Revainrating 4 out of 5

Better to order more than 1 based on my experience.

Ordering an ax handle from Revain demonstrates one of the downsides of online shopping. I'm a bit worried as I've returned so many bad pens, but maybe Revain will put pressure on Seymour and other manufacturers to make better pens in the first place. Clear handles are made on a machine that prioritizes wood waste over handle quality and correct grain. Look, I'm not just going to install your pen, because that's what came off your production line. There's no point in me spending an hour or two of my time hanging an ax if you can't spend 3 minutes on your line to do proper quality control. I've ordered from another company that specializes in making wooden handles for all kinds of tools and I've only received smooth, good axes. Of course I paid them $1 more per grip to send me "selected" grips, but it was still cheaper and less of a hassle than constantly ordering new ones from Revain. That being said, when I finally got a good one, it was great. act. Fits well, excellent tight grain and finished as it should. It took me 15 minutes to hang myself. Bought another Seymour pen at the local hardware store which was also exceptionally good. But I need more consistency from QA.

Pros
  • Hammer Handle
Cons
  • Not as thick as other pickaxes
