They have them for 40.00 and free shipping right now-just checked.

Well that's only $9 better than my TSC.

Go ahead and buy one on amazon and send me the $9 finders fee. Since you don't need it and all.
Amazon is cheaper by $20 - and if the conditions are right, you can get free shipping.
Well, actually I purchased mine online sometime back, because no one local sold that model. I was merely interjecting that $9 is not the $20 mentioned previously... but for $9 I will gladly keep my local economy running vs. some online retailer.

Ok, you win.
Except that if spending money at TSC has diddly to do with a local economy - perhaps I need a local economy lesson. I, like you apparently, shop online because often I can find a better price. Be it $9 or $20 - the local economy of my personal bank account prefers that I keep the money rather than spend it. Oh, and where I live, my TSC won't bring the Fiskars right to my front door.
OMG! I found one. Only on the big trunks did it not work well. stay tuned... and it looks so sexy with a Stihl or Husky.
I bought a X27 about a month ago and finally used it to split a PU load of black locust. Impressive for sure. The edge will cut paper like a sharp knife. Im majorly impressed how well the sharp edge holds up. I bought the sharpener for the heck of it but aint used it yet. Im gonna go get the short one at wally world just to have another, think there about $39 for the X25, might help with my over striking.

Didn't realize those iphones took such nice video. Nice work on those rather tall looking rounds
I've been kinda a unbeliever about this but after seeing those vid's I'm heading down town to pick up a X27 this morning :msp_smile:

You'll like it most likely! Just be careful and learn from other's initial mistakes, including me, dang I came this close to whacking my foot. Blew through a round, axe kept coming and whizzed right by. Yikes! Went to inside a tire right then! It is lightweight and *very* sharp. You don't need a normal off to the side swing like with a maul, straight up and down is better (and much faster once you get in the groove). WATCH OVER SWING. That sucker'll take yer..whatever it hits clean off. Split on a clean block, not the ground, to save the edge and stop it there, and split inside a tire if you can. Besides that have fun and pics or it didn't happen!
