axe

Want an axe, and love the feel of the Stihl ones. Is the pro splitting axe good?

Howdy Folks! Here are some pics (and a vid) of my junior dropping a 120' Eucalyptus (Bluegum). He made some very good cuts, and was rewarded with a perfectly clean fall, with the hinge holding on all the way down to the ground! Made me very proud! I especially enjoyed his "mic drop/badass walk...

Got the Fiskars Super Splitting Axe from Santa! Took it out today and busted up some red oak rounds with it. I'm impressed. I like it. The handle has some biteback in it, but this thing works!

Hi, Just got this little beauty Any experience?

OK, anyone else besides me interested in doing this?

If you're looking for a handy all-in-one kit for taking care of your axe or maul, here's a video demonstration of the Helko Maintenance Kit. It has a dual sided axe file, axe sharpening stone, blade cleaning sanding sponge, axe guard oil, handle oil, sandpaper, and a cleaning rag. It comes in...

Please check out my review of the Halder Steel Splitting Wedge. Do you guys prefer using a sledge and wedge or a maul for splitting the tough rounds? Thanks!

I'm testing out the Halder Simplex Splitting Maul for the first time. This maul weighs 9lbs and is 35.8" overall and made in Germany. Has anyone else tried this one? So far, I'm very happy with it after splitting for one day. I have a huge pile of firewood that the utility company cut, so...

Hi, All: Just thought I'd alert everyone here how dishonest Beaver Tooth is. I was searching for a replacement handle for a 2-1/4lb half axe and I found this: https://beaver-tooth.com/collections/single-bit-axe-handles/products/28-boys-half-axe-cedar-axe-handle-american-hickory-single-bit...

I think I found my new go-to axe/maul for splitting the middle size rounds. The Helko Pro Series Splitting Axe with a 3.75 lb head is something I can swing all day long and does a great job. If I'm busting up big rounds, I go to the Helko Vario 2000 Heavy Wood Splitter. Please check out this...

Mornin'! I'm trying to decide on whether to order an X25 or the X27? I'm 5'10", 205 lbs, been swinging an old crummy 34" Ames axe/maul for 15 years, time for an upgrade. I always use a chopping block, so I prefer splitting a round about waist height....just how I've always done it. I initially...

Probably not! I've only really ever used 1 axe the last 15 years...my brother gave it to me when I was 18, not sure who made it or if its junk? Never really put much thought into different axes, but to-day when I was splitting some rounds, my hands started hurting me, not something that usually...
