They're not actually fibreglass, it's plastic coated with a steel core. Splitting a few cubes of Australian hardwood a year, i was going through 2 to 3 splitters. I bought one of these fiskars and its kept on splitting for the last 2.5 years, super impressed.

If you go to fiskars website and look at the product description it is not steel. It is a proprietary material called fibercomp “Shock-absorbing FiberComp® handle is lightweight yet stronger than steel to prevent overstrike damage”

As someone who knows nothing about splitting wood, I can verify this man is spot on!

Was that supposed to be humor?

I used one of these this year and I like it. For the past 45 years I have used a splitting maul that I hand made so that is all I can compare it to. 70 years old and still swinging.

I remember an old timer I used to work for. Not a big strong powerful man but a smart man. He studied each chunk of wood he was about to split. He was accurate and precise, he didn’t swing hard. He was a master wood splitter and fun to watch.

I've had that exact maul for 7 years and I've split several thousand pieces with it.. lights out. I leave it outside year round, barely a speck of rust. Workhorse/beast. Paid for itself x 10 already and no signs of slowing down. I'd give it 9.5/10. Plastic guard below maul itself cracks off after about a month

Fibreglass handles > wood handles as far as I am concerned. Especially for a maul. I will say though, wood handles look way better and feel better on naked hands. But if you are chopping wood daily, the reliability, low care concern, and lower weight of a fibreglass handle can't be argued with. Surprises me that you find wood handles to vibrate less. I find fibreglass and composite handles much better at handling vibration. Of course, I don't usually chop my big rounds through the middle, because I am not a social influencer, so I can see why we would have a difference of opinion on the matter. Aesthetics are important when your occupation relies on them, don't get me wrong. Anyway, I really enjoy your wood chopping videos. Keep up the good work.

I ended up buying one years ago because I kept breaking handles on box store mauls, and fiskars had a lifetime warranty. So far, I haven't broken it yet, but my wood splitting has decreased dramatically.

Beast mode: ON! 💪 💪 💪

I love ur videos 😍 it's so fun to watch 😅

I've split many cords with that one and the X27. It's a great maul, but I found that the rubber grip comes apart and creates blisters on the inside of your thumb after hours of use. Happy chopping.

That’s beautiful powerful to the max

Been splitting firewood of all types with this exact maul for 6 years now. It's held up beautifully and has always done exactly what I need it to.

I've got this bad boy. Love it. Split two cords of eucalyptus last year with it. My wife also loves it.

Fiskars also makes a 6lb maul - me likey 😊 best mauls for the $$$ hands down !

Yeah I picked up an 8lb and I was like ehhh I’m a strong fuckin dude but that shit would get tiring. This dude in the video is just an animal. Absolute hulk. Picked up the 6lb and fell in love. Way more power than the x27 but won’t tire you out like the 8lb. Guy in video is something else. Im 100% straight but prob like 99% now.

I own one, and it works great. I haven't broken a handle yet vrs my wood handle axes . I probably break about 2 or 3 per year . It has a great wedge design for splitting, and you can pound the hell out of it on the back side without any issues

Used this to split Texas Hill Country Live Oak. If the middle doesn't spread for you, slab it out from the edges. Love this maul except the same thing mentioned: vibrations make your hand tingle after a while.

I've been using the 6 lb isocore. Little bit lighter but you can swing it faster and raise it much easier. For us mortals that makes a difference, lol.

The Fiskars axes are made where I am from in Finland. Yes I am biased, we have probably 10 dofferent Fiskars axes, some over 20 years old, and this handle will not break on you. I am also for wooden handles, because of tradition, but I hear people say these handles "will break" noup they wont.

The one complain I do have to some "versions" is that their steel has at times been much too hard for some types of wood, which can lead to spliting of the edge. But this has been rare and I think Fiskars will replace these axes as well.if you find Fiskars kitchen scissors, you MUST buy it, these are the absolut must have in a kitchen, and also what made Fiskars famous.

Im thinking of trying a Wilton b.a.s.h splitting maul just because i absolutely love their sledgehammers. They have a some form of rubber handle with a 4 steel cable core. The sledge hammers seem to not transmit the shock back to the user so id be curious whether holds true for the maul as well.

Hey, just wondering, do you have any videos of axe brands you would recommend? I’ve been searching for some time now. Nice video by the way.

Fiskars have a Guarantee for Life! Use that as much as you can and don’t worry if they break/when they break as Fiskars customer service are great at replacing if they do.

I just replaced the fiberglass handle on my 4.5lb husky with hickory and it’s a few inches longer but let me tell you the before and after had me blown away. I’ll never buy a fiberglass handle again let alone use one.

I’ve been using that same Fiskars Maul for around 3 years . It’s handled more abuse than any go devil / maul I’ve used in the 30 + years of splitting wood by hand

FINALLY a video of a real man. When guys think they're girls is so 🤨🙄😒 Thank you for some refreshing vidoes. Id love to buy an axe too but i need to watch more of your vidoes to find a fit for me 😄 Thank you sir

I was just looking at one of these.. all my work hammers are fiskar so shopping for a splitter I almost impulse bought it.. but now I need to know what's up with fiberglass handles.. what do you recommend instead and where do I buy?

Let's not forget you are skilled at this! The axe cannot split logs on it's own.

I moved from Upstate NY to Arizona 18 years ago, just finished my new home and I have a wood burning fireplace insert now. I am back in the wood cutting and splitting business now, I figure about 5 cords should do me for this winter to supplement the gas furnace. I was looking a another splitting wedge those all metal mauls with the big 12 lb triangle shaped heads. how do these axe looking mauls compare. I did just buy a small chainsaw, a Stihl Farmboss, that should be more than enough for my wood cutting now, I'm not doing 40+ cords a year anymore.

Bro, if you started a whiskey company, it would work out for sure. Hats off to the beard, my friend. Nice

It did pretty good❤

I love your video ❤

*Question:* Have you ever split a log that had a large logging bolt inside it yet? If so, how difficult was it to chop?

Beast mode

Nice job

Splitting wood is actually pretty therapeutic

I like the vid brother been on the fence about this but I’m actually interested in your suspenders lol, does anyone know what brand they are? I can’t find a good pair anywhere. I’d appreciate any info on em’ cheers!

Imagine hanging out with this guy. So what do you wanna do? Ride dirt bikes? Go fishing maybe bowling. Nah man lets chop wood again.

What’s a good axe for just chopping down trees ?? I’m clearing brush from my backyard and there’s a lot of trees back there that I’ve been hacking away with at with an 8lb Home Depot axe and a Walmart hatchet

Hey Thoren, how do you sharpen or do you even recommend sharpening a maul?

Have you tried the x27, they're slightly smaller but still splitter. powers through Australian Hardwood

Have you reviewed the Stihl splitting axe yet? Or how about the Helko Tasmania? I know that's not a traditional splitting axe, but people use them for light splitting.

I'll make a video showing what I mean. You can see it when you bend the handles. The wood maintains more ridgidity and I like that for splitting waay better.

Fiskars is a Finnish brand. Fun fact, the last official human execution in Finland was a decapitation using an axe.

You might want to review a pile-shaft manual log splitter …. With the right photo on the front and use the innuendo a little and you could get a whole lotta likes from any admirers!

I use that maul and the x27 exclusively.

The one nice thing about it being a replaceable handle is you can always pull off the fiberglass one and replace it with your own homemade wood one..

Hey man where do you buy your work trousers?

Would a wood handle bring the rating up?

Nice video 👍 I have same axe(and many other fiskars axe). In Finland that axe name is "building axe" i dont know why it have that selling name in Finland 🤔

I love my fiskars maul. But my x27 is light enough for all day swinging, yet strong enough to make it light work of wood. I’d love to see you split gum, we have a ton of that here in va and it’s a fucking ass kicker man.

I got an eight pound clone from princess auto and it actually has an eye on the head. So I'm gonna go buy a stave of Hickory and make a handle for her

I almost bought this exact maul. I went on Amazon and saw the Eastwing splitting “axe” with an 8lb head and it was $40…. And the 6.5 Eastwing splitting axe was $56. And they both came with a wooden handle. Not sure if you have used either of those or not but it has been a heck of a splitter for me. Thanks for the content!

Eastwing is usually a reliable brand. Doing siding/ roofing and masonry I’ve always bought their more expensive hammers and they have lasted me years. Downside is yes you are paying for the brand when it comes to anything they sell

What gell do you u use?

Another drawback to fiberglass handles: Is after some use, mis-hits, the fine outer layers of fiberglass splinter away. Which inevitability get stuck in your hands. And anyone who has had to remove a fiberglass sliver. Knows just how painful/frustrating it can be. Nearly invisible, extremely brittle, and doesn't fester out like wood slivers do. My Vaughn framing hammer has a fiberglass handle. Only drawback to an otherwise pristine tool.

There would not be a more fitting name than *bradley* for this man.

Be a good executioner this guy.

Do you prefer a wood handle?

For a beginner I think fiskars is pretty good to start with. I like the weight and design of them despite the handle material. I have a maul, slotting axe and hatchet. Reasonably priced too.
