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

The metal used for the ax is undoubtedly inferior metal. While splitting 18" pieces of brown oak, green ash, and rowan, I found a small chip on the ax blade. All of the above wood is metal free and I have a deck to split all of my wood so I didn't accidentally hit the ground on the swing. All the wood I split with the X27 was also metal free. Could they be a rock or something on a piece? but I have a cool 6.5 pound sledgehammer (made in the USA) and I know for a fact that I've chopped wood with old nails and wire and I've never broken a blade. In terms of splitter performance, I've had mixed results between the Sledgehammer and the X27. I shared ammo with the X27, which I couldn't do with the sledgehammer, and vice versa. I made the comparison as fair as possible by choosing cartridges of the same diameter and type. Also, I tried chopping wood with X27 just to grab the hammer and I grabbed X27 when the hammer wasn't effective. The grip comfort of the X27 is excellent in my opinion and I had no complaints while using it. I wear gloves when sharing FYI. Will the X27 replace a good sledgehammer? Absolutely not. If you're not very strong or have low stamina the X27 is definitely for you - it swings very well and I love it. I'll say it doesn't replace the hammer and that's my opinion, but the X27 sometimes doesn't have what it takes to pierce them all. Like any other tool, it's not for everything. Is the X27 worth over $55? No, I don't think so, not even with a lifetime guarantee. If Fiskars uses higher grade steel in the ax head, I'll reconsider my opinion on the cost. Do I regret buying an X27 axe? Well, given the cost and the glaring problem with the metallurgy, I wouldn't buy it again.
