Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Customers like the performance and versatility of the axe. For example, they say it works better than expected, is a great multi-purpose tool, and has many uses in home gardening and landscaping. That said, some complain about the quality. They say the handle broke the first day, it's not durable, and the ax head doesn't live up to the hype.

This axe worked fairly well for the brief time before it broke. The handle snapped after the third use, while chopping wood, so obviously I'm not impressed with the durability.
Sweet Pulaski, use it for brush fires all the time, also works great for HAZMAT calls to build dikes and dams and trenches! Love to make everyone jealous in the dept when my dad, best friend, brother and I show up with our own Pulaski and actually know how to use them and dig a line. This is the 4th one I have bought.
Nice to find an axe of any sort with a good wooden handle. Very nice on a Pulaski, as it’s lighter to carry, more forgiving on your hands when digging, and less prone to melt in a fire.
I have missed having a Pulaski tool around for years and now I have one again. It grubs up tough roots, chops woody shrubs and trees, takes an edge with ease. Used on the fireline to cut fire breaks and dig up burning roots, it also has many uses in home gardening and landscaping.
My family binged Naked and Afriad and we kept hearing about Gary’s Pulaski that we needed one. It sat in the garage for 6 months until I was finally ready to use it. We were going camping and I needed to split some wood. First shot went through he first log like butter. Awesome!!! Split it right in half. Now it’s time to split those in half. First shot (second on the Pulaski) and the handle breaks in two. Well, it you want to pay that much money for one shot, go for it. My trusty $15 Home Depot axe split all he rest of the wood no problem. What a let down. I truly feel I was deceived by Naked and Afraid. That’s it for reality TV for me.
While I am by no means an axe aficionado, I am less than impressed with the quality of this axe head. From outward appearances, the head looks as though the mold for it was crafted quickly and roughly. The curves in the more intricate areas are less than symmetrical. This leads me to believe that with extended use this may cause uneven wear and/or stress and reduce the life of the head. I am also rather surprised at how dull the axe is. The main edge follows the quality of the intricate areas. It is not uniform and the angle of the sharp edge appears to vary. Admittedly, I have not yet had the chance to put the axe to work. If and when I decide to use this axe, I may update the review to reflect a more complete analysis. This is of course, as mentioned, a review of appearances from one who is not well versed in axe terminology or quality. I suppose this is what one gets from seeking an inexpensive large handle axe.
