When a fellow’s got a winter’s worth of logs to split, an ill-balanced, wimpy-handled axe just isn’t gonna cut it. The German-made Adler Super Splitter will, thanks to four generations of ax-crafting expertise. Its 6-lb. expansion wedge head falls like a thunderbolt to bust chunks apart without clamping. The 31½" American hickory handle feels natural in the hands, with a slip-free grip that lets you put the energy into the wood without sacrificing an accurate strike. A metal collar protects the handle throat in case your aim strays a mite. Get yours and cut your splitting chores down to size.
