I purchased one of these Chopper1 knock-offs, and unfortunately, one of the splitting jaws broke the first time I used it to split firewood. Amazon was kind enough to let me return it and send a replacement. However, the replacement axe also broke, but by then, I was outside the return window. While using the replacement, the spring broke, again while splitting firewood. Additionally, one of the retaining pins for the splitting jaw fell out and was lost. Sadly, the manufacturer's website does not offer an option to order replacement parts. Based on my experience, I would recommend buying the Chopper1 Axe instead.

Normal wood splitting and the Metal head and handle broke after the third use. Pins started coming out so I assume they're not supposed to do that. Worked great the first two times.

Works super well as long as the springs don't break and the handle. I couldn't believe how well it chopped wood by far the best axe I've ever used. It hardly ever gets stuck in the wood, its like magic. However not long after using the springs broke. I'm handy and I was able to fix them. Then the dang wood handle broke. I got a new handle so we'll see how it does.

I bought this because it looked like a splitter my nephew has. I liked his so I thought I would get a similar one.Out of the box it looked good so this morning I took it for a test drive. It worked best on logs 8 to 9 inches in diameter. It had trouble with bigger stuff. The blade is like a split mal so it isn't sharp but with spring assist it split OK. So problem 1: didn't handle much of my pile.The second problem became obvious oddly enough, on the second log. It was a 9 inch diameter and I hit the log, it didn't split, but I noticed that the handle had slipped out of the head about 3/8 of an inch. So I tapped it back in. Second issue:handle not tightly attached..The third issue was the pin on the spring assist lever. It flew out and was a bear to find in the saw dust. It wasn't hard to put back in, but should never come out during usage. Third issue: Badly assembled/poor construction..Finally. It really wasn't much better than a splitting mal. It worked but not nearly as well as I expected after using my nephew's version.Not great. Not even good.

I've had this product over a month now. I've used it just for splitting wood. In total I have used if for about 42 hours. Spent 3 hours straight hacking at wood around my work. Craftsmanship on this axe is a ok. Could see someone had used it before the black paint doesn't cover the whole axe head. The handle looks somewhat ok almost as if it was done in a rush. But one thing to note is that this axe is very difficult to split wood if it's still green or just too big, meaning the spring contraption on there stops the axe head to go in deeper to successfully spilt the log into two or so. Would be great to just use as a splitter axe for stumps less than 1 1/2 foot in height. But it is pretty heavy just you'll spend alot of time trying to split the wood. Also I had to sharpen my axe it was duller than a teaspoon. Also the silicone cover is somewhat appreciated but something bigger would be best.Tldr: great axe for small wood stumps, was dull, blade sheath is ok but could be better, craftsmanship was a ok not best.
