## Description

desertcart.com : Leveraxe Splitting Axe, Vipukirves 36-inch : Patio, Lawn & Garden

Review: Not great - Bought this nine years ago. Used it maybe 5 times for two or three logs at a time, it's okay. Finally used it today for a big splitting job. The handle broke when I missed a log.
Review: Great choice for making firewood - This is a great product. I've been chopping wood since I was a kid in Boy Scouts. I've helped friends clear lots with an axe and chainsaw. But splitting logs for firewood has always been a pain. Propping up the log, splitting it and then repositioning it. And if you've got a full log, it's almost impossible. Just after I ordered this axe, my furnace died and it was getting pretty cold. I had a tree cut down but it was in logs. Chopping it up with a normal axe wouldn't have worked (2' diameter sections). But with this axe, I just setup the section and split out wood in minutes. I could reduce a whole piece into 20-30 splits in less than 20 minutes. It took longer to haul them back to the house than it took to split them! If you're looking for a tool to make firewood fast, this is a fantastic choice. Get an old tire and a stump and you're ready to make a ton of firewood. You'll still need an axe or chainsaw to cut down trees or make logs, but this will turn it into firewood fast.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How well does it work on hardwood? I want to use it on Black Walnut**
A: I use the lighter-duty leveraxe 2 on 18" hardwood. It's fantastic for white ash and soft maple. For hard (sugar) maple forget it unless it's a smallish diameter like 12".

**Q: so it can be switched to a right handed swing?**
A: The LeverAxe can be used with a right hand or left handed swing. Performance is seamless!

**Q: How would this axe work on knotty Douglas fir?**
A: I bet it would work well.  Doug fir is sort of between hardwood and softwood and I've split some pretty nasty hardwoods with it now.  Knots can be trouble with any axe, but I've had good luck with the Leveraxe.  I use it as well as a standard maul and wedges.

**Q: why is this almost a full $100.00 over the base price?!**
A: This is the established Amazon selling price by the manufacturer.  What is the base price you are referencing?  Thank you for your business.

### ⭐ Bought this to use while camping in the high Sierras ...
*by R***E on September 10, 2016*

Bought this to use while camping in the high Sierras, so no old tires around. Everyone was required to read the manual before trying to use it. My weight lifting teens could do little with it. [we were a family group of 25] The men even took turns and not much. Back to our normal axes. THEN, I had purchased it early to be sure it arrived before we left. The handle of this axe split long-wise around the fourth day. We returned home the day after it could be returned. So now I am stuck with very expensive trash.
