Oh I asked about going back to CSS and she said absolutely but start off slow. I pretty much started training last week on a stationary bike, when i first got on the bike 3 weeks ago i couldnt do 5 minutes on it, iv gone up to 45 minutes yesterday. Stretching and sit-ups, pushups on my knees for now and alot of therapy bands. Im very thin from not eating at all the first two weeks im 6 feet tall and usually weigh about 230 but now im at 201, 215 is a good weight for me. Iv lost a decent amount of fat and muscle in 38 days but on on my way to getting in shape. Thank you
i thought it was but when i melted the excess plastic off the head this afternoon there was no woven mesh. Some industrial strength plastic for sure. There was no threads or fibers in the actual break either.
Im 6' as well and 235ish. It is a heck of a way to lose weight. Id like to be 225. Im sure the 7th cant come fast enough! Keep up thre great rehab!
And that’s why I will by Fiskars products in the future. Even if it does break it will be easily replaced for free with no hassle. Why buy anything else?
Yeah, wielding a glued on ax head just doesn’t sound like the safest thing to me. I’d rather just spring for a new one than chance burying an ax blade that breaks loose and goes flying into someone’s forehead because I was trying to save a couple bucks.
Omg 4 days left, wife picks me up thurs am. I told her she Is going to Florida to see her friend. She”ll probably take our daughter shes 20 and away at college well not really away she dorms 45 minutes away. My son is the one who is crazy lots of energy he is five. We had our daughter when my wife was 19 and i was 23. She was an angel but my son is a whole lot different. Nuts from 7am to 8pm. She needs a break.
Thats great! Its been a long time coming for sure. There's no place like home! Maybe even a shoulder season fire? Was in the upper 60's here in Southern CT. today
I would say definitely some fires still, we are probably looking at low 30’s at night still, tomorrow night is supposed to be low 20’s. But if we are 50’s all day i wont need a fire till morning to just get a little chill out.
Wow you guys are all awesome thanks for all the positive feedback. Im enjoying the view from the solarium today gettin ready to plant seeds. Im a little late from being sick but ill still get a little jump. I even got out with my son last night and we picked up and chopped two garbage pails full of storm stuff to burn in the stove last night.
so this happened a few weeks ago. I tried to file the claim on the fiskars website, but the submit wouldn't work. I finally called the company and they told me that too many heathens had scammed them so now you have to send them the broken handle to warranty an axe or maul. I was going to get a mailing tube, but then I figured that the axe was already broken, so it didn't need to be in one piece. At the post office I saw the flat rate boxes were cheaper, so I only sent them the broken end that says X27 on it. Back in business even if the warranty cost about $8
Thats great...about the replacement. When i filed my claim and posted this thread it mentioned about taking advantage. Turned my broken handle into a pickeroon. Use it to unload truck mostly.
Seems if they lengthened that steel tang a little more deeper into the handle it would reduce breakage greatly. Then again they may have a good enough product for the average persons use and that extra cost on all axes would far outweigh the occasional warranty claims. When you're producing millions of a certain product I suppose you have to consider everything in the accounts and balances department, including percentages of stress failures while making the product cheap enough to increase sales.
It’s a great company I’m sure but if you look at the design of the thing, it looks as if Fiskars designs their tools not to fail but to be fail safe when they break. Nothing is secured like a knife tang, normally with any axe or maul, the wood or fiberglass handle is inside the metal eye so it has a greater fulcrum power but is often susceptible to cracking at that point. I haven’t read much of the comments so I’m probably reiterating on some of this but is this something that’s catching eyes?
Haha just when I post mine, this comes up. I thought the same, if there was a tang it would be less likely to fail. But maybe this is their warranty set up, as the metal and plastic fusion is designed to fail when necessary?
Glad they fixed you up. But...........................Looks like that handle took a mighty helping of hits on the handle and the axe face combatted rocks too!
