The operational principles of the traditional axe and Leveraxe
Traditional axe is based on the wedge
The traditional axe is simply a heavy wedge that is swung at the wood. If it has enough momentum, it penetrates into the wood, spreads it and thus splits the wood.
In designing the traditional axe the challenge is to find the optimal wedge shape which both penetrates into the wood and splits it. Too shallow an angle and the axe will not split the wood and too wide and the axe will not penetrate.
In practice, everybody who has tried splitting wood with a traditional axe knows that it takes a lot of power to penetrate and split the wood. Consequently, women and children may have serious trouble operating the traditional axe.
In addition, the traditional axe is quite dangerous. While hitting with full force the head of the axe has a lot of kinetic energy and is hard to control. It is frequently possible to miss the wood entirely. The axe might bounce from the wood or sometimes the axe might penetrate a weaker part of wood with surprising ease and continue its swinging trajectory at high speed. In all these cases the axe can be travelling at your body and cause severe pain and injury.
When using a traditional axe the work is quite slow. It happens quite often that the axe penetrates into the wood but does not have enough energy to split it. The reason is that there is an enormous amount of friction when the wedge penetrates the wood and tries to split it and this friction consumes the axe’s energy. As a result, you have a log that has the axe stuck firmly inside it. Removing it can be quite challenging at times.
The other reason for the slow progress with the traditional axe is that actually a lot of time is used for lifting the split wood back onto the splitting block. With a traditional axe you are forced to always hit in the middle of the wood. Thus both split woods fall to the ground and you need to lift them up to continue splitting the first one and then the second one. It is quite laborious and straining for the back.
Leveraxe is based on a lever mechanism and rotational action
The operational principle of the Leveraxe is totally different from the traditional axe.
Leveraxe is fast and efficient
Logs are split usually with the first strike. The axe won’t get stuck inside the wood. Time is not wasted lifting the woods back on the chopping block as the axe holds the log steady for the next strike.
When using a chopping block with a tire setup you can achieve a burst of strikes at a frequency of 100 strikes a minute. Thus, as an example, using 10 strikes to chop a log would take 6 seconds. This level of speed does require acquiring certain practice using the Leveraxe, of course.
Leveraxe can handle also the large and difficult logs
You no longer need to aim the first attempts at the centre of the log and try to split it in half. With the leveraxe you can start from the edges and easily chop away the easiest pieces first, reducing a large log to small pieces with ease. This way it does not actually matter how large the log is.
Leveraxe is faster than a hydraulic splitter.
There are also electrical hydraulic splitters. They are handy in the way that one needs to only hold a handle and press the button and the machine takes care of the rest. Despite this obvious advantage, they are not without shortcomings. They can only be operated where electricity is available and often require long electrical extension cords and for the sake of safety also a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) should be used.
Due to the requirement of providing strong pressure and also as a safety aspect they are slow to operate as most of the time is spent waiting for the piston to traverse. Because they have a hydraulic mechanism they can not be used in cold temperatures (recommended operating temperature over +5 degrees of Celsius). Also, they don’t provide the joy of chopping the wood with kinetic energy that axes do.

Leveraxe is the fast, easy, safe, ecological and fun way of chopping your firewood!
Leveraxe is the most enjoyable way of chopping logs
With a proper tool chopping wood is pure pleasure. With Leveraxe you can experience the traditional enjoyable feeling of being able to able to harvest nature’s energy resources with your own muscle power while doing it with a very refined special tool.
Safety has been one of the main principals when designing the Leveraxe. Thus it can even be put in the hands of women and children for whom a traditional axe would be hard and dangerous to use.
With Leveraxe, it is impossible to strike through the log, because Leveraxe will stop on top of the log. The Leveraxe also does not bounce wildly as might happen with traditional axe. The axe changes the kinetic energy to rotational motion and is much easier to control. It is much rarer that you would totally miss the log, because the sideways wing on top of the axe and the stopping knob beneath it ensure the axe will catch the log even if the striking edge would miss it. Of course, it can not help you if you miss the log by a mile, but that rarely happens.
The length of Leveraxe handle (90 cm) is longer than in traditional axes. This provides more kinetic energy but is also an important safety feature. Even if the axe would continue past the log the trajectory will guide it to hit the ground before you instead of hitting your legs.
