In reply to adamarchie:
The Tech Machines are super durable! They are a T rated tool, therefore every aspect of the tool is rated to 400kg's of force. Regardless of your weight or mine, I have put these tools well and truly through there paces and they have come out on top! I have even had them in a vice to test certain things with pulleys, and they are well and truly bombproof! The pick is one of the best and well crafted blades on the market and you would need to be doing something seriously wrong if you made this thing of beauty default.
I would highly recommend the tool to anyone wanting a good all round axe and peace of mind.
I hope this helps and feel free to message me personally if you want any further info or advice.
