Splitting Axe Greenmill UP9429, plastic-coated handle, 1.35 kg head weight

The Splitting Axe Greenmill UP9429 is a compact manual tool designed for splitting firewood and handling light forestry tasks. It has a 1.35 kg forged steel head shaped for controlled splitting of medium-size logs and a handle with a plastic coating that improves grip and resists wear. The tool is intended for household and outdoor use where a balanced, easy-to-handle axe is required.

Advantages

The plastic-coated handle offers improved user grip and reduces slippage during use while providing protection against moisture and abrasion. The 1.35 kg steel head delivers sufficient mass for efficient energy transfer during each swing while remaining light enough for extended manual use. The axe’s compact dimensions make it easier to transport and store compared with larger splitting axes.

Key specifications

• Head material: forged steel
• Head weight: 1.35 kg
• Handle: wood core with plastic coating
• Tool type: splitting axe for manual use
• Intended log size: medium-size logs and rounds

How to use

Hold the axe with both hands on the handle, placing the dominant hand near the head for control and the other hand closer to the end for power. Position the log on a stable chopping block and bring the axe down in a controlled, straight swing, aiming for the grain or a natural crack in the wood. For larger pieces, start by creating a series of shallower cuts around the log until it splits. Inspect the axe head and handle before each use to ensure they are secure and undamaged.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, gloves, and sturdy footwear. Keep a clear working area and ensure bystanders are at a safe distance. Store the axe in a dry place to preserve the handle coating and prevent corrosion of the steel head. Regularly sharpen the cutting edge and check the fastening between head and handle to maintain safe and efficient operation.
