If you need to chop wood or if you need to replace your old failing axe, then you are on the right page. We indeed have a large selection of axes and hatchets, from well-known brands (FISKARS, REVEX, LEBORGNE,...) but at the best prices on the market. This wide offer has prompted us to write this little introductory guide, so that you are directed towards the product that best matches your needs and requirements.
While the first axes, estimated to be about 1.6 million years old, were simply made of a sharpened stone fitted between two pieces of wood, today's axes are much more sophisticated and have characteristics that can vary greatly from one product to another. In addition to the size of the head and handle (we'll talk about hatchets for the smaller models), the material used for the handle can vary (the head is usually steel). Indeed, it can be either wood (for a more traditional look to one's tool and very good durability), or fiberglass (good grip and durability), or in "tri-material," a very resistant alloy. This makes the handle unbreakable, resistant to vibrations, and easier to grip. It's the top of the range for axe handles. Moreover, regardless of its material, the handle may be ergonomic, for optimal comfort during work.
The weight of the tool is also a very important attribute. It can vary significantly from one model to another. Since an axe is a tool that is used at arm’s length and can be quite tiring to use, it's better not to forget this parameter. Moreover, lightness will be synonymous with maneuverability.
Finally, accessories may make a difference in favor of one model or another. For example, some axes are equipped with a rubber sheath around the handle, which increases resistance to vibrations and ensures a better grip.
Others will be delivered with blade protections. This increases the lifespan of the tool as well as the user's safety.
We hope that this little article has helped guide and enlighten you on the type of axe that would suit you best, and we wish you a pleasant purchase.
