For anyone who has ever split firewood, this is the most satisfying video ever...
No kidding
Bought one about 35 years ago, still using it. The first time I tried it the log split and flew about ten feet and bounced off the side of my truck. After that I figured out how to swing just enough to split the wood.
Haha! Great story
I was always taught to let the axe or maul do the work. Shift your hands as you drop the axe down and it shifts the weight to the head of the axe giving it more weight behind the chop.
i have an exam tomorrow and i'm watching all his splitting logs videos
Tatiana Urban LOL
Tatiana Urban SAAAABAAAAGE
Exam on a Saturday!?!? Whaaaaaat?!
Bruh its saturday tomorrow
the procrastination is real
Out of all the ridiculous times that he has used safety glasses, he doesn't use them to chop wood?
Ferenzee84 😂 so true!
In Russia glass wear you.
Hey so when you chop wood you start with your dominant hand at the throat (closest part to the head of the axe) swing down and slide your dominant hand to where your non dominant hand is (bottom of the handle). If you do this it will put less strain on your back and arms and the weight of the head will do all the work
Exactly
I've been chopping wood for many years now. Sometime even very hard, branched wood. I've never done what you decsribed. Never have i had any problems with my back.
My dominant hand stays on the very end of the handle, and the other hand slides and keeps the axe on its path. Quite the opposite of what you say
crashyburny MIT yes, this is also how I swing an axe. I have tried it the correct way, in which the dominant hand does the sliding, but its just so backwards to me, and I couldnt get used to it. Also, I think the power from the swing comes from the sliding hand, and my left (non dominant) arm is certainly much stronger than my right(dominant)
crashyburny MIT same but with sledge hammers
Saw commercials for this axe in the 70s. Never used one. We always waited for it to be about 20 degrees F out side and the wood cracked easier. Your right it looks fun...
need the slo-mo close up.
I saw one of these at an antique shop the other day! There's a Swedish made axe that does essentially the same thing merely with the movement of chopping. Would love to see a comparison of the two.
Just the thumbnail got me excited to watch this!
It really cuts that wood like butter!
Bushcraft Baxter ya
Bushcraft Baxter ssssssszzzzzzzzzzzzzz hot axe v.r butter lol
Yup
Nope. Frozen butter as u need to hit harder
Bushcraft Baxter it doesn't cut it splits
I have one, and it does work well with some woods. I need to find or make a new handle for it.
No really, why aren't they making them anymore?
He says towards the end of the video that the springs would wear out and you have to replace them after so many uses
carsganster Yeah I heard that but still, it's p interesting
They do make them still they have a website and replacement springs
Marc Noel, if this thing splits, it IS a splitter.
A mallet does sma thing and lasts forever
It would be nice if you compared it with a normal axe. Also, cutting nice dry oak is going to split nicely with any axe, find different types of wood to split.
Try iron wood
Try some green maple lol
Brandon C
Brandon C try some almond tree
Try any wood I have in my yard.
WHERE IS THE SAFETY?!? NO LONGER #1 PRIORITY?!?
he'd have to wear steel pants if he were to have any safety with an axe.
Sascha P Eye protection.
elwhiteusd220 Safety should be everyone's priority. I feel so conflicted.
elwhiteusd220 taras kul is crazy Russian hacker
XxCyclops nero XD its a joke
I love simply engineered solutions. It takes a special kind of engineer to use the minimum complexity to solve a problem.
in the upward movement let the left hand near axe head then on peak slide to end of handle where your right hand is
your back will thank you
thank you finale someone said how to use an axe right
They taught me that in boy scouts. IDK why he didn't know that trick, being a grown man.
Other people of my age go out in the weekend, i watch video's of axes... Worth it
The blue jays squawking around Taras are confusing the shite outa my cat, lookin' behind my pc with saucer eyes...epic.
Had mine for 30 years. Think you can still buy Choppers on Amazon last I checked. Even the correct handle and replacement moving parts on the head. Love mine.
Splitting logs looks like a good workout.
It is. Very similar to the way fighters whack a big tractor tyre with a sledge hammer. Full body workout. You get same results using a kettlebell.
We actually have one of these. The handle is broken, so I need to replace it, but I didn't realize they weren't made anymore. Served us well for many years.
