Coleman Axe with Durable Steel Head & Non-Slip Grip Handle, Great for Splitting Wood & Hammering Stakes, Ideal for Camping, Survival, Landscaping

great for the price

Awesome axe! First hand axe I have honestly owned and it came with a way to remove nails, pretty cool! Not super duper sharp when you first get it but it has some weight to it so it chops just great. I used this to remove some large left over stumps that were growing near some concrete. Could not get a chain saw near the concrete so I used this to chop most of it down and then dig down and remove them. They were small and up against concrete so they could not be pulled out with a chain either.

Not that sharp, but solid metal handle to the butt of the handle. I drilled the end for a rope loop. its a good utility hatchet. not the best for splitting wood, but durable.

You'd think it would be hard to complain about an axe that costs less than a fast food meal but welcome to my world. My immediate thought when I grabbed this axe was "Holy $%^&, this thing is heavy". Fatigue is a legitimate concern here. NOT a contender for a pack axe or primary home kindling splitter. Next, I noticed the poor angled of the edge, wide, fat and dull. I then stared at it perplexed for longer than I can remember, wondering why they put this odd curve to the handle and grip. It really add no advantage to the swing or splitting power. STILL - for $10 this is a fine backup/throw away, give away axe. I can see myself spending about 5 minutes with a flapper disc correcting the sins of Coleman and making this a decently sharp and effective splitter. It's heafy and built in such a way that brings some 80s nostalgia. I really think it'll last a long time and be purposeful with some tweaking. Again, for the money, I can endorse this so long as you understand its caveats.

Living along the coast of a hurricane prone state can provide you with some of the most amazing views, incredible seafood, meanest mosquitoes, and scariest hurricanes. If you ever research Hurricane Katrina and the areas that flooded, some of the people who were in their homes when it flooded moved to their attics and got trapped in the flood waters. The people who had an axe chopped their way through the roof to create a hole to get on top of their roof to wait to be rescued. That is why we keep an axe by our attic door. This axe is the perfect size for anyone to use. I have very small hands for an adult and I was able to grip the handle without any difficulty. The axe is also weighted correctly for easy use. If you ever used an axe or any other tool that is too heavy at the top, you will understand what I mean by weighted correctly. The blade of this axe is definitely sharp enough to do the job efficiently and effectively. Hopefully, we never really have to use this axe for anything other than chopping firewood for our firepit, but we are thankful to have a tool ready just in case we ever get more water than we expect in our neighborhood.

As reported by another, it did come dull, safe mailing I guess... So I took it to my knife sharpening machine and worked it over for half an hour, now tis very sharp... cannot wait to try it on some nasty weeds n stuff. For $7 it is a steal.

I have owned plenty of axes so I believe I know them well enough to give you a useful review on this Coleman Camp Axe. The curve on the end of the handle is not really helpful. Part of me thinks they are so cheap because the company is basically trying to liquid their inventory - mainly because of these types of shortcomings. The weight is respectable for its small size. This is a hatchet at best. This "hatchet" ships with a very wide blade angle. So it doesn't do near as well as it could mainly because it ships kind of... dull... After grinding the blade down to a better angle it did much better at chopping and biting into wood. You don't want it as sharp as a knife, obviously, that would cause it to chip or get stuck in the tree you are chopping up, but you do want it to penetrate on each whack! That said, stock sharp it can work through less dense wood, but don't expect it to chop through a dry avocado branch. The back of the blade head has a curve to it. Why? It is another shortcoming for this hatchet. Had it been flat you could use it as a hammer and other uses that require a flat back to the axe head. It does have a hanging notch so you can put it on a nail on the wall. It does NOT have a sheath. But at stock sharpness you don't need one. Overall I have mixed feelings about this hatchet. I have used many that had a stock sharpness that was much better and didn't have the above mentioned shortcomings so I give this a three. If we were just talking about price and if I hadn't used something much better I would consider this a four and a half stars perhaps. But knowing better I cannot suggest this unless you know you will be hacking at soft wood and/or need something dirt cheap.

For 8 bucks, are you kidding me? It's good. Really good. Sturdy, heavy and solid. Sharp for what you paid. Blade can easily be sharpened if not sharp enough. Definitely worth 8 bucks for sure!

De buen peso y mango metálico que promete buena duración, habrá que ver. El agarre es suave pero firme se puede trabajar a mano desnuda, sin guantes y no lastima, la he trabajado poco pero conserva el filo de buena manera, me sorprendió el precio, me pareció barata en función de la calidad y marca, recomendable.

It’s good! Great for camping.

I got this for my son for a camping trip we had planned. Even though it shipped from overseas it still came pretty quickly-only around a week. It is a fairly small and light little axe, so you won’t be splitting blocks with it, but it is good for splitting kindling or chopping through shrubs and smaller saplings. It comes reasonably sharp as well. And of course, it’s a Coleman… Five very nervous saplings out of five

Split kindling to your heart;s desire with this bad boy!

Good quality and works well for firewood for camping.
