General

Usage

Pros	Cons
Fastest swing speed of any axe. Weighs less than most axes. Can be used as an effective tool for chopping down trees and breaking down doors. Not too difficult to find.	Shortest range of any axe. Deals less damage than most axes. Not as durable as most axes. Tied with the Stone Axe for lowest critical hit chance of any axe.

Chopping trees

A hand axe is a decent choice when chopping trees and collecting logs to turn into planks using a saw. It does 15 damage per swing. For comparison, a regular axe deals 35.

Breaking doors

A hand axe is a decent choice when breaking down doors. It does 20 damage per swing. For comparison, a regular axe deals 35.

Distribution

The best method of finding a hand axe is looting places like hardware stores and industrial locations such as warehouses, factories and storage units. It can also sometimes be found in garages.
Hand axes can also be found inside of barricaded buildings and carpenter's houses.
Occasionally, some zombies can be found with hand axes stuck to them.
