Super-Efficient Ax

If by chance you are currently using ax or axe to cut wood and split it, then this super-efficient ax will be of interest to you.

Conventional ax requires that you fully utilizes your upper body strength to split any wood. Sometime, if you miss the wood, most probably, the ax will end up cutting your leg.

By utilizing leverage, a shallow angle is used to maximize the force of the weight on the other end of the level and cutting the wood efficiently. A conventional ax uses no leverage where it simply strikes the wood at a 90 degree angle like a sharp hammer. Therefore, enough momentum is required to split the wood using conventional ax.
