Rolson 12182 1.1/2 Lb Hand Axe Fibreglass Shaft

Great little log splitter, it punches above its weight - especially for the price. Others have complained that it doesn't arrive 'sharp' - it's as sharp as it needs to be because it's for splitting logs, not shaving.It's perfectly balanced and comes in a solid weight, which helps on the downstroke; you don't want a tool like this to be too light. The grip on the handle is just right also, you're not likely to see it fly from your hand or for friction to hurt your hand.Honestly, it's worth the asking price even if it was double. Great value for money, very well constructed and a great weight balance.

Excellent tool. Solid not too heavy very pleased for the price paid £10

Item arrived promptly. Now used a few times chopping wood into kindling. Edge is sharp and performed well. Finish is as per the price.

My other half wanted this to chop firewood and wasn’t expecting much for under £9. He first tried it on laminate flooring in the lounge and it was so sharp he had to check he hadn’t damaged the flooring! He said it’s easily worth double and it light enough to use and gets the job done. Highly recommended.

Bought to place near the front door should I need it incase I forget how to unlock doors 🫡 always be prepared 🙃

This is a compact hand axe with a fibreglass handle and a small steel head, the kind of tool you would use for splitting small logs, kindling or general garden jobs. I picked it up mainly for chopping kindling for the fire pit and the occasional bit of light work in the garden.The size is just right for that sort of task. It is small enough to handle comfortably with one hand but still has enough weight in the head to make splitting kindling easy. I have been using it on small logs and thicker branches and it bites into the wood well without needing huge swings.The fibreglass handle is a nice touch because it feels sturdy and absorbs a bit of the shock when the axe hits the wood. The grip also has a rubberised section which makes it easier to hold onto, even when wearing gloves. It feels balanced and controlled rather than top heavy.The blade arrived reasonably sharp out of the packaging. I gave it a quick touch up with a sharpening stone before the first proper use, which is pretty normal for tools like this, and since then it has held its edge well through a fair amount of kindling chopping.For a simple hand axe it feels surprisingly solid and dependable. It is not a heavy duty forestry tool, but for splitting kindling, trimming branches and general outdoor tasks it does the job really well and feels like good value for a basic but reliable tool.

Not sharp at all

Very good for chopping kindling. Good axe

A éviter si possible malgré le prix. la lame n'est pas livré pour couper quoique ce soit aucune ébauche d'affutage et très mauvaises proportion difficile à rattraper à la meule.

Na ja. Die Axt war definitiv gebraucht. Sie ist stumpf und hatte macken. Nachdem ich sie geschärft habe, war sie ganz okay! Aber das war wirklich nicht so wie erwartet.

Negativo: El olor insoportable, que tiene el mango a petroleo, por eso no le pongo 5 estrellas, por lo demas esta bien aunque no viene afilada

çok uzun zamandır bekliyordum indirime girsin diye harika ürün özellikle küçük çalı çırpı odunlar için

Buona ascia, ma il disegno della testa, non permette di utilizzarla facilmente, in quanto il colpo tende a far incastrare angolarmente l'ascia sul legno, disperdendo buona parte della potenza, non proprio maneggevole anche il manico
