Husqvarna Splitting Axe

I do I am a manage a husqvarna dealership. I just haven't ordered any. We don't sell many splitting tools. I thought about getting the s 2400 that way if I liked it is could use it as a fellers axe for driving wedges and such.

 

Be interested to hear. I don't have any experience with that model but from what I hear they are pretty good.

 

Sanded the handle a bit and trying some Watco teak oil. See how that works. I hope I am not disappointed. I have really had good results with my equal parts blo, beeswax, and turpentine.

 

Was there something wrong with the factory finish? Or you just wanted something different?

 

They come needing a good oiling. The handles also could use a quick sanding. Or at least that is my preference. They are just fine to use as they come. I just like putting my Finnish on any handle.

 

What do you do with the end of your cord when doing a wrap like that?

Tuck it lol

 

Hey CoreyB,

I hadn't been on here much since spring but have been getting back on. Also I'm back thinking about this axe, I never bought one. How have you liked using it since you've had it for awhile?

I like the wrap that you put on yours

Thanks

 

I will be honest I have not had a lot of time to use it a whole lot.
From the use I have. It did take a bit for me to get used to. It needs a bit more snap and commitment if that makes sense. Sense it doesn't have the weight. On the other side you can get a really great snap and on straight grain stuff it is great. On gnarly or stringy crap you can feel the lack of weight. But I think if a guy spent a season with it he would find it to be a great splitter. If you where close I would just lend it to you . Lol. But if you make the trip over here I will give you tons of wood to try it on and Ser if it is right for you. Lol and of not I have a whole collection you can test and find your perfect match. Lol

 

Yeah, I have a couple mauls and two Fiskars but I have been looking at these now and then. How good does the Husky maul work?

 

The maul is great. By far quickly became my favorite go to splitting tool.
It fits my needs, very well and I would replace it imidiatly if I where to ever lose or break it.
If you have a fiskars, I don't feel the large splitting axe would perform much better all around other then not blowing the wood as far out. You can just slice pieces off with the axe and the round stays put. This takes a bit of a snap and a flick if that makes sense.

 

So, do think the Husky maul is better than Fiskars?

 

For me yes , for my wife no. I like the extra mass and I prefer a hickory handle vs composite as well. I use the fiskars often as it is the only one my wife will grab lol. It is a very functional splitter but a still prefer the husqvarna maul. The e,tra mass but still not overly heavy to swing for awhile and still get a good snap.

 

You are a bad influence!

 

I decided on the splitting maul. I haven't used a lot but I do like it. I used it on some oak and walnut and it works really well. I have some other rounds, not sure what type of wood but it didn't do well on that. It would just stick but none used my other axes or mauls did any better in it. I'll get the splitter out for that.

 

I have some elm that nothing splits well. I use the chainsaw to noodle them. But in oak the Husqvarna maul rocks. Even the knotty ones.

 

I've been using a Husqvarna splitting maul for about a year now. In my old life, I had to spend a few hours using a hydraulic splitter each fall. Sometimes the maul feels like less work. Also have their forest axe and hatchet. Very fond of all three.

 

I have a favor to axe of those who own the 30” splitting axe- dimensions of the poll please and thanks.

 

Does Husky Stihl make that orange handled axe/maul?
