Hi all, I was just going thru some old 4WD mags and came accross an article on lightweight Fiskars axes. They look good on the website:

Has anyone had any experience with these?

Being lightweight they'll be better for carrying. On the other hand do they lose much splitting power?

At $80 for the largest 722mm model they'd be top of the range at most hardware stores.

Cheers.

I bought one about 5 years ago to Split up my annual supply of winters firewood. I only have wood heating at home & fill a large woodshed with split gum every year.

Let me tell you I will NEVER go back to using an axe or blocksplitter. If you buy one neither will you. The Fiskars is absolutely fantastic!

Been using one for 5 years or so myself John. Great Axe. They are a little short in the handle for a bif bloke so be wary when swinging and I stand a little closer to the timber than normal. Either that or let the missus do the chopping ;-)
