2. Splitting axe size: The power of the perfect fit
Fiskars splitting axes come in five different sizes to compliment the diversity of the human body. Find the right axe size and weight for a more enjoyable, efficient and safe experience. Above all, choose an axe size and weight that feels safe and secure to handle.
Measure the length
Test the shaft length by gripping the axe handle just below the blade and holding it out straight across your arm. The shaft should match the length of your arm as show in the picture.
Test the weight
The correctly weighted axe will lift effortlessly with one hand. An axe that is too heavy will be challenging to control, so test out a variety of weights to ensure comfort and command.
