How well do the hypo hatchets work? Never seen one used, but I have always just imagined they don't offer enough advantages relative to the cost.
Oh I still grab a squirt bottle if I'm just working on a 1/4 acre bedding block or if I'm girdling big stuff. The hatchet for me makes a difference if I'm trying to TSI 20 or 30 acres in a fall by myself. Its surprising how much more I can do just spending a few seconds less per tree in a high stem under-story.
