I've seen the Halder splitting maul. Very cool! I was hoping to find a smaller axe or hatchet with a metal collar though the smallest I've seen is another Ochsenkopf axe with a 500mm handle.
Love those Ochsenkopf Rotband axes. Are there any other manufacturers that use a Rotband metal collar below the axe head? I've seen some Bison axes and Stihl axes that look very similar.
Is there much difference between the Fein Bop 13 and Bop 10 apart from the chuck diameter? I was wondering if it was worth paying extra for the Bop 13.
Kukko have just announced a new type of adjustable spanner called the "Europäer" Series 1900:

Yes, very good. A lot of their stuff is made by other companies.
I bought some Padre combination pliers and nippers that are made by NWS. I think Monte said the spanners were good as well.
