Fiskars X27 vs Husqvarna S2800

[zogger]

Getting one of them 8# IsoCore fiskars next week, cheaper than the Husky 2800 and has a longer handle.

Hope it works !!!!

Hope it works, taken a year off splitting to let my blown out elbow heal. I've done a few swings obviously but have not been splitting for quantity.

I called on mine today, the system on their computer shows four back ordered.

I keep getting advertisements for it. The websites know what you shop for and make "suggestions" based on that.

Absolutely. Right after I buy something on line I get inundated by ads for that thing. If they responded quicker they could actually show me an ad for something I still want.

If you are referring to the maul, True Value seems to have the first batch. Every online ad I see links me back to them.

 

[redoakneck]

I don't think they have hit the the stores here yet, not even sure if they are in the warehouse yet???

Not sure which you are asking about now!

I have 2 Fiskars chopping axes, and 2 Fiskars splitting mauls. I use and like all of these:

I tried the Fiskars hatchet, and did not really have a use for it personally, but ended up buying 4 more for some other folks to use. So I have had the opportunity to purchase a few over the years, and to keep an eye out for where they are sold.

Have not had the opportunity to try the new Husqvarna / Gardena axes:
