Maximum Leverage & Power: The 600mm Fibreglass Handled Axe
The 2.5lb Long-Handle Axe is a professional-grade tool designed for serious timber tasks. At ECO Heat Shop, we value hardware that encourages sustainable home energy management. By processing your own firewood with a high-efficiency tool, you reduce reliance on pre-packaged fuel and take control of your home heating. This 600mm axe is perfectly balanced to provide the swing velocity needed for splitting large logs while remaining agile enough for lighter clearing work.
Unlike traditional ash-handled axes that can splinter or rot if stored in damp UK outbuildings, the fibreglass shaft is virtually indestructible and impervious to the elements. The head-to-handle bond is engineered to withstand high-impact forces, ensuring the tool remains safe and reliable throughout years of heavy use.
Key Features & Professional Benefits
- Forged Carbon Steel Head: Heat-treated for optimal hardness, the blade edge is designed to bite deep into timber, while the flared cheeks help burst logs apart with minimal effort.
- 600mm Reach: The extended handle length provides the increased “arc” needed to generate significant kinetic energy, making it far more effective for log splitting than shorter hatchets.
- Shock-Reducing Fibreglass: The hollow-core fibreglass construction absorbs the “sting” of the impact, protecting your joints and reducing user fatigue during long sessions at the woodpile.
- Secure Over-Strike Protection: The handle features a reinforced neck to protect against damage in the event of an accidental over-strike.
- Non-Slip Safety Grip: The textured TPR handle ensures a firm hold even when working in wet conditions or wearing heavy work gloves.

Why Choose ECO Heat Shop Hardware?

Expert Tip: For the safest and most efficient chopping, always use a dedicated chopping block. A 600mm handle requires a wide stance; ensure your feet are shoulder-width apart and your workspace is clear of debris. Regularly honing the edge with a whetstone will maintain the axe’s “bite” and reduce the amount of force required for each strike.
