The sappie is a useful multi-purpose tool especially for woodwork. In simple terms, it is a combination of a hammer and a reversible hook – effectively an extended arm or handle for pieces of wood.
Depending on the field of application, it is available in different designs and lengths – but its shape is always the same, because this plays an essential role. A sappie consists of a slightly curved steel tip attached to the handle at an angle of about 120° and worked out to a flat striking piece on the back.
The little helper facilitates the most diverse tasks: By lengthening its own “gripping surface”, Sappies reduce or facilitate the back, moving around and placing pieces of wood on the splitter. It also reduces the amount of force needed to lift smaller pieces of wood and grab them by hand, since the user does not have to bend down as low and can lift them with the sappie. Also, when sawing wood to size, the leverage of the sappie can raise the wood a few inches so that the second man does not hit the ground or forest path with the chainsaw while sawing.
As useful as the Sappie is, it’s easy to use: Simply hit the tip into the wood and you have the wood in your grip. Thus, a lying log can be pulled or lifted or turned with a hammered-in tip by hammering the tip under the log. By subsequently pressing forward, the sappie is then simply released again.
The EURO sappie is primarily used for turning and backing tree trunks in the forest. The EURO sappie has a 950 gram head and a fairly solid 90 cm handle made of hickory or ash wood.
The smaller hand sappies have the same design as the large EURO sappie. However, at 600 grams, the heads are significantly lighter and the handle length is available in three lengths, each in hickory or ash. The hand sappers are used for turning and backing wood in the forest. In contrast to the large EURO sappie, the hand sappies are also perfect for picking up pieces of wood to collect them after splitting without straining your back.
The Sappie splitting axe is a splitting axe with a Sappie tip on the back. This allows split logs to be picked up directly without changing tools.

When using sappies, make sure that you work with the sappie in a spreading step and that it is struck vertically into the wood to prevent injuries if the sappie slips off the wood.
The weight of the wood being moved should also never be underestimated. The leverage effect can reduce the weight enormously. Particularly snagged logs should therefore not be pulled down with the sappie, but with a rope turn.
Since a light blow is sufficient to drive the sappie into the wood, and it does not have to be lunged overhead, the sappie is a forestry tool with a rather low risk of injury when used correctly.
