Worth a tryout

Would Recommend

I had been using a Monster Maul for a number of years. Its heavy and because of the wide angle of the blade had frequent rebound. The Fiskar rebounds less and seems split as well as the heavier Maul, but doesn't get stuck like an axe. Also, the Fiskar has good balance, permanent head attachment, and shock protected handle with a good grip.

Comfortable and nice weight

Would Recommend

Comfortable handle makes swinging a breeze. Large striking area makes missing hard. Bought it to chop wood, you won’t be disappointed.

Easy splitter, stock can get damaged

Would Recommend

Easily splits new hardwood. The stock holding the axe head to the handle can be damaged if you bring it down onto the wood (which can happen with bad aim or if the wood falls toward you before you bring the axe down). But even if the stock is damaged it still holds the axe head in place.

Great tool and worth the price.

Would Recommend

Been a while since I slung a wood splitter, so it took some getting used to again. That being said, I found that this a well built tool. It didn't feel awkward in my hands and did a great job of splitting some pieces I needed broken down.

Strong axe/hammer!

Would Recommend

This splitting axe is amazing. The 8-lb weight might sound intimidating, but it actually works in your favor because you don't have to swing the axe as hard to get it to do what you need to do. Also, having a huge hammer is way more beneficial than I anticipated when I bought this axe. I used this in an unconventional manner: to help me remove bamboo roots from my yard. I was able to do the job much more quickly utilizing the splitting axe and the hammer. I didn't get anywhere near as tired usin...
