Leveraxe Reviews from Customers
___________________________________________________________________________________
‘I received a leveraxe for Fathers Day, and have been giving it a good test split. The ax is very well made and thought out. It splits USA Northeast hardwood as described in the advertisements. There is a little getting use to having the ax rotate in your hand, but that the “mechanical” advantage of it as it pops splits of wood off the bolts. It’s light weight, which is an advantage to us “older, seasoned” splitters who started out with 8 pound mauls years ago, but performs even better than a maul in that not all the pieces have to be stood back up to split them again. The ax is also designed to stand on its own so you don’t have to bend and pick it up constantly.
It’s a little pricey due to the import taxes, but a lot cheaper than a hydraulic splitter, and a whole lot better for you mentally and physically.’

I AM TRYING TO SPLIT WOOD FOR THE WINTER.I AM NOT THAT STRONG,BUT I DO USE A CHAIN SAW PRETTY WELL.
ANY RECOMENDATIONS?
SINCERELY,

Jane,
We would recommend for you the Leveraxe 2. Reason being, it is 1 lbs lighter than the leveraxe 1. This lightness will be beneficial to you in your situation. Leveraxe 2 – ‘light like a feather, hits like a hawk’. Here is Leveraxe 2 link: https://leverax.com/product/leveraxe-2-buy-vipukirves/
I go my new axe today. Took it right out to whack at a 18 inch long 23 inch in diameter white ash round. Great tool. amazing cutting and splitting strength. Puts my former favorite Fiskar to shame. GREAT JOB!!!!
Dan,
Wonderful to hear! We are so happy that you like that LeverAxe so much, it definitely out performs the Fiskar axe! Do you have the wooden or plastic handle on your leveraxe? Our new product GripRock Splitting Block takes the LeverAxe to the next level! Check it out: https://leverax.com/product/griprock-splitting-block/
How is it with a much tougher Australian hardwood?

Does anyone have experience with using the Leveraxe on Douglas Fir? This is not an easy wood to split given its convoluted grain. Looks like a great tool but they don’t have Doug Fir in Finland so it hasn’t been tested. Quite a price for an experiment.
Thanks. Bob
Bob,
LeverAxe doesn’t have any problem with Douglas Fur. We can send you a slightly used LeverAxe for under 200 usd. This way you could confirm us. Are you interested?
Just split almost six full cords of Douglas Fir today with my axe. I can’t say that is it “easy” to do so but I can absolutely verify that it is much much easier than using my maul. I am impressed, and that isn’t easy. Wish I had video, because it was almost ridiculous how much easier it was. The logs I split were about 12-18 inches long, ranging from 10 to 28 inches in diameter. They were sawed about a year ago and were fairly dry (not dry enough to burn this year). Even in the knottier logs, it took only a few quick and easy swings to split and quarter. This axe is light enough to use one-handed, but you do need to use both hands to swing it squarely and guide it as you loosen your grip on impact. There is a VERY definite feeling when you hit it right.
Brendan,

You gotta be shitting me,asking that much for your leverage.Guess I,ll stick with my gas engine log splitter.Talk to you highway robber,s in a few years.When your prices come down to earth.
Bill,
Not to worry prices are dropping by the week. You will enjoy leveraxe, no smoke and noise. Great weight loss and muscle builder. Swings like feather, hits like a hawk!
If the handle gets broken is replacing it a chore or is it easy to do at home? Do I need any special tools?
Mikes,
Yes a LeverAxe handle replace is a rather difficult at home because the handle are pressed on requiring special tools. We use a hydraulic press to replace the handles. We can do a care-free handle replacement for you at the following link:https://leverax.com/product/leveraxe-handle-replacement-service/ We will get you back chopping in no time!
Greetings,
Looks interesting… but, expensive. If it works as well as the videos portray it might be worth it. What if it doesn’t? Do you offer a trial or a return policy. I would be splitting various species including tough hardwoods. I would love to try it.
Thanks Jim
I love the advantages of applying physics to making a physical chore much more enjoyable. I’ll be getting back in touch a little later.
Stage,
You said it! LeverAxe is the first axe since the stone ages that does not use a wedge shape head to split the wood apart. This is remarkable! Check out our new product that makes splitting wood even easier:

How easy is this to use if you haven’t split wood and are female?
Linda,
We recommend this leveraxe model for you https://leverax.com/product/leveraxe-ultra-the-smart-axe/, because it 1 lbs. (0.5 kg) lighter than the Leveraxe Classic model. Due to the fact that is so light, it is easier to swing and handle than other axes. You will be surprised how little strength it take to split wood with the leveraxe. It innovative design uses the lever action, simple machine to lever the wood apart. Let us know if we can be of further assistance.
I’m in northern AZ and split a couple cords a year, mostly aspen, some oak and/or juniper for heating an off-grid cabin. Saw an article about the Leveraxe on an American Society for Mechanical Engineers newsletter. Your site shows two Leveraxe classic models but one is priced at $59 and the other is $239. What’s the difference? Is the less expensive one without a handle or something?
Mark,
Our leveraxe splits easily the woods that you burn at your cabin. We had a of fun doing that article with ASME! To answer your questions: Leveraxe MX (https://leverax.com/product/leveraxe-classic-mx-buy-vipukirves/), is made in Mexico and has a hickory handle for 59 usd. The Leveraxe Classic (https://leverax.com/product/leveraxe-classic-the-smart-axe/), is the original made in Finland with a rugged composite handle. This one is high quality and Superior workmanship compared to Leveraxe MX. Let me know if you have any more questions.
