Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fiskars 7858 Pro Chopping Axe
Customer Review: It's no Estwing
Summary: 2 Stars
The bottom Line is, the handle is fabulous, The head Suxs...It's far to thick for any serious chopping and it just doesn't hold an edge well. I bought this thinking it could compete with my brother's ole Estwing, well, It couldn't; I should have known better. There is potential but with it's current design it is just not worth the cost..Customer Review: Just awesome...
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally purchased this after reading a review of axes in Men's Journal. It delivers all it promises. Cutting is efficient and it works great fro splitting too. The tool hold an an edge very well even after felling and splitting oak. Dont waste your time with other tools, this is the one.Customer Review: Lightweight and easy to swing!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great axe for the price. It is lightweight and sharp. I love the handle, it feels very durable, long lasting.Customer Review: Not like any other I've used
Summary: 4 Stars
I can't speak to longevity at this point, but this is by far the most pleasant axe I have ever used. You cannot believe that an axe that feels as light as this would cut as well as it does. You would also think that a hollow "plastic" handled axe would have a lot of reverberation in the handle and it does not. It feels light in the swing and solid in the hit. To me that makes it feel safer as well.
I've loved my Stihl chainsaw but felling a tree by muscle is certainly gratifying. I'll be using the axe more frequently. If it lasts, I'll bump my rating up to a 5.
Customer Review: One awesome ax
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been pleased with every Fiskars item that I have previously purchased. This ax is no exception. I ordered it last Tuesday and it showed up three days later (in a huge box). I used it today to take out a tree stump. It easily cut through some pretty thick, buried roots. It's very light and easy to swing, with the weight concentrated at the head. It's also made in Finland, not the Far East. I don't know what that one reviewer did to break the handle on his, but I can't imagine that I'll ever abuse it again like I did today. It passed with flying colors. Only regret is that I didn't purchase the Fiskars sharpener with it.
