This is the kind of feedback great companies value. Potential customers also value this straightforward and honest evaluation. Given the fact that a portion of the feedback is pure opinion, it's really hard to argue with. I appreciated this video more than I thought I would. Thank you, Mr. Wranglerstar.

If Zippo didn’t do any product testing, why would they listen to feedback? Looks like bean counters have taken over management, who hired a cheap design team. They need to learn from what happened to Kodak.

I actually bought one of these several years ago for a family camping trip. To be fair, it worked for leisurely camping. Cutting some wood, split some, etc. Easy to carry in the boat. I could not imagine using it for any type of industrial/job/serious survival situation. It fills a niche for the suburban weekend (once a year) warrior. It's also pretty cheap. But not a serious tool. Thanks for the review.

I am a professional german Toolmaker for more than three decades now, and I can tell, there is no single reliable allround "survival" tool that proofed over time. A Victorinox is the (pricy) attempt to cover some situation with a foldable tool set If one want to have the Basics for "survival" or camping in their truck or backpack, I personaly would grab my Fiskars X7 hatchet, a Bahco or Silky woodsaw, and a sharp fixedblade knive like a Mora. Not too much money to spent and weight to carry, but very versatile and useful, if you know how to work with. To master these three tools may take some time and lots of practice. As a result of your training you may have a good time in the woods, without injuries.

I think about the amount of production channels like this put into their videos. I don't think people realize how much work goes into something like this. This man has to set up his camera for beautiful shots, walk across a log bridge, then once he makes it across go back for his camera.

Haven’t watched in a long while, but the videography and content is better than I remember. Good job.

when engineers that have never worked with the kind of tool have to design it the hollow haft makes for a storage space, it also makes it vibrate at every chop you save space in your kit with turning it into a saw, but the handle is unwieldy and you would have less discomfort taking a folding saw and a hatchet than taking this thing with you

There is no other content creator I trust to give a no-bull review on an axe/saw. The cinematography is fantastic and improves every video. Makes me long to see the PNW again.

I’d love to see a wranglerstar version of all these “ultimate” survival tools. I think you would be more than able to do it. I’d like to see how you if it was your company’s own would you make it better and actually useable

I've already tried a few axes, and in the end I got stuck with a right-handed Upper Bavarian carpenter's pick. i got the hatchet out of the scrap at work because the house was broken, i welded it together and got myself a new handle. and now it is my favorite hatchet.

I feel like they could have fixed every problem with the ax head AND given a better handle for the saw too. Give it a nice round base for the ax blade, then let the ax flare out from there. Having a wide handle would give it more strength, so it can have less depth so its easier to hold as a saw, and that extra width gives you more room to make a good taper for splitting and cutting.

If you do read this I have to say one thing the amount of effort you put into making content for us to watch is incredible thank you buddy 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Just a thought. You do so many reviews on survival tools. You’re obviously well-versed in this subject. I think you should design one yourself. One that you think would cover all the cons. Have it made an America. I’d buy one for sure! So long as I knew you designed it.

Axe handles are VERY important.. For more than most people realize. Anyone who's seen an Amish man at the Store testing out 30 axle handles from a big box knows this... "look at handle, switch angle 12 times, look at each time, hold up to light, look down shaft of handle from 20 angles this time.. Make a bunch of different faces... Hit handle against shoe 15 different ways, feel the vibration, hold up to ear and listen to the sound, make even more faces, bounce off of floor, same as the shoe process, more faces, most resembling how you'd look at a child who disappointed you.... 3 minutes later, grab next axe handle and repeat the whole process. There could absolutely be an entire KZread channel called "Amish guy examines axe handles" and it would be a huge hit. Lol and don't take this the wrong way, I'm not ripping on them, I love the Amish people around here and get along with them very well, have great respect for the way they choose to live, and the conviction of their religious beliefs in this ever more degenerate country.. But if you ever get the luck of being in a store, especially a place like a home depot, Lowes, menards... Somewhere they probably dont want to be, but needed an emergency axe handle. Relatively quick..just watch. Hell strike up a conversation... They're generally quite friendly and you'll definitely learn something.

Alright sir, I've been watching your stuff for a looooong time. And this new direction of humor, this self effacing, not taking it overly serious tone is frankly, hilarious. It's quite endearing, I used to think you where a little too much serious especially of yourself. But ever since the "Professional Home Owner" persona has appeared, there certainly is a lighter tone. It's my opinion, a persona is an excellent mechanism to separate yourself a little from the private you. Not everything is for everyone always.

I have this tool which was a gift from a friend. It's not the most comfortable handle but like any camping or survival situation you have to make sacrifices. Either you carry more tools and take up more room and add weight to your pack. This tool works great for the intended sized material to be cut in a survival situation. In an actual survival situation you don't need to cut big trees or split big logs. Wearing gloves makes a difference when using the tool as well and its uncomfortable handle. The saw is great for cutting limbs to make a shelter as well as firewood. The axe is good for notching limbs when building a shelter. Does it do as good as a quality axe? No but it's not intended to. Does the saw work as good as an independent bow saw? No but it isn't intended to replace your good bow saw. Saving space and weight in your pack is important when hiking and camping to allow you to bring more with you and keep you from getting exhausted and dehydrated. Unrealistic expectations are what many of the comments are based on.

We agreed to never speak of the osis survival kit again, Bane. Never happened

good review, not much of an outdoorsmen myself so I would trust your judgement on this

all been said. thanks. its def a no go. gets on my nerves how big rep brands all become slackers for bigger profit without improvements. support hardworking passionate small brands folks. respect \m/

The one thing I have always admired about Cody is how much effort he puts into his videos. Hiking up a volcanic wasteland to test a cheap axe is not something the toughest East Coast man would do.

@@Life-ob3cn okay, I’m still just confused as to why the “toughest east coast man” couldn’t do what he did 😂 this dude ain’t even that fit, and statistically, meaning per capita, the east coast has harder working men

I appreciate that!

GREAT review sir!!! These corporate junkies need to get a feel of their own sauce. God bless you man

4:16 " Can anyone tell me what that sounds like?" Me a man of culture: It sounds exactly like a Call of duty hitmarker sound!

Been in the Big Lava Beds and aint going back, that did look like junk to me.

I like his style , thats a commitment. to set up a camera to get a specific shot , then go back and get it. its all about good footage....

It's really cool that you know tools so when you use stuff you know exactly what to look for it's kind of like how a carpenter can see all the things done incorrectly when a normal person would never even think twice about it. It's really cool how you implement the tools in a way that they should be used and then we see how poorly they were designed by the manufacturer when they can't hold up for the simplest tasks. What I would like to know is who are these tools aimed at? You're better off just buying a quality saw and hatchet that won't even run you $80 for the pair.
