Off-Grid Tools Survival Axe Elite

I have one of these from the Battlebox. First off, this ISN'T a woods tool. It's not really designed to be a one tool option for the woods. This is more of an urban survival tool. Part of an escape and evasion kit. This thing will chop through drywall, pry open locked/stuck doors, and cut through light gauge metal, break glass and cut through electrical wiring. It also has some secondary tools like a gas valve wrench etc. This is not to say you can't take it too the woods and drive tent pegs and chop kindling with it but I think there are better tools for that. It comes with no sheath and doesn't really need one because mine came rather dull and for the chopping and smashing its designed to do a sharp edge would only be ruined on the first cinder block you smash with it. The saw is use full in a pinch but because it's so short you can't get much of a stroke with it. It takes standard sawzall blades available at any home depot etc. It comes with a metal cutting blade and to be honest although a wood blade does fit, a wood blade would probably be too aggressive to use by hand as they are designed to be machine driven. Like any multi tool, the more tasks you try and make it do, the less well it does any individual task. As far as value goes, I think the massdrop price is more in line with quality and usefullness of this tool, at the MSRP I wouldn't be a buyer.

Ironman0063I live on the South Side of Chicago. I used to tag abandoned buildings and such as a kid, but in all honesty why would anyone need this tool, other than to illegally scrap in abandoned building or go tagging up such buildings? I have been surviving in urban America for decades, and I never needed a tool such as this.
