Title: Warning!
Product review: I try and do extensive research before i purchase any product. I did with the X27 and have seen alot of rave reviews, Today I got up and headed out to the wood pile to split a load of firewood. For the first 1/4 of a cord I can say I was very pleased with the axe. On the last log of the tree the plastic handle cracked completely in to and the splinting head flew across the yard. I am really glad it didn't kill anyone! Please consider this before you buy one of these things. A wood handle will break and splinter but the head tends to stay attached, the composite on these handles will allow the head to become a 6 pound bullet flying god knows where. I have 20+ years experience swinging a splitting maul they ALL break at some point, but you know it's coming with a wood handle and can stop before you really get hurt or worse hurt someone else. You will not know it's coming with these things. Caveat emptor!
