I have read many reviews of similar hatchets. It was actually the handle of this model that convinced me to purchase it. I was curious about it, and the price encouraged me to try—if anything, I could pass it on. The blade seems solid, and the tip is strong. A slight imbalance of the whole is compensated by the noticeable leverage and comfort of use provided by the longer handle.

The hatchet works as expected; the only inconvenience was loose screws (I just needed to tighten them), and the problem hasn’t occurred again.
-
After a few hours of use, looseness appeared between the handle and the blade, along with a few chips. Despite this, the tool serves its purpose well.
