How to choose the right general-purpose axe:
Choosing the right general-purpose axe mainly depends on the planned use and the user’s physical condition. Consider the following:
- Weight: A lighter axe (e.g. 600 g) is easier to handle in lighter work such as limbing. A heavier axe (e.g. 1500 g) gives more striking force for larger branches or felling smaller trees.
- Handle length: A shorter handle is better for precise work in tight spaces, while a longer handle allows a more powerful blow.
- Blade shape: The blade of a general-purpose axe is usually shaped for both cutting and splitting. The shape of the blade affects its efficiency in different tasks.
- Handle material: Fibreglass is durable, light and absorbs impacts well. Wood is a traditional material that also absorbs vibration, but it can be more prone to damage.
- Intended use: Think about what work you will mostly need the axe for. A lighter model is enough mainly for limbing, while a heavier model may be more useful for small-scale firewood making or felling small trees.
- Ergonomics: Make sure the grip of the axe is comfortable and safe.
