Noticed there hasn't been a new thread in a few days, discuss:msp_smile:
I just got into wood burning/hoarding/splitting last winter. I started off reading these threads, ended up with two X27's and a X7. Was having fun for a while, trying to get a few years ahead with the wood. Was going good although slow, ended up buying a Huskee 22 ton splitter. Sure helped me catch up this summer, would have died out in this heat swinging the ax. I just started working on year #3 for my splits. Once the cold weather comes back around I plan on breaking out the X27 again for some exercise. Until then the splitter will have to do in this heat! :bulgy-eyes:I use mine once and a while, its hard to not use the splitter.
However it's not to say the x27 is bad, but for the big rounds at home with a splitting block I will use the Wetterlings.

Fiskars x27 is over rated (JMO)

My X27 hasn't had any use since I got a wetterlings Splitting maul.

Any love for the Fiskars shovel? Thinking about getting a new shovel, does this one do most of the work for me? Cut through the dirt like butter? :hmm3grin2orange:
Why lift the round onto a splitting block? Just turn it to the flat side n split it!
I don't want to drive the wood into the ground. It's so wet here with winter rains that I dropped a steel star picket a metre over a retaining wall and it went a foot into the ground.
Also a better working height and my rounds are also racked. Also contains the mess and saves the grass and weeds.
Is there anything left to discuss concerning the X27?
