Product Description
Milwaukee 16 in. Splitting Axe
Model Number: 48-22-9061
The Milwaukee 48-22-9061 is a 16 in. Splitting Axe — a compact manual wood splitting tool for splitting smaller firewood rounds and kindling in the backyard, campsite, and homestead settings where a full-size 26 in. splitting axe or splitting maul is more tool than the job requires. The splitting axe's wedge geometry drives along the wood grain to spread and split the log apart rather than cutting across the grain as a felling or camp axe does — the wedge shape uses the wood's natural tendency to split along the grain for efficient splitting with less force than cross-grain cutting requires. The compact 16 in. handle length is more maneuverable in tight storage areas, easier to transport to a campsite, and appropriate for the smaller rounds and kindling splitting that the 16 in. format addresses most efficiently without the full swing arc and two-handed operation that the longer 26 in. format requires.
Milwaukee builds the splitting axe from drop-forged quality steel at the head for the impact resistance and edge geometry retention that splitting rounds of varying hardness requires through a season of firewood and kindling preparation. The compact 16 in. format is the right tool for the property owner, camper, and homesteader whose firewood processing volume and round sizes make the shorter, lighter axe the practical everyday choice over the heavier 26 in. format. The 26 in. version (48-22-9062) is available for larger splitting work requiring more swing energy.
