Hope you all got some good deals on splitting tools.
I'll have to try one of those Fiskars one day.
Im still using old Blackie (True Temper) and Stanley maul.

No sooner did I get all my Poplar split and bagged and advertised on Kijiji, and one guy came and bought 5 bags for a party and then today the other 50 bags were taken by another guy.
All gone now and a little change in my pocket.
I may just have to try that again. Lord knows I have a lot of pellet bags every year and I can scrounge all the Poplar, White Birch, Spruce and Pine I want around here.

Not sure if this includes the splitting mauls . . . .

Yep. It does.
I'm checking out their website now.....
ETA - Hmmmmmm......Looks like this thing has mixed reviews. Although having to redo the edge that it comes with and not real good customer service from Wilton seems common.
Would altering the edge void the warranty? Would think not but you never know.Yep. It does.

Has anybody else tried the new husky splitting axes with the composite handle yet?
With a lack of opinions available on here, I ordered a Husqvarna S2800 last night. I have a few cords to do this fall so will report performance vs both Fiskars and traditional tools.

@mdavlee has a youtube video of him demonstrating how well it does.
Maybe he will chime in. From what I remember, he really likes it.
I contacted Gardena (The turquoise model) about having a 36" model and they said that one was not in the near future. Serious bummer. I could care less if it was turquoise or orange I just want a 36".
I can't see you not liking it. Congrats on the purchase and keep us posted.
Invented by a young girl in New Zealand, as I recall.

Here's a video of it.
That's shown itself here a few times. I think consensus is it won't hold up unless you are using straight grained softwood.
My kindlin kracker LOL
But the idea has merit. It is taking the debate about wedges on log splitters (mounted on end of cylinder or end of beam) to manual splitting.
How about a beefed up, and scaled up version, say for green rounds up to 16 inches diameter? Line it up, and you know where your split will be. Of course it will not work with all wood, or with crotches, etc.

(PS - posted it 'cause it was displayed at the State Fair. NT claimed to have exclusive US distribution rights).
Well my Husky S2800 has been sitting at my house since yesterday morning and I won't get to use it until at least Saturday. Anxious to see if preliminary reports are repeatable.
Baileys had these on their Labor Day sale, so I figured Id pull the pin...

I really like the looks of the Big Ox. Debating that or a European fiskars after I'm done testing the S2800
I am feeling some splitting tool envy over here.
Waiting to hear a report on the s2800, too.
Murphy never fails to let me down.
Today I scored what I think is a good deal on a splitter off Craigslist.
