Axe MODECO MN-64-096 universal with wooden handle 1.5 kg 700 mm

Universal axe MODECO MN-64-096 with a wooden handle is a manual tool intended for general chopping and cutting tasks. The axe features a forged steel head with a nominal weight of 1.5 kg and a 700 mm overall length including the traditional wooden haft. Its balanced weight and straightforward design make it suitable for preparing firewood, light forestry work and everyday garden tasks where a durable cutting edge and reliable wooden handle are required.

Advantages

The tool combines a hardened steel head and a full-length wooden handle that provides shock absorption and a natural grip. The 1.5 kg head offers sufficient mass for efficient chopping without excessive fatigue during extended use. The 700 mm length balances reach and control for accurate strikes, while the traditional haft mounting allows for straightforward maintenance and replacement of the handle if needed.

• Splitting and chopping firewood for household stoves and fireplaces
• Light forestry tasks such as limbing and cutting small trunks
• Garden and yard work including clearing brush and trimming overgrowth
• Outdoor use on camping or remote sites where a robust manual tool is needed

Key specifications

• Head weight: 1.5 kg
• Total length: 700 mm
• Head material: steel (forged/hardened cutting edge)
• Handle material: wood (traditional haft)
• Tool type: universal/chopping axe for manual use

How to use

Hold the wooden handle with both hands, placing the dominant hand near the head for controlled strikes and the other hand near the end of the haft for leverage. Swing the axe from above using body weight and controlled motion, aiming the blade at the target wood. For splitting, strike the end grain of logs; for cutting or limbing, use controlled lateral strikes. Inspect the head-to-handle fit before use and ensure the head is securely mounted. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when working.

Usage recommendations

Keep the cutting edge sharp and free of nicks to maintain efficiency and reduce the force required per strike. Store the axe in a dry place and periodically treat the wooden handle with linseed oil or a similar wood preservative to prevent drying and splitting. If the handle becomes loose or damaged, replace it promptly and ensure the head is securely re-mounted before further use.
