CHOICE OF TOOL The right choice of tool for wood splitting and felling without a handle protective sleeve. For driving in wedges (only plastic or aluminium ones for safety reasons - no steel wedges), the most suitable tool is the 3 kg BIG OX® splitting hammer. This is very much done to its large striking surface head and the protective sleeve protecting the wooden handle below the head from damage when striking is not always true. As wood permeated by branch roots is extremely difficult to split, the best thing here is to use a heavy splitting axe or a splitting hammer. The following overview and information help you in coming to a decision on the right tool. The choice also of course depends on the user’s physical size and condition. Thus, for instance, a well-built, strong user will be far more at home with a heavy axe and long handle than someone who is smaller. A universal axe can be used for felling, de-branching and wood splitting. If an axe is solely for splitting work, then preference should be given to the splitting axe over the universal axe on account of its wedge-shaped head geometry. A handle protective sleeve not only protects the handle. Head heaviness of the tool is also heightened by the extra 300 g weight. That is why the lighter SPALT-FIX® axe with a 1250 g head weight has a greater penetrating power than a comparable axe head Felling and branch-cutting work Easier splitting work up to Ø 25 cm Length max. 30 mm Medium-strenuous splitting work Ø 25 – 40 cm Length max. 30 mm Strenuous splitting work as of Ø 40 cm Length max. 30 mm Metre-length sections with wedge (aluminium or plastic) ILTIS®-axes Universal-axes up to 1250 g SPALT-FIX® 1250g, 50 cm handle SPALT-FIX® 1250g, 70 cm handle SPALT-FIX® 2500g Mallet-type axe 2750g Splitting hammer 3 kg Splitting hammer 3,5 kg Recoilless wedge hammer (also for steel wedges ) optimally suited 7 well suited suited not suited must not be used
