Looking for a durable machete that can be used to cut small trees and limbs. And larger things if I want. Bought a Gerber and within a couple of swings, the blade was already bent/chipped. Any ideas below$100?

Machetes have their limitations and will disappoint (and tire you) in trying to cut larger things as you state and forget about trying to baton wood for kindling processing with a machete.
The Kershaw Camp series (14 and 18) will handle what you need and then some and I can attest they hit with authority with their thicker blades.

Short but dynamic, this brush hook is perfect for cutting smaller branches from trees and makes stripping bark from logs simple. It sits neatly in the hand thanks to its deep curved shaft end with a hollow light weight FiberComp shaft and tactile SoftGrip inlay. Its re-engineered backwards...

I have a Sog that’s been great.
All these dudes are bsing, I can show you what a gavilan can do!!! Behind my subdivision( land owned by my association ) there is a pond stocked with bass and bream. The issue was making a path and cutting out fishing spots. If weather permits I will post pictures tomorrow of what I did with my machete! I have cut trees as thick( pines) as 4x4s or more and even barbed wire. Technique and weight makes a huge difference when using a machete !
