Finland, I really appreciate you sending the Leveraxe 2 for us to try out. My review is based on my opinions after 2 days of usage. If I am swinging it wrong , I would certainly like to try it again. It must take some practice learning how to swing with a loose grip. I was afraid if I didn't hold the handle too tight, it would go flying out of my hands. What product do you think works best, the Leveraxe 2 or the Original Leveraxe?
Thanks,
Thank you for positive attitude. I admit that the Leveraxe causes many kind of reactions because of several reasons, as too technical, too expensive, cannot find the idea and so on. I'm happy, that you want to know more and learn to use it properly.
Leveraxe 1 has been on the market around 10 years. There has happened NO ACCIDENT with it. I'm getting excellent feed back from all around the world from people who have it. Hard wood, soft wood, any kind of wood. No problems, everything goes. This kind of information keeps me going as well. I am not doing this in vain. There has been over 10 million visitors looking at my videos in youtube

It is difficult to say which is better Leveraxe 1 or 2. Both are good. It depends so much, how experienced you are in "reading" the structure of the wood. There are not exactly two similar blocks. That is why every block will create you new situation which you must solve based to the experience and skills what you have got in previous splitting. Leveraxe 2 is 800 grams lighter than Leveraxe 1.
Because Leveraxe 2 is so light you can get much higher speed to it. When you double the speed, the force will multiply four times bigger. In practice these have around the same power. Then it depends of your technical skills how you manage with it. Both of the blades have the same advantage, they will not get stuck to the block provided that you can use it correctly.
Now I'm trying to squeeze the answer to your question.
Leveraxe 1 is better choice to a person, who is not yet very talented with firewood splitting.
Leveraxe 2 is the choice for a person who has already longer experience in dealing with firewood. This requires better knowledge for instance, how to take speed to the blade, what is the best part where to hit.
The difference is very limited. Most of the people learn to use both models in no time.
Leveraxe 2 might be better for younger children and weaker persons.
As you can see, both of them are so nice and enjoyable to use that it is really difficult to draw the line between them.
Maybe if you could make some more precise questions, I could try to find satisfactory answers for you.
The other readers, be free to make your questions. I'm doing my best to answer.
All the best from Finland
Regards
Heikki, the inventor
