Splitting Axe JOBIextra WXT066, 1 kg, plastic handle

JOBIextra splitting axe WXT066 is a 1 kg axe designed for splitting kindling, small logs and firewood. The tool combines a metal head with a plastic handle to reduce overall weight and improve handling during repeated use. It is intended for domestic and light outdoor tasks where ease of transport and manoeuvrability are required.

Advantages

The metal head delivers concentrated force for efficient splitting while the lightweight plastic handle reduces arm fatigue and makes the axe easier to carry. The head and handle design supports secure strikes and predictable splitting behaviour. The compact 1 kg weight offers a balance between impact energy and user control, suitable for shorter sessions of wood preparation.

Suitable for

• Splitting kindling and small-diameter logs
• Preparing firewood for stoves, fireplaces and campfires
• Domestic garden and outdoor chores requiring portable splitting tools

Key specifications

• Tool type: splitting axe
• Head material: metal
• Handle material: plastic
• Head weight: 1 kg
• Application: light-duty and domestic wood splitting

How to use

Before use, check the head seating and handle for any damage or looseness. Place the log on a stable chopping block and adopt a balanced stance. Hold the axe with both hands and raise it to a controlled height; strike the wood on its grain or on existing splits to avoid glancing blows. For larger pieces, make a series of controlled strikes rather than attempting a single high-force blow. After use, wipe the head clean and store the axe in a dry place to prevent corrosion and handle degradation.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, eye protection and sturdy footwear. Use the axe for its intended light-duty splitting tasks and avoid striking metal, stones or nails. Periodically inspect and, if needed, sharpen the head following safe sharpening procedures to maintain splitting efficiency.
