INTERTOOL 36-inch Splitting Maul, Heavy Duty Wood Splitter Axe, 6 lb / 2500 g, Shock Absorbing Fiberglass Anti-Slip Handle with Blade Cover HT-0273

My grandson loves this axe. It's strong enough to cut down trees. It has a good handle too!

I bought this ax for my grandsons birthday. He took a liking to chopping wood while camping this summer. He asked if I would get him an ax for his birthday. He just turned 11. This is a nice ax. Very light weight. Easy to grip handle. Very sharp, so lots of teaching being done on safety. But he used it and can split logs nicely. Over all, very satisfied. He has missed a few times and hit the handle with no damage to the ax. That is why I went with this handle over wood.

The price was good, the handle is comfortable, and the weight is great. It needed to be sharpened before its first use. It had an edge, but wasn’t sharp at all. Also I don’t have a lot of confidence the blade guard is going to last it’s just cheap plastic.

Great product. Very sharp and cuts clean.

This is a great basic ax and a good value for the money. The ax head cover that is supplied is very weak, but can be supplemented with an aftermarket product. It appears to be extremely durable.

Fairly cheap for this axe and it so far has performed well. Using it to chop up and remove roots from my yard.

I was uncertain about this item at first. Online specs vs how it feels in the hand, and all that. This does feel right-sized for a hatchet, and is reasonably well balanced. I have confidence this will last me for many years.I've chopped wood for a lifetime already, so I know what I want. This hatchet will do the job, if you don't mind sharpening it yourself. Out of the box it is somewhat sharp and would work okay but with a bench grinder or even a file you could easily improve its cutting ability. For the price point this is fine for me. I use it to make kindling from larger split wood, or to trim branches from trees I've taken down.It is balanced and comfortable to hold, not too heavy.

I am very glad that I purchased this ax. It arrived in very good condition. I look forward to many good years of chopping many different items with this ax. I would recommend it to others.
