I am not looking back any more. I busted the Monster Maul out other day and used it compact crushed lime stone for a retaining wall, it still has a purpose. lol. plus as you can see I have a helper.

If that apparatus said "Sears Craftsman" on it I would be certain I could break it.
My neighbor has one. On his, the back of the head is embossed with wording to the effect that, should you strike a the backside of the head with something metal the warranty is waived. Makes me think that you can't use it to drive wedges - which makes it much less useful as a tool in my view.
I'm fond of my current 6lb maul. Can swing it all day without aching the next day.
It is cool to have that thing hanging around though...

It almost looks like you're sitting on the plate with your back to the camera and your kid is looking for that insurance money tricycle upgrade.
My daughter won't go near a gas powered splitter because of the noise, but she'll run the lever for a good hour or so on the little electric one.

That thing looks like it would beat the crap out of ME in no time. I have actually been doing most of my splitting with the smaller 2.5 lb Fiskars. For the tough stuff, I break out the 4.5 lb Fiskars. If that doesn't work, I either use the saw or throw it in the woods.

I just got one of those 2.5lb fiskars "Pro Splitters". I love it so much I'm trying to get another but they're out of production.

No I am sitting on a log he does work the lever for about 5 minutes. That is it for his attention span.

I think Fiskars discontinued the old line up shortly after introducing the new "X" line. I have the old Pro Splitter and Chopping Axe as well as the new X25. They all have their place (IMO) when working the wood pile and it's nice to have the right tool for the job at hand. I have seen the older Fiskars being sold on-line at higher prices than the original MSRP. You have to scour the interweb but you can still find them.

Try your local Sears. All you can get at mine is the old non X model Fiskars, with the exception of the X7 hatchet. The same axes have been sitting on the pegs for several years...no apparent sales and no restocking.
