The Tempered Iron Axe is the axe of Ala Industrial's tempered iron tool line, a hardened steel-like woodcutting tool that chops faster and lasts longer than a vanilla iron axe. It mines wood at speed 7.0 (iron: 6.0), survives 350 uses (iron: 250), and deals 9.5 attack damage — 0.5 more than an iron axe — at the same attack speed of 0.9. Like every tool of the line, the Tempered Iron Axe catches enchantments a little better (enchantability 16, up from iron's 14) and never touches the mod's EU system: it is a plain hand tool that wears down through ordinary use.

In play, the Tempered Iron Axe behaves exactly like a vanilla axe: it strips bark from logs, lights wood on a right-click, and breaks wooden blocks faster than other tools. Its mining level stays iron, so diamond ore, obsidian, and ancient debris drop nothing under it. As a weapon the Tempered Iron Axe hits harder per swing (9.5) than the Tempered Iron Sword (6.5) but swings at 0.9 instead of 1.6, so the sword keeps the higher damage over time. Craft it on a workbench from three tempered iron ingots and two sticks — tempered iron is smelted 1:1 from iron ingots — enchant it with Efficiency, Unbreaking, Fortune, Silk Touch, or Mending, and repair it at an anvil with a single ingot.
