BRADAS plastic-handled universal axe 1.25 kg head, 80 cm handle

BRADAS plastic-handled universal axe 1.25 kg head, 80 cm handle is a mid-weight hand tool designed for general-purpose chopping, splitting small logs and routine garden tasks. The axe pairs a forged metal head with a molded plastic shaft to provide a combination of cutting performance and user comfort. Its 1.25 kg head delivers sufficient striking force for household and light outdoor uses, while the 80 cm handle offers extended reach and leverage for controlled swings.

Advantages

The forged steel head ensures consistent cutting edge geometry and durability under normal use. The plastic handle is molded to the head to reduce vibration transfer and improve grip stability during repeated swings. The 80 cm length balances power and control, making the tool suitable for users who need reach without sacrificing manageability. The overall construction supports straightforward maintenance: the head can be sharpened and the handle cleaned without special tools.

Suitable for

• Chopping small to medium-sized logs for firewood
• Splitting kindling and trimming branches in the garden
• General outdoor maintenance and campsite tasks
• Homeowners and hobbyist users requiring a versatile axe

Key specifications

• Head weight: 1.25 kg
• Handle length: 80 cm
• Handle material: molded plastic
• Head material: forged metal
• Tool type: universal / general-purpose axe

How to use

Use the axe with a two-handed grip, placing one hand near the base of the 80 cm handle and the other hand closer to the head for initial positioning; slide the top hand down as you swing to increase leverage. Aim strikes at the wood grain where splitting is effective, and allow the head weight to carry most of the force rather than forcing the swing. Keep a clear, level chopping area and stable footing; wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection. Maintain the cutting edge by regular sharpening and check the molded handle connection to the head before each use.

Usage recommendations

Store the axe in a dry place to prevent corrosion of the metal head and avoid prolonged UV exposure to the plastic handle. For splitting larger logs, make multiple targeted strikes or use a purpose-built splitting tool. Inspect the head for chips and the handle for cracks periodically; replace the tool if structural damage is detected.
