Title: Does a good job, but not magical...
Product review: Fiskars X27 36" Super Splitting Axe works about as well as my old 8 pound maul with considerably less effort. If a piece of really tough wood won't split with the big maul, guess what...it also won't split with the Fiskars. I've had a lot of experience hand splitting wood and have only rented a powered splitter once in the last ten years. This tool does a good job and I feel it is fairly priced since other mauls, axes, etc. cost about the same. I'm kinda big guy and a smaller person would find this lighter weight tool easier to swing with good speed. Do the math, speed is more important than weight simple physics tells me.
