972 Splitting Axe

For firewood and wood-cutting tasks, the 972 is a splitting axe for preparing firewood and carrying out other wood-cutting tasks. Its 80 cm wooden handle and 2.5 kg product weight are useful details to compare when choosing a tool. It is described for wood 15–30 cm in diameter, so you can consider whether that range suits the material you typically split.

Details to consider

1. Steel blade with Xylan coating: A Xylan coating is specified on the steel blade, a useful finish detail to note when comparing axe models.
2. 80 cm wooden handle: The 80 cm wooden handle is described for two-handed use, which is relevant when comparing the axe’s length and handling style.
3. 2.5 kg product weight: The stated 2.5 kg product weight lets you compare its mass with other splitting axes before choosing.
4. For firewood and branch work: Alongside splitting firewood, the axe is described for cutting medium-sized trunks and pruning branches. This gives you a sense of its stated uses beyond firewood preparation.
5. Product and package measurements: The listed product size is 30 x 25 x 15 cm. It comes in one package measuring 82 × 18 × 5 cm, with a package weight of 2.8 kg. These package figures are separate from the axe’s size and weight.
