About Helko Vario 2000 Axes & Hatchets
Ever had to replace a broken handle on a traditional axe head?  Most of us would rather go buy a whole new axe than bother with fixing the old one. And if you're out on a remote location without the right tools to make needed repairs - forget it. Both situations are an unfortunate waste of time and money. Unlike traditional axes and hatchets, helko Vario 2000 handles are easily replaced in minutes by means of a simple cap screw retainer system and hex key. Uniquely, every part in the system is standardized, so that every component in the system is completely interchangeable from one model to the other.

The cap & screw retainer system is also a built-in safety feature that keeps loose heads on the handle where they belong, not flying off at an unintended target. To further protect the handles, all axes are equipped with an aluminum over-strike protectors (over-strike protectors not included with the hatchets.)  The steel tool heads are forged and hardened to strict German DIN standards to stand up to rigorous use. Weights listed are head weights only. Hex key is included with all completely assembled units. All components available seperately.
