About this product
Description
When tackling demanding forestry and garden work in Ireland’s varied weather conditions, the Draper Expert Felling Axe 1.6kg delivers the precision and durability needed for efficient wood splitting and tree felling operations.
This expert-quality felling axe features a forged fine grain carbon steel head that’s correctly hardened and tempered for maximum cutting performance. The polished 1.6kg head provides optimal weight distribution for controlled strikes, while the 850mm fibreglass shaft offers superior strength compared to traditional wooden handles. The shock-absorbing rubber grip ensures comfortable extended use, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged cutting sessions.
Key technical specifications include:
• Fine grain carbon steel head: Forged and tempered for durability
• 850mm fibreglass shaft: Lightweight yet incredibly strong
• 1.6kg head weight: Perfectly balanced for efficient cutting
• Shock-absorbing rubber grip: Reduces vibration and improves control
• BS2945:1995 manufacturing standard: Ensures quality and safety
• Polished head finish: Reduces friction for smoother cutting
Perfect for professional arborists, farmers, and serious DIY enthusiasts tackling firewood preparation, tree felling, and general forestry work. The felling axe excels at splitting logs for winter fuel, clearing fallen branches after storms, and maintaining woodland areas. Its balanced design makes it suitable for both precision work and heavy-duty splitting tasks.
The fibreglass construction particularly suits Irish working conditions, offering excellent resistance to moisture and temperature fluctuations that can damage wooden handles. Unlike traditional axes, this felling axe maintains its integrity through wet winters and dry summers, making it ideal for year-round outdoor work across Ireland’s changing seasons.
Manufactured to rigorous BS2945:1995 standards, this Draper Expert tool represents exceptional value for money compared to imported alternatives. The combination of professional-grade materials and proven engineering ensures reliable performance for demanding applications.
