You speak the truth about the fiskar. When you and Tony did the video about the x27. I ordered one and it splits like nothing ive ever used.

You’ve probably heard this 1000 times, but (a) I *love* the Fiskars X27, *BUT* (b) the Husqvarna S2800, IMO, is even *better*. Not only does it split better (esp for a 28” handle), but it’s built stronger and the head holds up better, even when I mess up and hit something I’m not supposed to. And the composite handle on the S2800 feels better for me. Just my $0.02 - love your channel!

I have a Husqvarna S2800 and a Fiskars X21. Love using the light X21 for chopping continiously. Nuttier wood I swtich to the S2800. In only a couple of cases I use a wedge and sledgehammer.

Chris, i have an X-27 and a X-7 hatchet along with a 28 inch hookeroon and a 17 inch hookeroon. the 28 inch broke about 2 inches off the tip. i contacted FISKARS and they said take a picture and send it to them. a month later, i had a new hookeroon. loved the video you and Tony did on FISKARS months ago. didn't know they had a chopping ax. thanks for sharing.

I might limb with it, but no way I'm cross cut chopping wood with that. They are a great splitter for easier rounds tho. For the big rounds I like the 6 lb maul they make. It won't wear you out as much as heavier ones and it gives you that extra mass compared to the splitting axes which really helps to bust up the big stuff.
@InTheWoodyard2 ай бұрын
yup.
@John-cj3ve3 ай бұрын
I listed the 2 1/2lb one as the X21. It (yours), and mine are the black handled versions of the X21; which isn't marketed in the States. Amazon has the actual X21 for sale @73.44. It used to be 121.00; but the price has taken a big drop for some reason.

Hard to beat the blade heavy X27 for splitting, for a wedge banger I prefer straight handled pole heavy of the rafting pattern. IMHO hard to design a hand tool that excels at both(jack of all trades master of none) when both tasks require the head to be weighted to the opposite side of the handle.
@InTheWoodyard3 ай бұрын
They do work well!
@jaredb99093 ай бұрын
The thing that scares me with the wooden handled maul is that if you take a big swing and the head breaks the energy of the hit sometimes sends the head tumbling back at you had it happen once no major injuries or anything but made me leery of wooden handles maybe just my experience though 🤷🏻♂️

@jackdawg45793 ай бұрын
I am a blacksmith, and I love fiskars hammers. I wear the handles out in about 12 months. (I wear the soft grip down) I tried replacing the fiskars handle with a wood handle, it was crap. Ruined the hammer. So I just buy a new hammer every 12 months or so. They are cheap as chips anyway, 50 bucks a throw in our local hardware stores.

I have been using the x27 for a few years now and really like it. This past weekend though I tried the Milwaukee 26” splitting axe and I have to say I like the Milwaukee better. It has a little more mass and seems to help with knotty pieces. Recommended giving one a try if you get the chance. As you said, more is the answer. Looking up the chopping axe now...
