Your choices are excellent, especially in your neck of the woods. Anyone who disses you on the choice of combis', obviously is fairly inexperienced. Nothing better when you're digging 6' of root system to chase down a heat during mop-up ops. And when in desperate need of a tool that's heavy enough to put on a hot stump hole and warm your breakfast on-the Combis' the tool of choice. I've used all of these tools at nauseum (you can win some pretty good bets with that Super P and wrist strength challenges) in all positions in tool order for many years. Every tool you just purchased are great choices for your fuel type. Maybe a monkey paw might be a nice addition to keep the Cap. busy?
I helped 2 guys contain a 1/2 acre brushfire. Me and one of them had fence boards. The 3rd man had a machete. Somehow we manage to knock it down. Planning on getting an e-tool for the trunk of my car. Hard work but well worth the effort.
My very first natural cover fire I issued a Brush Beater. Now I don’t think they use that draconian device anymore but here it is. It is a 18’ square rubber flap that look suspiciously like a Conveyor Belt or a Tractor Trailer mud flap. It hangs from a steel rod and is connected to a 8 or 10” handle. The objective of this tool is to beat the hell out of the ground cover, or ladder fuel. Kind of reminds me of the blind guy on Robin Hood, men in Tights. I found I beat the fire faster if we were in that Southern California Chaparral, man that stuff can burn.
@@wills1110 hoes and rogues are awesome, I'm not sure how anyone can say other wise unless they aren't using them right. McLeod and Pulaski were envious of when the caption let someone on the line let them switch for his tool.

Combi tools are worthless. Too small. The only good tool you have here is the Super P.
not to mention the lock nut get jammed VERY badly with the slightest bit of dirt and mud in it
@@WoodCutr1 I've never had much issue with them, hoes or rhinos are better but combis are useful still
@@wills1110 hmm, for me atleast, ive never had good luck
