Best Splitting Axe For Easy Firewood - Helko Werk

Helko Werk, German made splitting axes. Vario 2000 and Saxon Splitter

[@downeastjd1711]

I picked up the Saxon. I really like it.

[@DonKachot]

These are certainly nice axes/mauls but you guys sure do know how to swing 'em too!👍 Thank you for sharing

[@BuzzWorthyLife]

Thank you for watching! We appreciate it.

Splitting axe and maul are not universal terms.

[@King_gilgamesh123]

I have this axe, the screws I just can’t deal with, it breaks every couple sessions. The screws would go loose as well, I kept needing to put it back together but the axe has a very nice flare to it. It’s a grade 3 bolt, I haven’t tried it yet but you could try a grade 8 bolt on it, I think it would last longer.

[@BuzzWorthyLife]

We had this same issue with the vario , the saxon is still going strong, if it had a slightly longer handle it would be even better.

Well done, dudes

Give us another legendary grip video, brotheeeer!

Marco Buhl let me see what I can do! I just recently was able to log back in here and post videos!

its great that you are back

[@aermotors]

How dry/seasoned was this wood? Seriously beautiful wood and splitter. We dont get oak like that here in Utah.

[@BuzzWorthyLife]

Hello Aermotors ! I have an aermotor windmill too! This is oak in the red oak variety which is always a joy to split, white oak is not a joy to split as it’s stringy. This tree had probably been dead for 5 years but I can tell you with confidence that a living red oak would be equally as easy to split!

[@aermotors]

@@BuzzWorthyLife Haha that's awesome! Okay good info, thanks for the reply! No issues with the alen head bolts 4 years later?

[@timbarry5080]

Nice

[@BuzzWorthyLife]

Thank you!

[@scottflanagan7927]

Great work Gents. Which is your favorite?

[@BuzzWorthyLife]

I have enjoyed the Saxon, we actually had a bolt failure on the vario, it was a small issue that was easy to fix, but it is considered a break. The Saxon has held up perfect with no breaking.

[@kenmckeecma]

How many cords of wood would come from the tree that was cut down? I know it is contingent on the tree size, but based on your experiences, do you have some general guidelines you can share?

[@BuzzWorthyLife]

I would say this is a 1-1.5 cord tree. I typically burn 3-4 cords a winter depending on how cold it gets.

[@kenmckeecma]

@@BuzzWorthyLife thank you

[@hellofurend]

that saxxon looks like more effort than the 2000

[@vangmountain]

I get the feeling this family never went cold in the winter. Next time use bigger logs cuz the logs were clearly outgunned. That's some beautiful red oak there. Splits with a thunderous pop. Worst splitting video because these guys were essentially taking candies from a baby! I want to see people huffing and puffing! Definitely could tell you boys have taken a couple of swings before.

[@abbassihm]

Looks like a great splitting axe but I think the wood helps

[@xTheJmanChannel]

How have those two axes held up?

[@BuzzWorthyLife]

They have held up well , the Saxon has held up the best , the vario had a bolt break in the head , but that’s not too surprising since it’s not as rigid of a joint as the Saxon.

[@hotpoker4212]

Fiskers x27 super splitting axe and the fiskers isocore 8 lb splitting maul, best tools for splitting,by a mile,

[@ljss6805]

I have the fiskars maul. Love it.

[@scottflanagan7927]

Get work guys!

[@BuzzWorthyLife]

Thank you!

[@WebRabbit31303194]

Is it worth the 200 dollar price tag?

[@BuzzWorthyLife]

Yes, I really like it. I have had the axe for a full season of splitting and it still looks like new. It’s holding up well.

[@passwordistaco507]

@@BuzzWorthyLife which one? Saxon or vario?

[@barbarianleatherandblades8686]

Which one do yall like best? I have been trying to decide

[@beastly_brisket_man6249]

I want

[@BuzzWorthyLife]

I can attest to the quality of Helko, my axe is still in very good shape despite heavy use.
