About the HUSQVARNA 1600S Splitting Axe
Axe Built for Smooth and Powerful Splitting
The Husqvarna 1600S Splitting Axe is crafted to make firewood splitting faster, easier, and more comfortable. It’s ideal for preparing medium-sized logs and offers a perfect combination of power, control, and reliability. Whether for home firewood use or outdoor tasks, this axe is designed to perform with minimal strain.
Wedge-Shaped Head with Friction-Reducing Coating
The axe head features a wedge-shaped design with a non-stick coating that reduces resistance during splitting. This coating allows smoother entry into wood and ensures less energy is lost on each swing. The specialised shape of the head focuses the force directly into the log for efficient results.
Engineered for Power and Balance
The axe’s balance point is located close to the head, offering controlled motion and consistent force with every use. This design helps improve splitting performance without needing extra effort from the user. The lightweight shaft increases swing speed and makes extended use much easier.
Durable Materials for Long-Term Performance
The shaft is made from fibre-reinforced PA material, which provides strength and resilience during heavy-duty splitting work. A stainless steel protection insert guards the lower shaft against damage and wear over time. Built for repeated use, this axe is dependable in all seasons.
Versatile Hammer Function for Extra Utility
On the rear of the axe head is a built-in hammer surface for driving splitting wedges when needed. It’s perfect for non-steel wedges and adds further functionality to the axe. This feature enhances efficiency during demanding wood preparation tasks.
Comfortable Design That Reduces Fatigue
Ergonomic shaping and non-slip shaft material help ensure safer, more comfortable use across longer sessions. The Husqvarna 1600S offers reliable power in a comfortable, durable form.
