TMW-62 Shingle Froe Traditional Woodworking Tool w/Anodized Steel Blade and Lightweight Handle for Wood Splitting, Shaving, and Scraping

I split hundreds of shingles with this already and it is a really durable unit with a proper splitting grind on the business end. Handle is tapered and long enough to swing the mallet into it to split logs. Great purchase if you know it's intended use.

I just recieved two days after placing the order. Big thumbs up! After careful inspection of both the blade and handle, I find the blade very stout with an agressive angle on the edge. The edge has the proper sharpness for splitting. The weld on the handle ring is very well done. The handle was turned from exceptionally straight wood and should last a very long time. They provide a hole in the handle ring to use a screw for additional security of the handle...if this product is used correctly this is unnecessary. However, if you choose to use the the screw provided, you MUST pre drill the hole to the diameter of the screw shaft and it is advisable to place a small dab of soap on the screw threads before inserting screw in hole. This is VERY hard wood and you are apt to snap the screw if you don’t. I believe I will be using this froe for a very long time!

Seems to be made well, I think the higher priced ones would appear much more authentic, it that's important to you. I bought this to spilt kindling and small logs when trying to use an axe is overkill but a hatchet is too small. Some sort of holding device for the wood is very handy, that or a third hand!

Not very sharp when arrived

Its a froe. Solid steel, and decently sharp. We'll see how the handle holds up. So far so good.

I was so excited to use this but after a few pounds with my cudgel the screw snapped off and the blade/handle wont stay put. It’s very disappointing and would very much like a refund.

I finally got my hands on one of these! Just in time to process a ton of dried out Ash tree limbs from a tree that snapped in a recent windstorm. Lots to dry, hardwood to see what it's made out of.

Very good tool

Good kit

Seems ok. Blade is very long. Handle is just simple wood. For the price? It’s good.

Ich habe das Werkzeug gekauft, um Frischholz zu spalten. Es ist wesentlich preisgünstiger als die hochwertigen Schindelmesser aus skandinavischer Herstellung. Deshalb ist es ok., dass das Schindelmesser nur grob vorgeschliffen war. Ich habe es nachgeschliffen und vom Schnittwinkel her angepasst, und nun funktioniert es, wie es soll. Das Mateial scheint ein recht hochwertiger Werkzeugstahl zu sein, denn es bleibt recht lang scharf. Alles in allem eine akzeptable Alternative, wenn man nicht zu viel Geld ausgeben will.

Love this, works just as planned.

Bin sehr zufrieden mit diesem Profukt, das aus USA kommt und in China produziert wurde :)
