Even though I trust the opinions of many of the members here, I thought a lot of the reviews on the Fiskars X27 were suspect. How could it be different or better than anything else out there? A splitting maul or ax is a pretty simple tool. Found a few at my local Wal Mart of all places and decided to try one out today for a few hours. Holy cow! On wood without a ton of knots I could outpace my hydraulic for sure, and even with the knotty stuff if I was careful and picked my strikes I could still keep up the speed. More importantly it was fun to read the wood again and good exercise.
