X25 vs X27 or Fiskars 8lb maul

[heavy hammer]

I know they say it has reduced vibration, but to what extent compared to other mauls I can't say. I know it has a great feel and you can swing all day. Unless you have one of each I couldn't tell you which is better. I just know that having the bash I will never buy another maul. Get both try them and then decide, can't hurt to have one of each.

Amazon just dropped their price on the Fiskars Maul to 55 and free shipping.

Happy Father's Day to Me!!

I know why Fiskar's dropped their price on Amazon, Wilton has their 36" 8lb maul listed on Amazin at 79.99 and free shipping.

Cmon somebody else pony up!! Father's day will be here in a couple of months

Just ordered the fiskars maul, $52.03 and free 2day shipping with prime.
I love my X27, but I just scored a big old maple this year and the X27 just bounces off

There's always going to be some stuff that calls for either sledge'n'wedge or a hydraulic splitter.

Stuff that's just big you can get with a maul if you know how. Stuff that's big and crotchy- not so much.

After some side by side testing, I'm disappointed in the iso core maul.
the maul doesn't do anything better than the X27, and it is harder on me. It takes much more effort to lift and swing it, but the results seem equal.
the only thing that made me not send it back was how nice it is for driving wedges and beating rounds off the wedge on my splitter.
Turns out this maple is so tough it will stall the splitter
