Axe Ochsenkopf OX 43-0510

The Ochsenkopf OX 43-0510 axe by Gedore is a compact, durable splitting wedge designed to improve wood-splitting efficiency. Measuring 100 mm wide, 140 mm deep and 27 mm high, the axe head combines robust construction with an ergonomic shape for reliable everyday use. Acute angled grooves on the front face and double longitudinal grooves on the back reduce the risk of the wedge jerking back during splitting, and the tool is especially suitable for use with a motor saw.

Advantages

The acute angled grooves on the front and the double longitudinal grooves on the back minimise bounce-back when splitting wood, increasing user control and safety. Its compact dimensions make the axe head easy to handle while maintaining effective splitting force. Manufactured by Gedore to standard quality parameters, the OX 43-0510 offers consistent performance for both home and professional tasks.

How to use

Select a stable work surface and secure the log before splitting.

Drive the wedge into the wood until it splits, and repeat as necessary. Inspect the wedge before use for any damage or excessive wear.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye and hand protection, and follow safe operating distances when using a motor saw. Store the wedge in a dry place and maintain the striking surfaces and grooves to ensure long-term performance.
