A Hatchet is an essential tool to have for any landscaping, camping, firewood, hunting, hiking, and outdoor forest activities. The INTERTOOL HT-0292 is sharp with a fully polished finish for driving small wedges, hewing and splitting timber, and producing kindling. The durable, heavy-duty 2 pound head is made of high-quality, wear-resistant carbon steel with included anticorrosive coating. This helps to deliver superior, long lasting performance. The edge is easy to resharpen and remains acute for long durations of consistent usage. Cut through objects more efficiently with this sharp tool. The hollow fiberglass haft is lightweight and designed for comfortability with each swing thanks to its curved design. The handle includes rubber inserts to eliminate hands from slipping, under all conditions. The natural, ergonomic grip absorbs each impact and evenly distributes vibration to reduce shock. The 18 inch haft grants extra precision and power with each strike. The axe is well-balanced and features a secure head-to-haft joint that stays secure even with heavy use. Practical size dimensions makes the axe easy to use and to carry along, which is safe and convenient thanks to a protective silicone cap that fits on the bit when not in use. Red and black contrast coloring helps locate the axe quickly even in tall grass or underbrush. The end of the grip features a hole for hanging the axe.
