Let us know how you like the maul.

What I like about the X27 is it works well and I can swing it for a long time (it is not too heavy).

You got a deal on that one! Ironically, I got mine for $12. There were $42 on Amazon, and they gave me a $30 credit to apply for their card!

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.
Yes how is the isocore after using it for a bit

Thanks, I'll stick with the X27, lighter lets me go longer and it is nice that it also doubles as an ax.

The Isocore maul isn't the wonder tool like I believe the X27 is. So far the isocore acts like a traditional maul but I do like the handle. The handle grip is outstanding and seems to eliminate most all the vibration. The poll on the back is huge for driving wedge but I haven't hit any with it yet. I would say, if I cant split it with the X27 then there's only about a 60-70% chance the isocore will split it. IMO that shouldn't be viewed as a negative on the isocore, that's a positive on the X27. Some blocks are destine to be noodled.

That's pretty well what I found also. The isocore is ok, but I still do prefer the X27, but having the both of them is nice.

Used the X27, 25 and a Husqvarna S2800 to split a couple truck loads this morning. I am so accustomed to the shorter X25 that it is my favorite . The longer 27 does seem to generate more speed and the 2800 handles really nice and makes a great all around axe\splitter. I think the 2800 does tend to stick in the wood more.

Husqvarna needs to make that splitting axe in a longer handle. Either a 32" or 36" handle. It will sell better. Short handle us no good for me. But I do like the overall axe head shape.
