A:  I hate to admit that I have missed a few blows in the time I have had this ax and not only does the handle take it but the shock in minimal compared to the old wooden handles. For splitting, the ax is faster and lighter. I can work much longer and stronger than with the old conventional splitters. I have also used this to fell a few trees and it is great. This has been a very good investment for me and I recommend it for anyone who burns wood for heat especially. I even bought one for my son for Christmas last year.

A:  It's a Splitting Axe. It is made for splitting wood not chopping. The axe head is wider then a cutting axe so it can wedge or split the smaller sections of a log.

A:  Yes, this axe is the best, cuts wood like butter.

A:  Yes you could, but this is a splitting axe, not a felling axe.  

A:  Absolutely. Depending on the size of the tree, it may require a lot of work and sweat. Sometimes it is easier to use a bow saw to cut down the tree.

A:  You sure could use it but not sure why when there are chainsaws. This however is not ideal for chopping. You want to buy a chopping axe for that purpose.
