## Description

desertcart.com : INTERTOOL 15” Camping Hatchet Axe – Compact Wood Splitting Tool with Fiberglass Shock-Resistant Handle, Small Axe for Chopping Firewood, Kindling, and Survival Gear – HT-0262 : Patio, Lawn & Garden

Review: Great product. Excellent Value. - This hatchet is perfect for general use around the home or camp. I use the tool mainly for making kindling from split rounds, and trimming small to medium sized limbs. The 1.8 lb head is the ideal weight IMO for these purposes - not too heavy so comfortable to use, and not too light so it cleaves effectively without repeated hits. I have used many "general use" camp/DIY hatchets ((Fiskars, Estwing, etc.), and virtually all have head weights between 1-1.2 lbs, which is not heavy enough for efficient, easy kindling splitting or limb trimming, unless working with small diameter pieces. Note that Intertool also makes a 1.3 head weight hatchet, but I've found the 1.8 lb version is the perfect head weight for the uses I describe above. This hatchet is well made, durable, arrived well packaged and sharp, and has held its edge over repeated uses with no signs of damage or poor construction whatsoever. This hatchet is an excellent value, and I am extremely pleased with it.
Review: Very tough little axe - I use this to finish off little stumps in my back yard. A little crude but it does the job. Mine came pretty sharp so no additional sharpening yet. The protector over the metal blade is good to keep it secure. I’ve also used this to dig up roots where they shouldn’t be. This is a handy tool to have around the house. The quality is strong and I’d rather have this than a wooden axe because the wood ones tend to break on me. Remember to wear gloves to avoid blisters if you’re going to use it for a tough job.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this axe good for chopping ?**
A: Thank you for the question. This hatchet can be used for chopping small rounds and kindling. It won’t be the best for chopping big rounds.

**Q: Does it have a cover**
A: Thank you for the question. This hatchet comes with a silicone blade cover. We are moving towards having an included sheath in the near future. If you would like a better cover, we would recommend a 4 1/2 - 5 Inch blade cover/sheath.

**Q: my axe didn't come with a sheath or blade cover. Shouldn’t it be with one?**
A: Mine did not come with a sheath or cover. It only had a piece of hard rubber over the blade edge.

**Q: Can this be used as a throwing axe?**
A: No

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just buy this one
*by A***R on September 5, 2025*

Solid maul, splits well and the handle holds up better than oak. Ergonomic grip, nice head shape that splits harder and faster. More splits per hit ratio on this guy for sure. Would recommend! Granted the picture shows it was used to split a ~10” birch trunk, so yeah it does that well too. This is for the 36” handle 4.5lb maul. I did sharpen it up a bit before use, as I would with any axe/hatchet after purchase
