Forgot to ask, which model & length of Fiskars axe are you using in this video? thanks-

[akkamaan]

@YellowMetalDriver 28" handle, model#7854, 4.25lbs head....Fiskars have re-designed it this year and it is now called X25, head is slightly different, no biggie but I wont trade my 7854 for X25....try to get a 78854, they are on sale if available....see top one on this Google search "fiskars 7854"....22$

Thank you for the great idea of the bungee/tie around the logs... SO much better than wrestling a tire and such. I am getting back into splitting but have a herniated disc in L5 so I am considering retiring my 16LB splitting maul. Looking at your Fiskars that seems a lot lighter and does a very good job. Have you been happy with it?  Has it retained its edge? Thanks-

@YellowMetalDriver the Fiskars super splitter is still the best you can get...I am super happy with it...btw it is called X25 at the store today

The name of the music please or am I just blind?

Thank you for the info. I also appreciate the GREAT idea of the bungee. I used to (and still have) my 16lb maul but with back problems I am looking for a lighter alternative. Your use of the bungee is phenomenal and I placed my order for the new X27 last night. Thanks again for the post!

That Fiskars splitting maul looks like a quality tool. Something built that stoutly lets you quit worrying about breaking the handle on an overstrike. I gave up on maul splitting some years back though. My gas-powered hydraulic splitter is probably a little slower, but it's relentless. I can fill my big o' honkin' 8X12 truckbed in about four hours at a lazy pace. Great video!
