Review on Fiskars X25 Splitting Axe: 28-Inch Length for Superior Splitting Power by Randy Washington

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Splits wood like a mechanical splitter

I will update once I have my 5 cords ready for this winter. The first blow after getting this ax I split a 20 x 8 inch pine log that was very dense and had no cracks or fissures beforehand. This ax easily shreds logs with minimal effort. I went through 5 test reports right away. I'm 6'0", 130 lbs. my height and it's still easy for my wife who is 5ft 9" to use. Unless I've split trunks denser than pine down to 28" Wise. I've seen a Husqy Rancher and this ax and I'll be making and laying 5 cords a week in the mornings (2-3 hours a day) you don't hit the ground. Of course that doesn't help when there's metal embedded in the wood, but it works like magic for the vast majority of the cleaving jobs you need to do.

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Exterior
