Review on 🪓 Effortlessly Conquer Wood Chopping with the X27 Super Splitting Axe 36 Inch by Brian Rivera

You may have noticed that the description of this product says it is recommended for "higher users". As you can see from the picture, it's only 2 inches longer than other regular tools in this class. I think what Fiskars is trying to say without offending anyone is that this product is for people strong enough to own it. longer and heavier than the 4 pound snap hammer pictured at right. It's also razor sharp, unlike the other two axes in the picture. , since they each have different techniques. The Vintage links can be viewed as a blunt cleaver with a wide elliptical cross-section. She's gorgeous. Narrow and relatively light, the narrow one gets the ax through wood but is also more likely to get stuck in imperfect splits, so it's great for small logs. The cheap speed sledgehammer on the right was my favorite until my head broke. Apparently a clone of the True Temper Sledge Eye here on Revain, it's blunt and heavy with an aggressively pointed head making the ssive swing not prone to jamming, ideal for smashing large ammo. Fiskars seems to be trying to bridge the gap between these two approaches with their heavy but razor-sharp continuous wedge. It's heavy and doesn't tend to snag, but it has a narrower head. The problem I've found is splitting wood that doesn't have a straight grain. The sharp edge will get caught in the branch/piece of wood during/after splitting. Then, because of its longer, narrower head, the head wants to turn through momentum - taking your hand with it. If your arms are attached to your body, that's a problem. I think Fiskars got that because the handle is rounded and symmetrical which interferes with a good grip. I've learned to definitely keep my non-dominant hand off my toe in case she decides to rotate. In order not to break my hand, I end up having to hold it loosely, resulting in a swing similar to throwing an ax into a tree. This is where the extra weight of the Fiskars comes in handy, but you also need to lift the same weight on every swing. The Speedhammer does not have this problem. This allows me to have a firm grip and use my body weight to complete the swing. Since it's lighter, it's also much easier to overclock. I think it all depends on individual preferences. What gives it four stars is that Fiskars is solid and I don't think I'll ever worry about it, if ever.
