Fiskars Super Splitting Axe
The Fiskars Super Splitting Axe – 36 Inch
There’s no doubt about it; splitting logs is tough work. The last thing you need is an inferior axe making the job more difficult. The extra effort needed when using a bad axe can be exhausting.
For anyone looking for a good quality axe you will not go far wrong with the 36 inch 7884 X27 Super Splitting Axe by Fiskars.
All axes in the Fiskars X Series are designed with a range of features to help maximise performance.
The ultra sharp blade edge allows for cleaner cuts; combined with a low friction coating means the axe never gets stuck.
The handle is made from lightweight yet super strong FiberComp which is virtually indestructible so no need to worry about breaking it when really giving it some welly!
The handle acts as a shock absorber which prevents accidental overstrike damage.
The blade and the handle have been designed to create perfect weight distribution making it easier to increase your swing speed meaning your work gets completed faster.
The 36 inch handle being longer than most axes makes it the ideal choice for taller people.
For those 6 foot and over a shorter handle can be extremely awkward to use. It is just right for splitting medium to large size logs.
