If Money rules I will go for Fiskars, if not for Gränsfors...

Fiskars it is then, ...cant justify more than double for the GB

B&Q do fiskars tools so if you have a tradepoint card or a discount card might get it cheaper.
I have a set of fiskars loppers, not bad for the price.

remember when we made axes in Britain ? Greave's, Brade's, Gilpin, Staniforth for example
car booters keep your eyes out for old heads and reshaft them yourself rather than import, Kent style heads especially useful

Merc Doctor, Hakuna Matata and I all bought the £8 ALDI one (think I got mine for a fiver) and have been really happy with it - Marcus particularly who seems to chop wood continually to feed that furnace of his. Its a bonded unit so no chance of head departing company and its been given some welly. Really handy tool and not expensive.

Got these a while back £6.00 each , they get used a lot excellent value , very happy with them .

Thats the one. Excellent axe. Good sized handle too rather than some of the stumpy ones I tried.

E D I T: As Hakuna and I were discussing, you only really need it at the beginning of a fire to create kindling, after that you just chuck on whatever you've got or can find. If you've got bigger bits, an axe is no good - need a chainsaw then.
