Hatchets are going into layer 2 (left hand), which lets them be equipped at the same time as pickaxes for example, and incompatible with utility left-hand items like lanterns and torches.
I suggest a move to layer 1 (right hand) as per all other gathering tools.

Thought hatchet needed two free hands to work.
Re: Hatchet layer
True. I can't imagine operating a pickaxe efficiently in real life with one hand either. But for the sake of playability, I think we can live with this inconsistancy and let tools be used together with lanters/torches.
