What is special about the Helko Vario Line?

The Vario Line was developed by Helko Werk as an innovative system solution to offer maximum flexibility and efficiency in woodworking.
Each axe consists of modular components: head, handle and fastening elements can be combined as desired and replaced individually if necessary.
The system is ideal for users who want to combine several tools in a modular concept – durable, practical and precisely manufactured in Germany.

How does the Vario mounting system work?

The Vario system uses a screwed connection: The axe head is guided through the handle with two hexagonal screws and secured on the back with a steel plate.
An integrated steel handle protector protects the front of the connection and prevents damage to the wooden handle – both from the front and the side.
The connection is designed to offer maximum stability and can be easily released if necessary. A suitable Allen key (hex key) is included with each axe.

What variants and combinations does the Vario Line offer?

The system currently includes five different axe heads and three handle lengths, which can be freely combined.
This makes it possible to assemble the ideal tool for almost any application – from splitting to precise forestry work.
All components – axe heads, handles, screws, back plates and handle protectors – are of course available individually as spare parts , so that each axe can be easily adapted or repaired if necessary.

What materials are used in the Vario Line?

The axe heads are made of high-quality C50 carbon steel , which is known for its hardness and toughness.
The handles are made from carefully selected American hickory wood – vibration-damping, robust and durable.
All metal parts are precision manufactured, galvanized and corrosion-protected to meet the high demands of daily use.

Who is the Helko Vario Line suitable for?

The Vario Line is aimed at users who regularly split wood or work in forestry and are looking for a tool with maximum functionality.
It is ideal for users who value efficiency, modular adaptability, and technical design.
Thanks to the interchangeable components, the Vario Line is not only versatile but also particularly sustainable – it reduces wear, saves resources and extends the service life of each tool.
