Frequently Asked Questions
Need help choosing the right forestry tools? Here are answers to some common questions.
What is the difference between an axe and a splitting axe?
A splitting axe is designed specifically for splitting firewood and features a wider head that forces timber apart. Standard felling axes are designed for cutting across wood fibres when felling or limbing trees.
What is a breaking bar used for?
Breaking bars provide extra leverage when felling larger trees, helping safely guide the direction of the fall while preventing the tree from pinching the chainsaw guide bar.
When should I use splitting wedges?
Splitting wedges help separate large or difficult logs that cannot easily be split with an axe alone. They are commonly used when preparing firewood or splitting oversized rounds.
What are lifting tongs and log hooks used for?
Lifting tongs and log hooks make it easier to lift, drag and move heavy logs while reducing strain on your back. They improve both safety and efficiency when handling timber.
What are forestry measuring tapes used for?
Forestry measuring tapes are designed to accurately measure logs and timber lengths during harvesting, milling and firewood preparation.
Do I need special safety equipment when using forestry tools?
Yes. We recommend wearing appropriate personal protective equipment including chainsaw helmets, hearing protection, eye protection, gloves, chainsaw chaps or trousers and suitable safety boots whenever working with forestry tools and chainsaws.
Do you stock genuine Husqvarna forestry tools?
Yes. We stock genuine Husqvarna forestry tools and accessories, trusted by homeowners, farmers, arborists and forestry professionals throughout New Zealand.
Can your team help me choose the right forestry tools?
Absolutely. Whether you're preparing firewood at home or working in commercial forestry, our experienced team can recommend the right tools to suit your needs.
