Pros & Cons
Pros
Beautifully crafted and durable. Very well made, shipped right on time.
Well worth the splurge. Not cheap, but with proper care should last a lifetime. Will be purchasing again as a gift to someone with a winter home or cabin.
Even very hard wood splits nicely. Use the technique of circling the wood, removing flakes from the outside. It splits usa northeast hardwood as described in the advertisements.
With the catch at the end of the handle to keep it from sliding out of your hand. The axe is a comfortable weight for me and it feels good to swing, but i can't use it without gloves.
The fiskars 8lb. Axe has a longer handle than my other splitting maul. It's light weight, which is an advantage to us older, seasoned splitters. I can make several strikes on the same stubborn round where my other maul would drive deep.
Cons
You have to almost completly let go of the handle to avoid the violent action when it splits. Doesn't work nearly as well as a maul or a wedge and sledge hammer. Tried splitting pieces off the edge, aligned with the rings, or aligned with radial crack... Read More
Pitter patter. No joy. It is outrageously overpriced.
Highlights
Quality
Was very pleased with the ax for log splitting
In reading some other reviews people seemed to have an issue with the weight of the ax but in my experience it wasnt a problem at all
I didnt buy it on amazon got it at a local lowes but the product worked very well and i enjoyed using it
Price
The cost is a little steep but the results are great
The value for the price is hard to assess for others but i will say that the axe is unique and works as advertised
So i can get it done at my own pacethe downside it is way too expensive i get it that it is a unique design but the price is ... Read More
I do hope the cost on these comes down over time but i think it is worth it at the high price
Shipping
Works as good as in the video very fast shipping
99 for a electric hydraulic log splitter which is also free shipping
Competitiveness
Works with far less effort than a standard axe
A lot of reviewers hadnt actually purchased or used one but found the cost so excessive that it couldnt be worth it
Watch the utube ad it will help

Also the design prevents the head from driving too deep into the wood and sticking

Buying or renting a splitter were options but i would have had to get the thing in the back yard and if renting it would have had to work quickly to work through the huge volume of wood

I use a 12 lb monster maul for splitting large pieces by brute force going down the middle or if necessary the sides
