Marshy , I've done the studs a couple of times and always popped out a few of them so I gave up doing it.
The traction is excellent with them but I scored a pair of them with caulks , best traction ever , no caulks popping out.
Ambull, find a good vintage ax head and haft it you're self , more skills gained.
I just carry either my oxhead with a 24" haft or my hults bruks with a 26" haft for knocking wedges , bumping knots and for a quick measuring stick.
I'll rarely chop down a tree with an ax , I have a chainsaw for that
