Fiskars

[Stihl310]

After having read all the positive reviews here about the Fiskars super splitter, I decided to try one. I just recieved it yesterday and I've got to say it is one of the best purchases I have ever made. For as long as I've been cutting wood I've been using a 6-8#? maul that just flat out wears me out, and will not split anything that has any knots in it.

I was amazed to watch the Fiskars slice right through just about anything. I acutally had a pile of knotty hickory that I was going to save until I got a splitter out to my house, however I busted through about half of it in around 20 minutes. To top that, I didn't even feel like I had split any wood.

Highly, highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys hand splitting wood, it is by far the best hand tool I've ever purchased.

They are pretty amazing. Im holding out till the 37" handle version is available.

Oh yeah? Well, I'm holding out until a 38" handle is available. So there! (sticks out tongue.)

I couldn't wait and got the True Temper 4# job. Seems to work ok. Can't wait to get my hands on a real Fiskars long handle!

i bought all three 28" models but still waiting arrival.... i am inpatient..i hate waiting... fiskars should not advertise something not available yet. i got pssd off when i talked to the distributor for fiskars in MN i think??? but anyway they said i couldn't buy from them i had to use amazon or ace hardware...adding weeks to delay... i bought from feebay for forty dollars less then amazon.

good axe dont lean it up to your chopping block and throw rounds over to the chopping block , It might hit the axe handle ,flip up and bust your nose like it did mine I was lucky i got the dull end !!!!!

i have brought home a 20" tire from work to use on the chopping block instead of wrapping all round with a bungee.i saw this on you tube and seemed to work pretty good, i also like the fact it will tend to stop axe deflection on crooked hits. yes i have done that before with the axe handle hitting me....i use a round off to the side to plunge the axe in to hold it while reloading the block.:beat-up:

I had mine stuck in a piece of elm, when I jerked up/down on the handle to free it the wood was pinching it so hard it spit it out and the blunt end hit me in the lip. I hated elm then, but it's burning sooooo good I'll forgive it ..... I'm gonna get the longer handled one when they come out.

I bought mine off the internet for $33 and free shipping. I love it. You will more appreciate it after splitting for an extended period. It doesn't wear you out like a maul will.

I have definitely noticed that I don't feel the wear and tear on my body that I did with the old maul... I'm just blown away by how well the thing works, seems like I only have to swing twice as hard to do the same amount of work...
