Hatchets

Question 1

Which hatchet handle material is best for me?

Accepted Answer

The best handle material depends on your needs and preferences. Consider the type of tasks you'll be performing, the environment you'll be working in, and your desired balance of durability, comfort, and feel to choose the handle that will work best for you. We carry materials like rubber, plastic, and polypropylene to suit your needs.

Question 2

What's the difference between a hatchet and a hiking axe?

Accepted Answer

While hiking axes and hatchets are similar, hatchets are typically smaller and lighter, making them more convenient for outdoor adventures like camping and backpacking. On the other hand, hiking axes are slightly larger and better suited for tasks that require more power, such as chopping thicker branches or splitting small logs.

Question 3

What's the main difference between different hatchet head shapes?

Accepted Answer

Different head shapes are designed for specific tasks. A wider, heavier head like that on a splitting hatchet generates more force for splitting wood, while a narrower head is better for finer work like carving and shaping, offering more control and precision. We carry both camp axe and hatchet head types.

Question 4

The Billhook Steel Clearing Hatchet (18 in. ) is one of our top-rated hatchets.
