Wow, Thoren, thank you so much for this Video man! I just love that improved Fireman’s axe, to function as a wood splitting maul, it’s my favorite. I can’t wait to use it one day, soon. I hope that the manufacturer listens to your advice and ideas, such as more tapered for less stoppage, and a longer handle. I think that what’s coming is very exciting, with your input help. So, thanks again. Respectfully Wishing for You & Yours an Extreme Health and Longevity, Leo

I picked up my x27 2 years ago and absolutely love it. I haven't had any issues with it other than the handle not being rigid enough when you're trying to pry the wood apart after splitting it the handle bends versus pushing the wood apart. But fantastic axe (as a novice).

I know I said it before, but my Adler Super Splitter is awesome. It's more expensive than the x27, but cheaper than the gransfors. You can get it at around $150. It's around a 6 pound head and I haven't even gotten it close to stuck in anything yet. It just splits. Love it.

Don't forget to look for good axes in garage sales. once you know what to look for you might get a great deal on a few . you may have to clean some rust maybe a new handle but could save some money (money to save up for a hydraulic splitter for when you get older.) You should do a vid going against a gas powered splitter . a small pile of logs to see the times.

So you said you had them grind down those arrow cheeks, was the bit not bitting down? I know their making 1 just for splitting rnds. Couldn't wait. Pleasantly surprised by my new 6lbs Husqvarna w/the dropping Toe. I'd like to try that 9.4lbs Simplex Maul w/the universal parts.

I think I would choose a 7 pound axe like the gransfors. And mainly work around the edges of gum trees BUT i would use a cheap 8 pound maul to split it with a wedge when I need to. That combo would be my favorite. The one you hit the wedges with, should be the cheapo one

Alternatively, if you are just trying to stay warm over the winter and not looking for a workout, you can look at manual or electric hydraulic splitters.
