INTERTOOL Ax 1.8 lb/800 g w/Fiberglass Haft HT-0262

Llegó rápido, buen estado, ligero fácil de manejar y con el filo suficiente quisiera más pero no sé puede todo

This hatchet is perfect for general use around the home or camp. I use the tool mainly for making kindling from split rounds, and trimming small to medium sized limbs. The 1.8 lb head is the ideal weight IMO for these purposes - not too heavy so comfortable to use, and not too light so it cleaves effectively without repeated hits. I have used many "general use" camp/DIY hatchets ((Fiskars, Estwing, etc.), and virtually all have head weights between 1-1.2 lbs, which is not heavy enough for efficient, easy kindling splitting or limb trimming, unless working with small diameter pieces. Note that Intertool also makes a 1.3 head weight hatchet, but I've found the 1.8 lb version is the perfect head weight for the uses I describe above. This hatchet is well made, durable, arrived well packaged and sharp, and has held its edge over repeated uses with no signs of damage or poor construction whatsoever. This hatchet is an excellent value, and I am extremely pleased with it.

Incredibly sturdy. I fell trees as a hobby, but I purchased this hatchet at the solid price point to play around as a throwing axe. I've yet to throw the damn thing. I've used it to limb felled trees, and surprisingly it's my best hand hewer. I've used it to to shape logs for outdoor stairs to add some character into the yard instead of just grading. I'm pretty hard on axes, I've chipped some fiberglass handles before even though they've been functional it irks me a little. The blade itself is holding up exceptionally well. I sharpened it with hand rotary on arrival and keep up with the hone with whetstones. It keeps an edge well and I've so no wear except for the expected coating loss. It also comes with one of the most simple and effective blade guards I've ever seen. A sort of plastic spring mechanism. If they sold the guards separately I'd buy them for all my other axes. Edit: both the hatchet and 24 inch are still going strong after 6 months of heavy use.

Incredible quality and sharpness and design at a value price. Unique blade cover included. Perfect size for easy of carry, storage and handling. Highly recommended.

Nice hatchet, great weight but wasn’t very sharp when received. Had to sharpen it prior to first time using it. Other than that, very pleased with the price point and durability so far!
