Handle length, head weight, and overall design determine how easy and convenient an axe is to use. Our testing revealed the features that help make an axe qualify as one of the best on the market. If the axe had a specialty design, we also tested that axe within its specialty-felling trees, throwing at targets, or doing some woodworking. We tested the axes using an established rubric-splitting at least five pieces of wood and making kindling with each one. Wrist fatigue factored into ease of use as well. We rated each axe for usefulness and whether or not we would want to swing it again. These measurements play into an axe’s balance, which greatly influences how well and how long they can be used. We scored each axe on performance and efficiency and noted their handle length and head weight. Swinging an axe is hard work, but a well-designed tool makes that work more manageable.
