Axes
JCB axes are made for splitting, chopping and clearing. The Splitting Axe Pro XL features a forged Grade-A carbon steel head with heat-treated blade and a reinforced fibreglass handle that absorbs shock and resists moisture. Aggressive blade angles and an optimised balance point maximise swing efficiency so each strike does more work. The protective sheath makes storage and transport safe. Backed by JCB's lifetime warranty on axes. For smallholders, farmers, foresters and anyone who works with timber.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a splitting axe and a felling axe?
A splitting axe has a wide wedge-shaped head designed to cleave wood along the grain when splitting logs for firewood. A felling axe has a thinner sharper blade for cutting across the grain to fell trees or remove limbs. The JCB range focuses on splitting axes for firewood and land clearance work.
Does the JCB axe come with a warranty?
Yes. JCB axes include a lifetime warranty against defects in the axe head. The fibreglass handle is covered by the standard JCB product warranty. Terms and conditions apply — see the product page for full warranty details.
How do I maintain a JCB splitting axe?
Keep the blade edge sharp using a sharpening stone or file working at the original blade angle. Clean the head after use to prevent surface rust. Store in the provided sheath in a dry location. Check the head-to-handle connection is secure before each use.
