Leveraxe - The Smart Axe, 36-inch Splitting Axe

Nice and light does the work. Was very pleased with the ax for log splitting.

Cool concept, but when you swing and hit the log, the twisting motion hurts my hands. And for the same price point I could get a regular maul and have much more success.

Looks good, bought it for fathers day.

It’s a great splitting axe, but i found it $200 cheaper locally. Unlike the Fiskars 8 lb. one which does the job, but tires you out fast, this one gets it done with a 4 lb head. Since I’m not allowed to name the store I found it at, I’ll say, I got it at a big nationwide hardware store (the blue one, not the orange) for $50.

I have an older Snow and Neally hatchet and hatchet sized splitting mall. I have finally hammer the life out of the handle of the mall and purchased the Fiskars 17 inch Splitting Axe to replace it. The Fiskars works GREAT! The profile of the blade makes this work really well. The first 1/4" of the blade is sharpened pretty much like an axe. Then the grind of the rest of the blade resembles a mall. Works great. I use it for splitting logs that have been split once already (about 6"-8" included circle). This works perfect for splitting them into smaller starter logs for building a bed of coals fast in the stove or for burning when not a lot of heat output is required. I'm very accurate with a one handed tool like this, and with the catch at the end of the handle to keep it from sliding out of your hand, it feels more like your wielding a weapon than using a tool. Definitely worth the price.
