Corona Tools Donates assorted tools to the Trails Committee
Box of goodies!
On November 15th, a Sunday, FedEx showed up at my door with a big heavy box. I thought, “what did I order?”. The box was from Corona Tools in California. Then I remembered. A few days ago, while I was helping fellow members Ignacio Leon and Mitch Waldman clear up a downed tree, Mitch noticed I had a Corona hand saw I was using to cut some fairly large limbs. Turns out, Corona Tools is a client of Mitch’s in the Home Improvement space.
Mitch spoke with his contacts at Corona and they offered to send tools for us to use on our trail work.
The package contained some serious cutting tools, ranging from high end pruners to machetes, saws and an awesome pair of loppers.
I tried them out this afternoon in my back yard on downed branches, dead limbs and such. They are really good quality, comfortable with their special grips and cut anything like butter.
My own saw that I use on trails and at home, I had initially purchased on Amazon, where it had great reviews. I’ve had it many years until it got dull while we tried to use it to cut a chainsaw out of a fallen log that got stuck. The blade got dull so I went back to Amazon and bought another one.
So I’m excited that the Trails Committee will have now additional tools for our next work day. A bucket works well to carry them to the worksite. But you can have the pruner and folding saw in your pockets, and the larger saw and machete attached to the belt with their holders too.
I love these loppers! They are seriously awesome. Here they are with their handles extended. They cut tough dead mountain laurel branches like butter. Great strength and torque.
Many thanks to Mitch and Corona Tools for this very generous donation to help us keep our trails in great condition. These are good quality tools, that I recommend to anyone. They can be found online, at Ace, Home Depot and Lowe’s.
Happy Trails,
Liz
High quality pruners, 7 inch folding saw, 13 inch saw with leather scabbard, machete with sheath.
18 inch machete with sheath. Comfortable handle, well-balanced tool.
This is a 14 inch cane knife. The hook at the top is used to grab canes to pull them toward you, then you cut them with the bottom sharp edge. I’ve never used one of these, but I expect it to prove useful to cut those pesky briars we have so many of, encroaching the trails in the summer with their sharp thorns.
Easy to take to do trail work.
