The GARDENA Universal Axe 1400 A is a versatile cutting tool and ideal for splitting firewood. This includes hardwoods such as oak and beech, or the softwood of a resinous pine. It is equally suitable for limbing, cutting off roots and cutting through stronger branches. Due to the adapted head and blade design the axe is ideally suited for these different tasks. For clean blows, the well-balanced centre of gravity, which is close to the axe head, is an important feature, as it ensures proper weight distribution and consequently increased striking and splitting power. The break-proof head handle attachment, which withstands any load, is another impressive feature. Thanks to the hammer function, large logs are no problem, as you can drive in wedges simply and effectively. The join between the handle and head is protected by a riveted stainless steel impact protection. It protects the handle if you miss the log when splitting. The premium tool steel blade with a special coating will not let you down, as it significantly reduces frictional resistance and makes it easier to penetrate the wood. Wood resins also do not adhere so easily. When designing the axe, a lot of care was taken to ensure safe as well as easy handling. The plastic handle is glass-fibre reinforced and equipped with soft grip components that prevent the hands from slipping. In addition, the cow's foot (hook-shaped handle end) contributes to safety when sliding the hads up and down the handle. The powerful Universal Axe 1400 A is a quality product made in Europe and comes with a 25-year warranty from GARDENA. Express your vision with precision.
