I'm interested in the X36: the long awaited long-handle version of the Super Splitter...

I disagree. I think that there is a safety issue here, too. Also, any extra umph I can get with it will be nice, because i'm not finding it quite as capable as some other people are claiming. the extra length should help a bit, I imagine. You can call that a mental benefit, if you like, as long as it works better for me.jlove1974 said:Once you learn how to use the 28" inch handle on an elevated surface, there's no reason to have a longer handle.
There is less control, and it's more work (leverage is greater) with no real tangible benefit except mental.

You mean the X27??
Spikem said:I went to the website from the link provided in the initial post and got into a chat with a Fiskars rep.
She told me that while it's not available yet that it should be in January, likely with Amazon as their first vendor.
She also said the MSRP would be $54.99 (which would be great).
(Interestingly, she was located in Wisconsin. I would have thought Sweden or Norway or something like that.)
ETA - It's the X27 that has the 36" handle. There is no X36.

Guess I'll buy a spare one when the old ones go on clearance.
Looks like the same head on the 28 and the 36 inch handle'd splitters.

The only people that gripe about the short handle are the people who haven't actually used one.

Bigg_Redd, I usually don't mind your posts and some are great, but this time I take issue with that post. Perhaps this time you are the one who doesn't know what he is talking about!

I have one and the short handle sucks. The only people who gripe about people who gripe about the short handles are people who probably don't know how to split wood efficiently anyway.
