Yesterday the temp was above 40 and I was able to get to the un-split wood that had been covered by snow. But due to the high humidity the splitter refused to start, so I decided I would try out the X25. The first hit on straight grained oak split the chunk in one hit, I was very impressed how this axe split the wood. As long as it was straight grain one hit was all it took. For knotted wood I had to work both sides to get it to split but no where near the effort using of just using a regular splitting axe.
One thing I did notice is that on some pieces of wood it would bounce back at me, nothing overly powering as long as a had a good grip, but it was noticeable. This mainly happened on knotted logs.
