Gardena 1400A Axe Tool

The GARDENA Universal Axe 1400A (model 8716-20, EAN 4078500015233) is a versatile single-blade axe for construction, forest and general outdoor woodwork. It has a 1 kg head on a 600 mm, fiber-reinforced PA shaft with stainless-steel shaft protection and a balance point close to the head to improve weight distribution and control.

Advantages

The axe head has a non-stick coating to reduce friction and allow easier entry into wood, while the head geometry is adapted for effective woodworking. The fiber-reinforced shaft and stainless-steel protection increase durability and service life. A hammer function on the poll enables efficient use with splitting wedges. GARDENA provides a 10-year warranty for this tool.
