or designating work areas. For those using axes in woodland management, accessories like sharpening stones are invaluable for keeping blades in top condition. We also supply carabiners and other essentials to keep your equipment secure and easy to manage when working in the field.
STIHL and Husqvarna are both highly regarded in the forestry sector, and their tools are engineered to withstand the demands of daily professional use. Whether you’re a forester, tree surgeon, or simply a homeowner managing a large plot, our range of forestry tools helps give you confidence, safety, and efficiency outdoors.
Hand Axes and Hammers
Axes and hammers remain among the most versatile and essential pieces of equipment for outdoor and garden use. Our range combines traditional craftsmanship with modern materials, giving you tools that last for years while staying comfortable to use.
Hatchets vs Axes
Both hatchets and hand axes demand a place in any toolkit. Hatchets are compact, lightweight, and designed for single-handed use, making them ideal for camping, light chopping, and splitting kindling. They’re highly portable and easy to pack for outdoor activities. Axes, by contrast, are larger and generally require two-handed operation. Their extra length and weight deliver more power with every swing, making them the tool of choice for felling small trees, splitting logs, and tackling tougher jobs.
Both the hatchets and axes in our collection feature durable steel heads that retain sharpness, paired with handles crafted from either traditional hardwoods or high-performance composite materials.
Looking After Your Axe
To get the best performance from your hand axe or hatchet, a little care goes a long way:
- Sharpen regularly to maintain cutting efficiency and reduce the effort needed when chopping.
- Protect the handle with linseed oil if wooden, and regularly inspect composite handles for signs of wear.
- Clean thoroughly after use to remove resin, dirt, or debris that can damage the blade.
- Store safely in a dry location, ideally with a sheath, to prevent rust and protect the edge.
By following these steps, your axe will remain reliable and effective for years to come.
Powered Hand Tools for Everyday Convenience
For detailed gardening, cleaning, and maintenance tasks, our powered range offers compact tools that deliver impressive results with minimal effort. These garden hand tools are lightweight yet effective, designed to make everyday jobs more efficient.
Our collection includes:
- Secateurs and pruning saws – perfect for trimming small branches and keeping plants healthy.
- Vacuums – handy for cleaning cars, sheds, workshops, or any hard-to-reach corners.
- Pressure washers – a practical way to restore patios, decking, and driveways to their best.
- Compressors – essential for pumping up tyres, sports equipment, or garden inflatables quickly and easily.
These powered tools benefit from the use of cordless technology, offering the freedom to work without cables. Some are sold as standalone units, but we also provide kits complete with battery and charger for added convenience.
The Right Hand Tool for Every Job
The variety in our hand tool range reflects the diverse needs of our customers. Traditional tools continue to play a vital role in gardening and forestry, while modern powered alternatives bring speed and convenience.
At Ron Smith & Co, we believe in offering both types of tool. So, whether you need a traditional axe or efficient cordless pruning saw, you’ll find plenty of options to suit your exact requirements. Explore our full selection of garden hand tools for sale today, and experience the perfect combination of reliability, performance, and value.
FAQs
What small forestry tools are most useful when managing woodland areas?
Essential forestry tools include sharpening stones to keep axes effective, along with wedges and marking sprays to assist felling. Carabiners and other accessories also help keep equipment organised during forestry work.
How do I choose between a hatchet and an axe?
Hatchets are small, light, and designed for one-handed use—best for kindling or camping tasks. Axes are larger, heavier, and generally used with two hands, delivering more power for splitting logs or felling trees. The choice depends on whether you need portability or power.
What are the advantages of powered hand tools in the garden?
Powered hand tools such as pruning saws, vacuums, and pressure washers save time and effort on detailed jobs. They’re compact, cordless, and easy to use, making them ideal for both routine garden maintenance and household cleaning tasks.
