    Today i managed to break the head right off my x27 while trying to pop loose a few big logs from the frozen ground. I broke a few loose and then one was a bit stubborn. Gave it a few smacks with the back of the fiskars and the head flew right off. Guess i'll be giving them a buzz tomorrow

    You use that to split wood? They weigh like 29 pounds and how do you use it? Seems it would only work on red oak that splits easy. Have to stand over it like useing a t post driver. Seems like your shins would take a beating.

    oldspark, i've got one of those bars, but it was nowhere near me at the time. They do work great though.

    Well, now that I re-read the original post, it appears that fiskars was busted trying to break loose logs from frozen ground, not rounds. Either way, there appears to have been some serious hammerin' going on to bust loose some farwood, and the dang handle broke :D

    Sorry to hear it. I use a 8lb maul to bust the logs when they are frozen. The easier choice is to wait till spring although I know it's nice to get it split as early as you can once you have the time. :axe:

    Yes sorry for not answering earlier but I did not get the alert for this thread.
    Works great for rolling logs and busting loose frozen down pieces, its not bad at scraping off ice on the cement either.
