Review: Even I was surprised by Fiskars 8lb Splitting Maul! - I purchased this Fiskars 8lb splitting maul for my husband back in February of 2021. My husband was skeptical at first. He's a concrete worker but in the off season he sells firewood. As a result he has used a lot of splitting mauls. So when he heard me turning into a Fiskars salesman hyping it up because I was proud of my confident decision to buy him one, he was concerned I had gotten brainwashed by some Fiskars ad. The look on his face when it arrived and he was about to swing it said he was ready to show me I had probably made a dumb decision because what would I know about what he needs for splitting wood. Swing after swing with this maul his face slowly changed. He never actually admitted to me that it is a good maul. I overheard him telling one of his firewood customers that it's the best maul he's ever split wood with. It's durability is amazing! It works so good that splitting wood became my new favorite cardio exercise. You want to strengthen your core? Swinging an 8lb Fiskars splitting maul at some dry seasoned oak not only burns the same calories as HIIT or Rucking (about 400 to 700 calories per hour) but watching the wood split is oddly satisfying and it's a good side hustle. In fact, we both like this maul so much that two years ago (it's now December 13, 2025) we started actually having little spats over who got to use it. So, I'm buying myself one because... "YES! It works that good." I just realized when I purchased the one I bought him I never wrote a review for it and people need to know how good the Fiskars 8lb splitting maul is and who could have guessed it would turn wood splitting into being my favorite form of exercise. And at 700 calories per hour whew, it's worth learning how to split wood with it for me. He can wield the chainsaw until my new Fiskars maul comes in the mail.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Mine broke while splitting oak. the links to fiskars' "warranty contact" and the "general contact" don't work.  how can i get warranty help?**
A: I contacted Fiskars via phone and uploaded photos of the damaged blade. They sent a new one out right away! Start your claim here: http://www2.fiskars.com/Customer-Service/Warranty-Claim-Form

**Q: Is this a good axe to fell medium to larger diameter trees?**
A: It is NOT an axe but a wood splitting maul( blockbuster in Aussie speech). To fell a tree you would be much better off with a chainsaw. A purpose built felling axe such as a Plumb, Kelly, Gilpin, Gransfors is the alternative but you would need to be very skilled and fit to use one No doubt Fiskars would manufacture good felling axes but the Iso Core is not suitable for felling.

**Q: How does it compare to the popular fiskar x27?**
A: It's a different altogether. I own both and the maul is a heavy beast! I like that that 8 lb maul's Iso Core handle absorbs vibration much better than the X27mif the wood you are trying to split is tough like twisted elm and you need repeated strikes. The X27 is a shorter and it is a much lighter axe(not a maul) to swing making it great for splitting straight grained wood. The 8 lb maul is great for splitting large rounds it is my favorite maul for heavy splitting.

**Q: 36 inches is very short, is it not?**
A: No.  Swinging a metal and fiberglass yard-stick is not as easy as you would think.
