Watch this before you buy an Axe in 2024

Спорт

These are my current favorite 3 axes of the recent months. They are all different in many ways...but luckily, I try MANY so I will keep you updated along the way. Keep in mind, this is NOT an ad. Buy what you want, where you want!

    I know I said it before, but my Adler Super Splitter is awesome. It's more expensive than the x27, but cheaper than the gransfors. You can get it at around $150. It's around a 6 pound head and I haven't even gotten it close to stuck in anything yet. It just splits. Love it.

I hope that the manufacturer listens to your advice and ideas, such as more tapered for less stoppage, and a longer handle. I think that what’s coming is very exciting, with your input help. So, thanks again. Respectfully Wishing for You & Yours an Extreme Health and Longevity, Leo

    Don't forget to look for good axes in garage sales. once you know what to look for you might get a great deal on a few . you may have to clean some rust maybe a new handle but could save some money (money to save up for a hydraulic splitter for when you get older.) You should do a vid going against a gas powered splitter . a small pile of logs to see the times.
