GARDENA 08718-48 Splitting hatchet 600 mm 1600 g Head weight 1200 g

With the split axis 1600 S from GARDENA, you get the best out of every shot.

Through its wedge-shaped head and blade geometry the axe is optimized for the simple columns of medium-sized firewood. To ensure that the impact energy is effectively concentrated in the axe head, the well-balanced center of gravity lies close to the axe head. Regardless of how much force is put into the shock, the break-proof head and stem connection can withstand the load. The easy and effective insertion of wedges into larger wooden shanks or in heavily grown firewood is easily possible with the help of the hammer surface at the head end.

All common types of wedge can be used such as wood, plastic and aluminum wedges (no steel wedges). Underneath the head is the riveted impact protection made of stainless steel, which is used for the protection of the shaft if a blow should occur. The robust blade is made of high-quality tool steel. It has a special coating which significantly reduces friction and thus facilitates penetration into the wood. Also, resins do not adhere so easily due to the coating. Other features of the split axel are the successful haptics as well as the safe handling.

The plastic handle is glass-fiber reinforced and with light and robust material allows high impact strength. The soft components and the hook-shaped end of the handle contribute to safety. They ensure a secure fit without slipping.
