Supplier of the old model Husqvarna hatchet (502 64 02 01)

[addo]

I'm after one and cant seem to find any left, its the one that looks like this http://www.husqvarna.com/uk/accessories/tools/forest-tools/hatchet-92527/#wheretobuy

Any ideas? If none available i'll try the new one but I like the heavier head and slimmer handle of the old one.

Thanks, Addo.

Just to ask, the new one looks to weigh around 500g? while the old around 715g? is that right?

This is the same as mine and as far as I know its the old design.

Thanks for the links but there all the new fella, except demographics.

I think the new one is listed as 750g from the amazon link and the old one 1 1/2 lb (680g) but with the handle i think the old one will be a tad heavier as I think 1 1/2 lb means just the head.
Both are supposed to weigh between a SFA and Wildlife hatchet which is perfect for me on a short handle and the same as a 1 1/2 ash handled kent pattern I use but so much more sexy, and at that price ideal for buying for courses.

Shame Randy couldn't give me one

That one looks the same as mine but the shaft is two inches longer, which in my view wouldn't be a bad thing at all. Says that one is fifteen inches long or 375mm long, mines thirteen inch or 325mm long and the one there might be better for that extra couple of inches in length.

Cheers guys, I'll give world of power a go. The part no doesn't match the pic, but still worth it at that price.

Had a chat down at the local husky dealer and he's ordered me one in and reckons its old stock so we'll see what turns up. If it works out its Wetterlings for peanuts.

Ratty old chap, if he's randy I'm worried!
