The reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the paint is not holding up in our harsh Canadian winter (temperatures below -10 degrees Celcius). After only one use at the campsite the paint is already flaking/chipping off the handle portion of the product. The chipped paint does not take away from the ease of splitting wood so I look forward to using this product further in the future.
