Transcript
I bought it, so you don't have to. Let's review it and see if it's worth what people say it is. Here we go. We're gonna use responsible sized pieces of wood. I don't wanna use too big of stumps or rounds because this is a smaller ax, so we have to be fair and use it how it's intended to be used. No I hate to be the dead horse here, but the first thing I no is that hollow fiberglass handle. Lot of shock, A lot of reverb back into my hands and arms. I would feel like just throughout the course of the whole day or using it on hardwood, it just has a lot of feedback. Let me show you what I mean by that. I'm really not pushing that hard at all. And you see how much play and flexibility there is there. You are really feeling every bit of that on every swing. That is my number one concern. It's nice and long. It's lightweight. Little spot for your pinky to rest there. Oh, I think 8.9 out of 10 seems fair. Perfect.
