I have the X25, X7 and like them. Recently picked up this X17 axe and it is sweet for plastic wedges and regular light axe work.
Last pic is of my brother's X27, just broke apart one cold day last winter on a piece of Oak. They promptly sent a new one...no complaints.IMG_20141123_202646_390.jpg IMG_20150327_183304_998.jpg CIMG2199.JPG

I like the one that you push the lever (and makes a little noise) better it's much easier for me to use :p

Agree, 1) Wood Splitter, 2) plastic wedge pounder, 3) Works like an axe when needed (cutting stringies in the middle of big pieces that the hydro splitter can't reach), etc.

I really like the X27,I can leave it in the truck for several blistering hot days with no handle loosening,unlike my axes.
ps G'day Mike!

Will be very interesting to see how it compares. Frankly, what I like about the splitting Axe (X27), is that the light weight lets me keep using it a lot longer than a maul, plus it slits even better (no downside).

But I have yet to try the one you are referencing.

I have an X27 and the older Super Splitter (previous version of X25). I wish I could take the head from the SS and place it on the longer handle of the X27 then it would be the best of the best. Not sure why Fiskars changed the head around when they went to the "X" series, the original worked better! It had a narrower bit so the striking force was more concentrated and a more pronounced flare on the cheek that really threw the splits apart.

However, the X27 is a great tool and I prefer it due to it's longer handle.

I took these pics from TreePointer on Hearth.com.

I just bought the new ISOCORE #8 and it will finish off what the X27 can't. I needed a new maul as the fibreglass handle on my old Mastercraft 8 lb broke so I indulged myself. Works very well as a fairly inexpensive splitting maul.

I'm buying a Fiskars isocore 8# maul. I just need something with more @ss when I get into the 28" rounds and larger. Plus my blocks are 18-22" long. That's about the working limit for the X27 especially if you get a knot. Otherwise I love the X27.
