Forestry tools are hand tools and equipment used for working in the forest—such as for tree felling, firewood processing, and clearing. They include axes, felling levers, wedges, lifting hooks, log tongs, and hand saws.

For splitting firewood, splitting axes and wedges are commonly used. For tree felling, tools like felling axes, felling levers, and felling wedges are typical. Log hooks and tongs are helpful for moving or turning heavy logs.

Choose tools based on the type and intensity of work. Factors like weight, grip comfort, and balance are important to reduce the risk of strain or injury. For frequent use, invest in ergonomic and durable tools from trusted manufacturers.

Clean tools after use, dry them off, and store them in a dry place. Axes and saws should be sharpened regularly to maintain performance. Also check for cracks in wooden handles and remove any rust from metal parts.