You have to put this in SlowMo
It cracks me up every time he says "there ya go" lol
Wears safety glasses when he uses kitchen gadgets but doesn’t use them when splitting wood...smh🤔
No. Your thinking of crazyrussian hacker. This is tarus kul. Differnt people
Sk8er _boi No obviously they’re two different guys but they’re just so similar I thought he would do the same as CRH
DementedCaliber You realise its a joke right?
never seen anyone wear eye protection when splitting wood
Kalil Ibn-Muhammed Bilal And the food isn't scared of him. He drags them into his home, breaks out his new tools, defiles them, and then eats what's left.
I remember ads for these things way back around 1980. I figured they were just another gimmick, but your video proves they aren't! Thanks!
Taras make my day better
Konstanyinos Riggas no you are less accurate then
love this awsome guy! full of life and loving every minute of it. he makes even the most mundane gadgets interesting becouse he makes it interesting! thank you for being you.
I want to see Wranglerstar do a review on this axe!
Second that!!!
Yes!
Why ? you already have Taras...
Devan Biasi same!
jody024 Cody just has a special charm about him when It comes to vintage tools.
I could watch a video of him chopping wood all day. It's very entertaining
So funny...I grew up with this splitting maul. I saw the title and thought maybe it was something different, but nope. just cleaner than dads. :)
Lol I cut wood all the time with my dad
We have one of these at our cottage. My dad bought it 37 years ago. Split many logs.
When he cuts wood "boom"
Bought one of those back when they first came out. Disappointed! The theory was the side pawls would keep the axe from sticking if the log didn't split. It was heavier to swing and did stick.
My dad has had one of these for about 30 years. I now understand how it works lol!
I've used one of these....works better than an axe for splitting, but nowhere near as good as a plain ol' splitting maul.
Raythulhu that's exactly right.....they probably stopped making them because nobody was buying them....looks like a gimmick.....
Lol I just love listening to this guy talk.
Got one of these 30 years ago in Canada. eventually one of the "leaves" broke but it still worked! Good buy.
That was so cool. I agree, the thumbnail did get me interested.
Pretty useful thing. Usage aside, they look pretty cool too. Gonna see if I can buy one. Woulda been interested in seeing how a regular axe handles that wood, to see much the of a difference there is in cutting power.
So cool, thanks, Taras
so Kul
My dad had one of these, best freaking invention ever. Made chopping wood very easy.
They need to start making these again
they need to make axes great again
They do still make them Google the company in newyork I ordered a brand new one
tajai007 oh cool
I need one of those
Marine Corps I've had one for 5 years. I split quite a bit of wood and it's a dream to use.
The entire marine corps commented on a communists video, iconic
Taras this axe looks kul!
Ramyrror 47 ~Your comment looks very uncool!
Badum ttttttsssssķkk
Your comment looks very unkul
Ramyrror 47 nice pun
*Innovative engineering.*
From a conventional splitter head, most of the force stays up-and-down.
With the new splitter head, it redirects most of the load sideways with those spring arms.
You're using the same energy as before, but now you're applying it in the correct direction.
Last time I was this early
That axe was still in production

Djox Montenegrin
Last time i was this early*
makes 0 then less this sense
kaden bock 👍
I grew up using that exact axe head to split many of woods. there is nothing else quit like it. I actually havent ever seen another like it till now in this video. Awesome video!
that makes splitting a cord of wood look like child's play lol.
Stanky Fish Gutz The cord is the whorly part that's really tough, right?
What are you talking about? He is cutting oak with a full-sized axe. Have you ever cut wood before? It looks exactly the same as splitting wood with a regular axe.
he is splitting straight grain wood.....that's why it "looks" like child's play
Huh, with some durability enhancements on things such as the springs so it has a long life, it certainly seems like an effective ax to use, and honestly, they should bring it back. Maybe they could start off by contacting people who normally use axes to compare a standard to the Chopper 1 to show its used.
why does taras videos always relieves my anxiety :))
because he's very calm all the time. I would be too, with his kind of life.
Because he's kul
indiapale arent you the coolest
cause he reminds you of Borat
QueefJuiceOverflow yep
I used one of these about 30 years ago when splitting wood for the family wood stove. Worked pretty well unless schmoo got stuck around the pushing arms.
You should get some wooden pallets and stack your wood piles on them instead of leaving them on the ground. Helps to dry them out quicker and they’ll stay dry because when they’re on the ground the bottom row soaks up the ground moisture. Just a suggestion!!
