Their handle can be either wooden or fiberglass, but then the model costs the user more, however, its weight is less.

Cleaver with a wooden handle has a well thought-out design, since such a tool must withstand a large mechanical load. When using such a tool, it is important to check the firmness of the fit of the metal part on the wooden handle, otherwise it may break off and cause harm.

Of the large number of models, the following are worth highlighting.

• "Zubr 20616-20" - a model that has an increased cost due to the presence of a two-component fiberglass handle in the design, which made it possible to significantly reduce the weight, while increasing the operating time of the tool. Work surface - forged steel. The ax is 88 centimeters long and is the ideal size to deliver a powerful blow from behind.
• Cleaver from the series "Master" "eared" 20616-20 - has a work surface made of forged steel.

The manufacturer has thought over the tool and endowed it with an anti-vibration system.

All products of this manufacturer in the described category can be classified as tools for everyday use and solving simple household tasks. For the latter, a special protective cover for the metal base is offered, which simplifies the storage process.

When choosing a tool, most people are used to relying on cost, however, a low price is most often an indicator of either minimal functionality or the use of low-quality materials. When buying a product from the Zubr company, it is worth considering:
