Looks exactly the same. Someone had mentioned that they changed the handle color a while back.

I would guess that they are updating the product line and that's the new one.
 
seems like they will loose a lot of the product recognition by dropping the x?? label?
 
I thought the X27 was the longer handled version of the original, IIRC there has been alot of discussion about the original causing misses and nearly taking out toes.
 
Thought the shorter version was called the X25
 
Looks maybe cheaper painted face vs a coated on on the x27?? Probably made for a cheaper price point on amazon and walmart etc?
 
Perhaps.

I need to get another. I left my short one (whatever it was, before the X25) at the lake last week, so I need one at home. I saw the black one at Farm & Home a couple of weeks ago for $50.

I'll write a review :p
 
Part of the good part of the discard is its light weight.
 
Head looks same and there both 36"s??
 
Done, you talked me into it ;)

Time to see what all the fuss is about with these things. I've always used 6-12lb mauls since I was old enough to swing them, curious to see how this baby does.
 
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the lack of weight, and speed you can achieve with little effort.

Let us know what you think....If you don't like it I'll buy it from 'ya!

I finally went to Ace Hardware and bought one last weekend. They had one model called "splitting ax" It has a 36" handle, but doesn't correspond to anything on their website. I thought I got the longest one as I am tall. It does work very good.
 
I think there is a new some that amazon carried that is the same as the longest one but is a different color. Maybe the same
 
I haven't touched my 6 or 8 lb maul since I bought the x27
 
I havent used my maul since I got the x27 at christmas either
 
I just bought the X27 last week and I LOVE it. For any ladies wanting a review, it is a dream to split wood with. I don't have a lot of upper body strength (or lower body for that matter), but was able to split a large pile of mixed wood with minimal effort. I liked the light weight and the curve on the end of the handle for a better grip. I was actually a little disappointed when I finished, and there was nothing left to split lol.

Bought the X27 on sale a year ago and just put it on the shelf since I use the hydro. Had some XXL red oak rounds down on the driveway that needed to get smaller to move'em up the hill to the house. Thought what the heck and took the X27 down. Wow! Where was this thing back when I was hand splitting everything?
