[QUOTE="sixminus1, post: 1238230, member: 20610"] I have the chopping axe and the super splitting axe. Using them safely required me to do a lot of what was already mentioned, mostly because the handle is shorter: 1. Raise the round up a little higher 2. Stand closer to the round 3. Hit the center, or the far side of the round -- use the wood to block that sharp axe head from getting anywhere near your legs. 4. Let the axe do the work for you -- don't try to muscle it through any pieces. This will just result in a slip and an injury. The danger for me was being so used to swinging a heavy maul. The lighter weight of the Fiskars tools fooled me into thinking that I'd have to wind up for a bigger swing. I quickly found out that the splitting axe does a great job with about half of the effort, as long as I worked with it, instead of trying to force it to work with me. [/QUOTE]