It makes me happy to see a a man get so happy chopping wood
Pretty cool
I have that exact wood splitter in my basement. You can, if you have the eyelets, actually hook cables up to the sides of the levers to help split the log.
When will the next birb video?
Gobble Kronme birb I thought birb was meme
Gobble Kronme birb
Gobble Kronme His birb is beautiful!
I've had one of those axes for 25 plus years. Tough as tripe and a joy to own. Works super. Great axe.
Gotta admire his enthusiasm
i love the way you speak english with this accent, very cool bro
To put the axe head on hit the end of the handle and it will push the handle into the head.
Yepp. And the wedge should be cut slightly before it bottoms and then knocked down and broken off so that the handle swells around the wedge securing it.
its painful to watch...
the stroke too with gloves also lol
And boom! You're good to go!
I got so mad when he hit the head of the axe instead to put it on...
4:11 he almost slipped 😂😂😂
Very unique super cool
It's nice to see someone with a handicap so successful on CZcams!
Looks like it makes chopping wood very easy
Used this axe in the past nothing like it. It works!
why didnt this kind of axe head become more popular ??
I have had one for thirty years. I think we bought it at Sears. Works like a champ. Much easier than an axe and mall.
My dads got one of those chopper ones , best axe I've ever used
Making chopping would look crazy easy every time but is also like A Crazy Russian Lumberjack XD
Jason Voorhees approves.
Freddy Krueger also approves
I can split peoples plains in half way easier-freddy
What the heck!?
Jason used a machete.....
B James true
funnier if you had a profile for jason
a log splitter with a chain wrapped around the log, that way you can cut smaller pieces without it all flying apart. Also the chain helps concentrate the energy of the splitter so it is more effective.
please make another video where you split wood in slowmotion with this axe
OK this is super cool.
Saftey should be #1 Priority! Wear saftey glasses when chopping wood. My mother almost lost an eye 40 years ago.
has she found it by now?
He said that she nearly lost it. So, the correct question to ask is whether she nearly found it by now.
The Chopper 1 is still made and sold . close to 90 dollars on website. I have used this axe for years. much better than a maul
on 16-18 inch and smaller wood, including oak
Very good review. Looks like a good axe head
My father purchased one of these back in the 1970's. We used it for years splitting wood.
Wow ! *Blyatful* !
THICC Bunpussy 😂😂😂😂😂
блятьtiful
Лолшто? Lolwat?
dafaq 😂😂😂😂
xD :)
I love it how he says ,,wow, this is OK" :D
This video is so sasitifying👌🏻 I like these axe videos!
I'm so glad I found this..maybe next video you'll show us a shovel, a hammer, and a few other tools that have been around a long time.
а я думаю, почему в фильмах у русских всегда такой корявый акцент, теперь понятно от куда
откуда*
сам то не выебывался бы
We have one of these up at deer camp and it is a beast and one of the best splitting mauls ive ever used. You can really split alot of wood quick with this.
That splits like butter lol
I had one of those in Tennessee. Worked just like the video. A great invention.
Nice video!!Keep up the great work.
Wulfy I had to choose the weirdest one.
My father has one of these and love it those are very good axe to split logs! Thanks for sharing.

The way the sunlight reflects at his bald head is just too amayzhin for my eyes.
In russia:
Tree chops you
Score
These are extremely effective, we have one and use us to split Hickory and it only takes a few swings, I highly recommend them
Wow so Kul! Russian hacker! 😂
Fantastic. The blade isn't even touching the wood that much at all, basically saving the blade.
now weirdest axe ever its the collest axe ever
I've had one of those things for over 45 years. They work pretty good.
And now chopper wishes they were still in business.
Pretty cool, you should do a side by side comparison to a traditional ax to see the difference between performance.
лет май спик фром май харт
I know most of your audience has never actually chopped wood, but I have, and I noticed when I did that the shape of the axe pushes the wood aside as it is split without any need for moving parts. All you need is a sufficiently heavy axe and a sufficiently strong swing. Probably the reason they quit making those things you've got is that the gadgets are a redundant and expensive flourish.
BOOM!!
Great ax. My dad has had one since the 80s and it’s still going strong
Guys
How to craft these on Minecraft?
Weeb00 ツ 2 boom and 3 thumbs up for him
Ez
Weeb00 ツ actually just take an Minecraft iron axe and add two levers on the side
These axes are cool, I bought one of these back in the 80's and I still have it, I love it!!
