Merry Christmas Sootch!

Fantastic paperweight... just my 2 cents :)

No disrespect sootch but I think you’d get more respect from your viewers if you called out trash as trash instead of pretending it’s in anyway useful.

I have to agree with most just get an ax This seems Impractical however it has made me want to go shopping for Tomahawk a real Tomahawk

I appreciate you attempting to put a positive spin on that over priced hipster glamping gadget but there is a zero percent chance of that thing lasting past a month with med to hard use let alone if you had to put your physical well being in the hands of Klax. .....Merry Christmas to you and the family though brother!

Not practical, at all. Sorry

I thought the $140 for the axe head was hilarious until I saw the price for the handle. $30! Lmao! I could just buy a quality hatchet for $50 (including the handle) and pay a machinist $50 to cut the tools into the head.

Use it as a screwdriver lol cmon

The only useful thing on it is the hatchet part and it sucks at it. It’s a novelty I can’t see a practical purpose lol

there is a very good reason that ax heads are a one-piece steel construction and there is a very good reason they have a prominent wedge on them this is nothing more than a novelty and any real survivalist would throw this in the ditch after a week

Cool concept but now way it’ll stay tight to the handle after substantial force

I've got small pocket tools that do everything extra that this can.. and an actual axe where I don't have to worry about the head falling off after some chopping. Swing and a miss on this design.

Excellent video, Don! Wow, that particular $150 Battlebox is a bargain if it comes this highly engineered, $140 survival axe head. It would be interesting to see someone fashion a usable handle from found material, just as one might in a survival situation if one only had the axe head. It would also be interesting to see the Klecker Klax in action to make a complete survival shelter and process firewood for a full night out in the woods.

Very Cool tool Sootch00. Long live the republic Sir

Nice review, but I'm going to pass on this trinket.

It should have a cover for the blade. If it slipped because of a bad nut or screw it could really slice you up good.

Merry Christmas all.

Good video, wish you demonstraighted its use with any decent wood that was laying around as I think that was a selling point.

I've been looking at other versions of this concept for a couple years now. They looked a bit too gimmicky for the price. My Grandfather carried a tomahawk head for camping, that was the same idea - attach it to a length of wood in the field. It just didn't have the other bells and whistles.

Good review, but I would never buy this.

Wow! After reading all the comments I would say that not many have used a light hatchet. Try the sog hatchet. It's light for packing but doesn't cot any better than this. I would say that this is a little pricey but does what it's supposed to for it's application.

I'll stick to my Wetterlings small hunters axe. That wacky gimmick looks like it will be easy to accidentally get cut quick with.

$139.00 for an axe head!? They can keep it!

Cool idea! Still, I’d rather not have my driver handle literally be a knife.

It looks like the stuff that usually comes in the Battlebox. Shelf items that you never use. The background music was nice.

Great review- and that will not take up a lot of room in my backpack

Thank you and Merry Christmas everyone.

I have seen this in a Kickstarter video while it seems like a great concept and it appears to be well engineered. I much would rather have a good boys axe or a good hatchet. Man attached a handle to the axe a few millennia ago, the Holy Grail has been to haft the handle to the head so it doesn't come off. I don't see how having a tool like this is better then a GFB, Council Tool, or Fiskars axe. If I am putting this in a B.O.B or a survival kit I would rather have a axe I don't have to worry about flying off the handle.

*Happy Holidays and Great New Year to you* Sensible Prepper and family

Wow, very useful. I'm sure that my brother would borrow it and forget to return it. Merry Christmas all.

Did they put my thought into their name? Or maybe they did and are making the Klan proud.

Just curious. Why do you try to cut wood straight down? Wouldn't be more effective cutting a V formation?

carbon content of steel doesnt affect its ability to produce sparks with a ferrocerium rod... just with a flint

Well if I had nothing else this would make a good kickstand or make a good kickstand.

Thumbs up if this made you join the Klecker Klax Klan

i wanted to see him make another handle out of some random piece of wood

that thing is junk

This will be my new belt buckle.

I’m not trying to be cheap but all of it together for $80 I would be all over it

Cool toy.

Id love to see your current bug out bag for christmas

Nice! Merry Christmas to you and yours too!

I could get the axe + all of it's "features" for under 50 bucks. Also, Merry Christmas

And Mary Christmas to you and your hole family and have a safe new year

Sootch, I'm a long time subscriber to both channels and appreciate your videos. However I don't think I've ever seen a negative review. Not every piece of gear deserves a positive review. That thing looks like an overpriced piece of junk. Do you honestly believe that it is good advice to recommend your viewers to buy that thing instead of spending the money on a decent knife and hatchet that will actually perform? Wouldn't it be better to tell everyone that it's a neat gimmick but not a substitute for the proper tools? An objective opinion would be so much more valuable. Just say what everyone is thinking: "this thing looks neat but it's really an overpriced piece of crap".

