Key specifications

• Head weight: 1.2 kg
• Handle length: 60 cm
• Operation: manual
• Intended use: splitting firewood and timber
• Tool type: splitting axe

How to use

Position the log on a stable chopping block. Hold the axe with both hands, placing one hand near the base of the 60 cm handle and the other closer to the head for control. Raise the axe to a comfortable height and deliver controlled, focused swings aimed at the log’s center or along natural splits. For stubborn pieces, strike the same line repeatedly until the wood splits. After each strike, reposition your hands as needed to maintain balance and control. Observe standard safety practices: ensure bystanders are clear, wear protective gloves and eye protection, and maintain a secure stance.

Usage recommendations

The splitting axe is intended for manual splitting of small to medium logs and kindling. For larger or very knotty timber consider using a heavier splitting tool or mechanical splitter. Regularly inspect the head-to-handle fit and sharpen the blade as needed to maintain efficient, safe operation.
