 Dried Pine and Fur, this is wonderful. March 15, 2010

If you commit on the first swing, the job is done. If the wood is still wet (spongy) then I tend to leave it for later date however, I have stuck it hard just to see if it would be hard to remove and I found it quite easy to remove (tip and roll out). Maybe should mention I am 5' 10" and would not use a shorter handle ever again.
Bought one for my father after he tried it and others have purchased based on trying mine.

I'd heard all the good things about the Fiskars 7854 Super Splitting Axe with 28-Inch Handle and 4-1/4 Pound Head but none of my local stores had one. A few of our local stores carry the Ames True Temper splitting axe. The Ames TT seemed to be of similar design to the Fiskars--a very sharp edge for penetration with a wide, flared head for ease of splitting. They are priced nearly the same, so I bought one to try.
Absolutely hated it!!
While it feels well-built and comes with a lifetime warranty, I want a splitting axe that will split wood! The Ames TT rarely split a round on the first whack, and then the head would get stuck so bad in the top of the round that I'd have to fight with it for several minutes to get it free--only to swing it again, have it fail to split, and get stuck again!! Bottom line is that my old 8# maul split better than the Ames TT.....
By comparison my Fiskars Super Splitter almost always splits the round with one whack, and, on the rare occasion it doesn't, a simple rocking action frees the head from the round very quickly--I think this is due to both the design of the Fiskars as well as the NTFPE coating on all the Fiskars axes.
I returned the Ames TT after one day, ordered the Fiskars SS, and couldn't be happier!!! Oh, and my 8# maul is sitting in the tool shed gathering dust.......!!
