A mechanical log splitting axe head manufactured by Chopper Industries in the United States. This cast steel tool features a specialized design incorporating two spring-loaded lateral levers within the head. Upon impact with wood, these levers are engineered to pivot outward, exerting side pressure to assist in splitting the grain and preventing the tool from binding. The upper face of the head is cast with the mark CHOPPER 1 and USA. A raised side section displays the inscription PAT. NO 4044000, referring to a 1977 United States patent. This item consists of the metal head component only.
