I've been working an 8# maul for a while now, but I'm having alot of trouble with anything over 10" wide and 12" tall and larger.
I've got some big oak rounds (25" diam) in the woods that need splitting in addition to my 2.5 cord stack.
I was thinking about getting one of those Fiskars Super Splitter splitting axes. I've seen nothing but good reviews (except for handle length, but I'm 5'5" so that's not terrible) on it, but.....I dunno. I'm just skeptical. Can a 3.5# axe really split better than an 8# maul?
When I bought my house, the previous owner left me his splitting axe (some knock-off red handled "true temper" thing) that works like garbage. To be fair, it's quite dull anyways and I'm pretty sure splitting axes need to be sharp.
Is it worth the money?