Needs more weight. Your working harder than the tool.

Well, it is really ingenious. But... have a great Christmas, and I’m looking forward to what 2019 brings. God bless.

You are too kind. This gadget does nothing that a real ax or real multitool will not do better for less..

Looks to be dull as hell! Need to sharpen it before use, so it won't wear you out.

Could you do a vid on simple faraday cages

Seems like a clunky junk novelty item. Call budk, maybe they will carry it 👎🏻

Cool little tool. A little pricey but still cool.

Merry Christmas Brother. I like the axe! Thumb's up~John

Looks to me like it would absolutely wear you out using it as an axe

OK, wow, what will they come up with next, I like it Sootch, pretty cool, $35 - $50 dollars cool, little outta my price range, thanks for the review, God Bless, brother. (Kevin) !

But not the sootch shed?

I don’t know a real axe has some weight to help with the work. A tomahawk with a removable handle would be a better choice. But I would give it a b- because you could use a wedge and some use as a multi tool. And the name does suck.

A thumbs down already? WTF.. love your videos 👍👍👍 happy holidays everyone..

Looks like they may have upgraded these since i threw mine away. It was absolute garbage. Wouldnt stay tight at all, wouldnt hold an edge on the axe or knife section, and the sheath sucked.

Merry Christmas .

These are selling for $50-$60 on ebay

What about the handle getting a little crack? R u gonna mention it? Don't b bias

i like it ,Merry Christmas

Complete gimmicky overpriced junk. You're better off buying an actual hatchet.

Nice review, but seems way too expensive. Merry Christmas.

Gutripper, cordcutter, seatbelt cutter, all incorrect names for a bottle opener :-p Nice concept but not good enough and especially not at the price... I may modify an existing Axe to add features but I don't have spare money for gear to showoff in the gardenbar...

They just fixed a problem that didn’t exist. Tomohawks already have removable heads and are much simpler. Also they work a lot better than that crap.

klecker klax? somebody get a rope! Haha this is definitely American made!

An OCD Axe head. Definitely will pass on that.

pretty cool! merry xmas bro'

Harbor Freight axe: $7.99

It's one of those gimmicky things you might buy but never really use.

Looks cool, would probably get one to throw into a bugout bag.

$150+ with the handle included??? That's shocking...No Thanks!!!!!! I might consider one if it was about $30 w the handle.

Positive review on a gimmick?

Interesting concept, but it doesn't look like it does anything well.

Can’t believe you’d review such trash

The Ku Klux Klan lumberjack multitool axe

FFS use an axe for its intended purpose..an AXE. You can buy a credit card tool that does all that and will work better for all that extra stuff. More moving parts = more places to fail.

I would like to have it, just too pricey for me.

Ethics or common sense issues with this? The thing is a pricey laugh...The only stupider device is the Titanium model for 600 bucks...

Klecker klack klan

Remains the dumbest piece of gear I’ve ever heard of. $130 for an axe head, that you have to either build your own handle or buy theirs (wtf?) because you might need a wrench or guy hook, so that’s totally worth having just an axe head that might fall off whatever handle you’re using. I’ll never understand how this made it past the first meeting, let alone into production. Sootch kicks ass, this tool just doesn’t.

Harbor freight Hatchet $5.99 on sale. This thing is a way over priced gimmick.

Think this is a great idea but way overpriced especially here in the UK at £100+ at the lowest end. There are a few other alternatives that have a similar design but require lashing to a stick/handle. They are very overpriced too as the steel isn't anything special and that is without a handle. In all honesty it won't be long before chinese knock off versions of these are floating around for a fraction of the price. It's a shame because if the price was right I think a lot of people would be interested in one of these and get behind the company that came up with the concept. can't make up my mind if it is production cost or greed driving up the price. I could easily buy an exceptional and complete gransforsbruks or hultafors axe for the price of one of these without any messing around and you could trust it with your life. Not convinced that I could trust this. I could buy my fast hawk 3 times+ over and the weight saving wouldn't be much better. Can't quite figure out what could possibly make someone value one of these at this price vs a complete tried and tested exceptional axe design that works. Just doesn't make sense to me.

Hey all you haters out there. Dont knock it till you try it.

Overpriced. Can't even buy the handle right now and it's impossible to even cobble one up... certainly not in the field. It's a gimmick.

Utter inconvenient and unnecessary nonsense, for children done.

I wouldn't buy it, I wouldn't use it, give it to anyone else to use, only use I would have for it might be a paperweight...aw, okay it is completely useless as even a paperweight.

That looks fucking awful. Just like every other "multi-tool", useless at a variety of jobs, good at none.

For 160 dollars you can get better tools.

You knuckle heads. It's not a tool you keep in your garage and if you carry a full sized axe, a set of wrenches, and a knife in your pack, then you're probably a Sherpa that doesn't watch KZfaq.

Multi-purpose tools are not able to do anything good

Junk ! Get a real axe
