Fiskars X27 (7884) where to order?

[711mhw]

Was out shopping today for the 28" Fiskars, 6 stops no luck. Decided to go to the web and order and see that they now (Fiskars) make a new model with a longer 36" handle. The short handle seems to be the only complaint that I have seen in reviews. I have not used a Fiskars only a splitting maul but mostly hyd. splitter.

I've purchased the 28" Fiskars Super splitting Axe #7854 online many times, but I haven't yet seen the 36" X27 for sale online anywhere. As of this posting, Fiskars doesn't have a "Locate Store" link on its X27 page.

Believe I recall a recent prior post on the 36". There was an indication someone contacted Friskars and was advised the 36" was not yet available for sale and that it may first be offered via Amazon, which is a big seller for Friskars. Do not recall when the new splitter was going to be available, but you can probably find the 28" at Amazon.

Sorry, my response was too inane even for me, so I've deleted it...

Does this tool replace the need for wedges?

According to some fanboys it even cures cancer. Watch it doesn't bounce back and hit you in the forehead.

This may be a really, really stupid question . . . but why are you looking for a Fiskars if you already have a hydraulic splitter . . . for the added exercise?

. . . for the added exercise?

Could be...

I don't use a hydraulic splitter just because I enjoy the exercise and it's much easier for me to split wood by hand. It's also more peaceful to split by hand vs. listen to the engine run non-stop.

I've used hydraulic splitters before and I can say that I am much more fatigued after splitting with a hydraulic splitter than I am by hand. But that's just my experience.

Wood cutting/splitting is my "getaway".

Sadly, it's 650 miles south of me right now (at my farm in MD thats still for sale) Its top on the "bring back list" for the next trip down!

Actually, it was me who posted this information.

The Fiskars rep said it would be available this month on Amazon.com. It is to be sold for $55.00.

I will absolutely buy one as the only downside to the 7854 Super Splitting Axe is the short length.

I never heard about curing cancer.. but it has been known to split and stack entirely on it's own. There is another site with an ongoing review that's close to 30 pages last time I looked...
