Axe Topex 05A138 universal with wooden handle 0.8 kg, 380 mm

Topex 05A138 universal axe with wooden handle, 0.8 kg head and 380 mm overall length is a compact tool for general-purpose chopping, trimming and light felling. The design pairs a balanced steel head with a traditional wooden haft that provides natural shock absorption and a comfortable grip. Its size and weight make it suitable for garden maintenance, camp use and small outdoor woodwork where control and manoeuvrability are important.

Advantages

The axe combines a hardened steel head with a classic wooden handle for a familiar feel and straightforward maintenance. The 0.8 kg head offers enough mass to cut through small to medium branches while keeping the tool easy to swing and control. The wooden haft dampens vibrations, reduces hand fatigue during repeated use and is replaceable if damaged. The overall 380 mm length helps with precision tasks and working in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Chopping small to medium branches and firewood
• Garden pruning and trimming tasks
• Light felling and limbing of young trees
• Camping and outdoor wood preparation
• DIY and small carpentry jobs requiring a handheld axe

Key specifications

• Head weight: 0.8 kg
• Total length: 380 mm
• Handle material: wood (traditional haft)
• Head material: steel (hardened cutting edge)
• Tool type: universal / general-purpose axe

How to use

Hold the wooden handle with both hands, placing the dominant hand near the head for control and the other hand near the end of the haft for power. Position your feet shoulder-width apart and aim at the target with a controlled swing; use the weight of the 0.8 kg head to deliver cutting force rather than excessive arm strength. For trimming and precision cuts use shorter, controlled strikes; for splitting thin logs or larger branches, use steady, repeated swings. Inspect the handle and head before use to ensure the head is securely seated and the cutting edge is free of major nicks.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection and gloves, keep bystanders at a safe distance, and store the axe in a dry place to protect the wooden handle and steel head from moisture and corrosion.
