HT-0275 Splitting Maul

I use this to finish off little stumps in my back yard. A little crude but it does the job. Mine came pretty sharp so no additional sharpening yet. The protector over the metal blade is good to keep it secure. I’ve also used this to dig up roots where they shouldn’t be. This is a handy tool to have around the house. The quality is strong and I’d rather have this than a wooden axe because the wood ones tend to break on me. Remember to wear gloves to avoid blisters if you’re going to use it for a tough job.

perfect camp axe. heavy, not for backpacking. cuts wood, makes nice shavings for fire starting and works for tent stakes.

Solid maul, splits well and the handle holds up better than oak. Ergonomic grip, nice head shape that splits harder and faster. More splits per hit ratio on this guy for sure. Would recommend! Granted the picture shows it was used to split a ~10” birch trunk, so yeah it does that well too. This is for the 36” handle 4.5lb maul. I did sharpen it up a bit before use, as I would with any axe/hatchet after purchase

Nice hatchet, great weight but wasn’t very sharp when received. Had to sharpen it prior to first time using it. Other than that, very pleased with the price point and durability so far!

OK ...I haven't used it yet, but the axe seems solid and well made. But I had to leave a review right away because check out how this was packaged: they threw the axe loose in the box WITHOUT THE BLADE COVER ON. Said cover was in a plastic baggie rubber banded onto the axe, instead of, yanno, safely covering the blade. Ergo, the blade was COMING THROUGH THE BOX when I got it. Thankfully it wasn't covered in blood, so I assume no one got hurt, but that was lucky. Someone could have been. So ...beware, if you order one, when you pick up the box. I hope the warehouse amends this so that delivery folks don't need stitches with future orders...

This is an excellent camp axe. Large sharp axe head with perfect handle length for splitting small logs for camp fire. Shorter handled axes risk hand injury due to proximity of hands to the log. This is not a good choice for splitting large quantities of wood. Some reviews spoke of broken handle or axe head breaking off and the photos showed damage to handle directly under the axe head which suggests “misses” when swinging at logs. Improper use should not be blamed on the tool

Good grip on handle, even in cold of alaska. No troubles in -40 temps of head n handle breaking like other splitters I've bought over the years.

Really great axe

Llegó rápido, buen estado, ligero fácil de manejar y con el filo suficiente quisiera más pero no sé puede todo
