I have just purchaced a very cheap hatchet for removing tree roots with. A "Supertool" that was sharp, but is now not good.
I am looking into getting a propper wood splitting tool of some sort, and was wonndering what is the best handle material is, as the hatchet I have just bought had a basic soft rubber grip, and has brought blisters to my hand quickly.
I have hammers, (stanley, JCB) with expensive synthetic grips that do not seem so irritating to skin, and am looking for pointers and opinions on the best type handle.
