Tork Craft Axe / Hatchet — 800 g, Fibreglass Handle (Model TC610800)
Equipped with a hardened drop-forged 800 g head and a 350 mm fibreglass handle, this Tork Craft axe/hatchet offers a powerful yet controlled swing for chopping wood, removing tree limbs, light splitting or general site clearing. The fibreglass handle gives improved durability and vibration dampening over traditional wood handles.
Features
- 800 g head weight — strong enough for moderate chopping/splitting tasks.
- 350 mm overall length — balanced for both reach and control in prepping fire-wood or site work.
- Fibreglass handle — enhanced durability, moisture resistance and less vibration on impact.
- Drop-forged head construction — ensures strength and integrity under repeated strikes.
Benefits
- Better control: The moderate length and weight give effective cuts without excessive swing fatigue.
- Long-life handle: Fibreglass resists cracking, splitting or absorbing moisture like wood might.
- Multipurpose use: Suitable for chopping limbs, splitting small logs, clearing bushes or general site use.
- Compact storage: At 350 mm it’s more manageable in toolboxes and transport than full-sized felling axes.
Extra Information
- This axe/hatchet is ideal when you need something tougher than a standard hand tool but more manoeuvrable than large felling axes.
- Store the tool with the head protected (blade cover or in tool-bag) to maintain edge integrity and handle condition.
- After chopping moderately abrasive materials (e.g., roots, dirt-embedded logs), wipe off residue to preserve the finish and avoid corrosion.
- Keep the striking face flat and avoid side glancing blows on hard metal—this helps maintain cutting edge alignment and reduces handle stress.
Pro Tip
- For accurate splitting, start the swing slightly off-centre on the log so the blade “sets in”, then follow through with full swing — the fibreglass handle helps limit rebound for better strike feel.
Safety
- Wear eye, hand and foot protection when chopping logs or clearing brush.
- Ensure the workpiece is stable and secure before using the axe.
- Keep hands and legs clear of the swing path and ensure bystanders are a safe distance away.
- Inspect the handle-head connection and blade edge before each use—replace the tool if any cracking or looseness appears.
