Detailed explanation-1: -A hatchet (from the Old French hachete, a diminutive form of hache, ‘axe’ of Germanic origin) is a single-handed striking tool with a sharp blade on one side used to cut and split wood, and a hammerhead on the other side.
Detailed explanation-2: -The dual-purpose head on hammer hatchets has a flat face for striking and an axe bit for chopping. Also called roofing axes, they are commonly used in demolition, construction, and by roofers to hammer in nails and cut shingles.
Detailed explanation-3: -A hatchet is used for felling small trees, and for chopping and splitting logs.
Detailed explanation-4: -The modern axe and hatchet consist of a steel head attached to a wood or composite handle. Some hatchets are formed from a single piece of steel, such as this Estwing. The bit is what you call the sharp edge of the tool, so a double-bit axe would be sharp on both ends.
