Axe Dedra 13M812 — universal plastic-handled head 1 kg

Dedra Axe 13M812 is a universal hand tool with a 1 kg head and a plastic handle designed for chopping, splitting small logs and general outdoor or workshop tasks. The medium-weight head provides controlled swings while the plastic handle reduces vibration and resists weathering, making the tool suitable for home, garden and light forestry use.

Advantages

The 1 kg steel head balances impact force and control for a range of cutting and splitting jobs. A plastic handle lowers the risk of rust and deterioration compared with untreated wooden handles and helps dampen shock transmitted to the user’s hands and arms. The compact weight and universal head profile make the axe easy to handle for users with varying experience levels and for tasks that require precision rather than heavy felling.

Suitable for

• Chopping small logs and kindling
• Light splitting and trimming in the garden
• Workshop tasks that require a compact axe
• General outdoor maintenance and campsite use

Key specifications

• Head weight: 1 kg
• Handle material: plastic (non-metallic)
• Head material: steel
• Tool type: universal axe for chopping and splitting

How to use

Hold the axe with a firm two-handed grip, placing one hand near the head for guidance and the other at the end of the handle for power. Position the wood on a stable chopping block and strike with controlled, steady swings aimed at the grain or a prepared notch. For splitting, start with smaller strikes to establish a split, then increase force as needed. Maintain a clear work area and ensure a secure stance to control recoil and avoid injury.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the head-to-handle connection and sharpen the cutting edge when it becomes dull. Store the axe in a dry place away from direct sunlight or prolonged moisture to preserve the plastic handle and steel head. Use personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when chopping or splitting.
