This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

The Fiskars X17 Single Bit Splitting Axe with a durable fiberglass handle is purpose-built for quick, clean splits and dependable performance when you’re shaping firewood for the season. Designed to deliver leverage where you need it most, this axe pairs a forged steel head with a rugged fiberglass handle to tackle hardwoods and seasoned logs with confidence.

Why the Fiskars X17 stands out

  • Fiberglass handle for durability: Weather-resistant and tough, this handle resists warping and everyday wear, giving you a reliable tool year after year.
  • 23.5-inch overall length: Strikes the ideal balance between leverage and control, helping you split efficiently without overreaching or losing balance.
  • Forged steel single-bit head: A focused design paired with a sharp, durable edge that drives through logs with minimal effort, making it ideal for most standard firewood tasks.
  • Includes sheath: Safe storage and transport are built in, so the edge stays protected and you’re ready to work when you are.
  • High-visibility color: Black and orange hue makes the tool easy to spot in your shed or on a worksite, reducing the risk of misplacement.
  • Trusted X17 performance: Sub-branding that signals Fiskars engineering and consistency you can rely on for routine splitting jobs.

Ideal use cases

  • Splitting firewood for the fireplace, wood stove, or campfire pits—especially effective on seasoned logs where clean splits matter.
  • Backyard wood prep for family camping trips or outdoor gatherings, where quick, repeatable splits save time and effort.
  • Light to moderate-duty log splitting tasks around cabins, cottages, or homesteads where a reliable, long-lasting tool is valued.

How it compares (practical, non-brand-specific insights)

Compared to traditional, shorter, or heavier axes, the Fiskars X17 offers improved leverage and control without sacrificing maneuverability. The fiberglass handle helps resist moisture and temperature swings, while the single-bit head concentrates power for efficient splitting. The included sheath adds safety and longevity, making this axe a practical upgrade for anyone who splits wood regularly.

Tips for best results

  • Use a steady, controlled swing with a stable stance to maximize each split.
  • Keep the edge sharp and inspect the head for any nicks before use.
  • Store with the sheath on and in a dry location to extend tool life.
  • Direct your splits along the grain of the wood for cleaner, more consistent results.
