Iron Axe
The Iron Axe is the first tool that can be used to make Wooden Planks from Wood, unlocking a lot of new recipes.
Like all Iron tools, it has slightly better speed and durability than stone tools, and requires a Crafting Table to make.
It can be smelted in a Crucible to recycle 2/3 of the Iron cost, which is why experienced players will store depleted tools in the early game, which is made easier by the ability to place tools in block form by holding crtl + right clicking on an appropriate surface. Axes can be placed in any block made of Wood.
It can destroy tall grass and plants without using durability.
