Comparison between Fiskars 8lb Maul and Fiskars Super Splitting Axe.

Check out my newest wood chopping video here: https://youtu.be/OQQj5P51pS0 This is the hardest oak to chop ever!

Love how he threw his phone to not break it 😂😂😂😂

The sound he made when hitting the log is beautiful, this is gonna be my meditate soundstrack

I use the fiskars x27 xxl to splitting 1 meter high and 60 cm diameter ash log and do the job no problem ! Love this splitting axe !

Been busting firewood 4 decades. I have the fiscars 8lb maul. The way it absorbs a lot of the vibration is amazing. Way better than my axes & regular 6lb maul. Saves a lot of time. I have always followed windcracks side 2 side, splitting n half until I get down 2 the size I want. Other than a knot or few slowing me down I usually make short work of it with the big maul, green or dry. Love these videos by the way.

Great video! Clear camera. Good sound. Answered my questions.

I think you’ve set the round too high. If it were lower to the ground, you’d have more power from gravity.

I worked for Gerber a sister branch of fiskars and will confirm that these are some kick ass splitters...

This was useful. I’ve been splitting with the axe but when it bounced, I figured the wood needs more drying time. (This happened with cotton wood.) Seeing you bounce it yet have success splitting tells me bouncing happens. I’m going to add the Fiskars maul to my arsenal. (Love the axe). Thanks.

Nice comparison! I recently bought that Fiskars maul, great tool. I also have the Fiskars splitting ax, another great tool & time saver. I did videos on these plus a Harbor Freight maul that I used for the last seven years. When I'm splitting for the day if I do not see any cracks in the round after 2 or 3 hits I go to the wedge & slug hammer. After the first split it is easier for the maul or ax just like in your video. Plus it saves a little on the edge. The metal on the ax seems to get pretty beat up easily. Nothing a quick few passes with a stone or file depending on how much has to be done. Stay safe, Joe Z

Good comparison. For rounds that big I personally start with a wedge, but for the purpose of comparison it was excellent.

Nice thank you so much for uploading this video. You really brought some insight on what I was looking for and deciding about whether to invest in a maul or an axe. I don't know how to appreciate and show you my appreciation, thanks for sharing.

Great vid, thanks for posting. Watch your toes in those trainers. Steel toecaps a must when swinging with that force. It takes one overswing and that's your foot gone.

being an ax man it was neat to see that good split as your round was broken further down, but a lot fewer strokes with the maul in the beginning. Thanks!

One of the few people I've seen that know how to hand split big tough hardwood. You hit right on the edge of the wood, not in the center where its strongest. Hit one edge a couple times, then sight directly across to the other side and hit it. Itll break apart. Good job sir

Cool video. I just bought the maul and im glad I did becausw ut has the sledge hammer as well. Thanks for tips...

That's right Jack. Actually after checking it is a 4 1/2 lb. maul I use as a wedge. Picked it up from Tractor Supply. Works well.

I have a Fiskars splitting axe and I recommend it. I had a big tree down this fall (big birch, three foot diameter, big limb broke off in a storm in September, so I had the rest cut down in October.) I've used a maul but I prefer an axe. It's not about how many times you swing the axe but how much effort each swing takes.

This is incredible.

I love the vid and I just subscribed
