FAQs

A felling axe has a thin, sharp bit that cuts across the grain, for felling, limbing and cutting timber to length. A splitting axe has a wider, wedge-shaped head that forces the wood apart along the grain. This page lists felling axes from 680g to 2kg, including Yankee pattern heads at 1.1kg and 2kg, and a 710mm fibreglass splitting axe.

Match the head weight to the job and how you swing it. Hand axes here weigh around 600g to 680g, or 1.5lb, and are used one-handed for kindling and trimming. Larger axes at 1.1kg, 1.8kg (4lb), 2kg and 3.5lb need two hands and a full swing. A lighter head is easier to control and less tiring over a long session.

A fibreglass shaft does not rot, shrink or dry out like timber, so it suits tools that are kept outdoors or in a damp shed. Fibreglass shaft options on this page include felling axes at 680g and 2kg, a 2.7kg log splitting maul, a 355mm hatchet, a 710mm splitting axe and hand and felling axes at 1.5lb and 3.5lb.

A splitting wedge is driven into a log with the flat face of a maul or a sledge hammer to open large or knotty rounds that an axe will not split in one blow. The 1.7kg Log Splitting Star Wedge on this page has a star-shaped section, which pushes the wood apart in several directions as it goes in.

The Estwing axes listed here are compact patterns between 13 and 26 inches long. They include Camper's Axes at 16, 18 and 26 inches, Hunter's Axes at 14 inches, Carpenter's Hatchets at 13 inches (330mm), a 17 inch Rigger's Axe, and Black Eagle Tomahawk and Double Bit Axes at 16 and 17 inches.

Choose a maul for large or knotty rounds that a splitting axe will not open. Its heavier head carries more force into the log, and the flat back can be used to drive a splitting wedge. Mauls and log splitters here weigh 2kg (4.5lb) or 2.7kg (6lb), including a 2.7kg log splitting maul with a fibreglass shaft.

An axe and a maul are shaped for opposite jobs. An axe has a thin blade that cuts across the grain to fell or limb. A maul has a thick wedge that splits along the grain and would bind if it were used to cut. Using either for the other job is slow and hard on the tool.

Head weight then sets how much work each swing does and how many swings can be made. The range runs 680g on a light felling axe up to 2.7kg on the splitting mauls, and a heavier head splits more per blow at the cost of tiring the user faster. Draper hold Expert axes and mauls across that span on fibreglass shafts with plain shafted mauls alongside.

Shaft material changes what the tool feels like at the point of impact. Fibreglass absorbs shock and does not rot or dry out, which suits a tool left outdoors. A one-piece forged steel Estwing has no joint to fail at all, which is why they are chosen where reliability matters more than shock. A shaft that has dried out in a shed is the usual reason a wooden handled axe head works loose.

Hatchets and riggers axes cover the light end at 17 inches and 2.6lb, for limbing and camp work rather than felling. Log splitters as machines are a different product entirely and sit on the wood working leaf. Send the timber type to 07754288583 on WhatsApp for a recommendation.
