REVIEW: Field Testing the 36” Fiskars 8lb IsoCore Splitting Maul

Picked up this 36" 8lb Fiskars Splitting Maul to replace my cheaper maul that wore out and broke. This is an 8lb head. Price varies but around $55-70. All in all, during the initial field testing, I am concluding thus far the splitting maul is doing what it says it will - splitting big pieces of wood (and for hammer uses of the maul) as well as seems to reduce overall shock compared to older mauls that I have used.

Finally a guy that talks about chipping pieces off a round

It taken some friendly ribbing from my buddies because I’ve switched to Fiskar for a lot of my chopping, trimming and splitting duties. Mainly because of the shock absorbing the tool takes instead of your arms and shoulder

Just bought the exact same maul today, can’t wait to get home and try it!

[stevenbrown]

Most mauls turn sideways when you hot wood, twisting your wrist. This one seems to go in straight

Nářadí Fiskars je opravdu kvalitní-doporučuji je všem!

After swings axes for over 30 yrs . Just once in my life I'd like to just walk outside and see a mountain of split wood. With out lifting a finger.

Temperature has alot to do with if wood will split....frozen rounds want to split because the grain is expanded

[johnduffy]

Loved the slo-mo...try that rascal on some Osage Orange and report back

[fredeschen]

The best place to hit the round is on or in line with a natural crack!

I get a kick out of people calling a sledge a sluge lol

[canadian_wolf]

I split poplar so you could pretty much split it with a felling axe and I find Mail’s work better becuase I can pick them up and just drop them and usually it will crack them loose and I can do that for hours without getting tires

Have you tried a Darth Maul? Double the power. Cuts the job in half.

[danielroden]

it looks like stormbreaker. and its awesome!

my maul came with a 38 inch handle . they dont make a replacment that length but they do make a 36 inch one . i have a ludell from the 18-1900s. i wonder the about the fiskars i have the x25 splitting axe it is nice but the steel is low quality

[andrewm]

Can I hit the back of this maul with a sledge hammer or will it damage it

[JuanSebastianBenavidesVela]

I've always wanted to cut logs, so I bought this one, I have no experience at all, so I have a question, do I need to sharpen it? Or there's no need to sharpen this splitting maul?

[cocainehernandez]

I don’t like fiskars on bit and I don’t like using mauls either I prefer a 5 pound splitting axe. Either way I came here because I do like to have a maul to get big rounds in half before I go with my axe often time the maul and a sledgehammer I thought maybe this maul would suit that pretty well given I’m so tough on them think I’m going to pick one up. I still don’t like fiskars though lol

I saw these at Tractor Supply for $60 . I bet they'd work really good for smashing Zombie brains! 🧟 🧠

[The_Blessed_Cowboy]

Unfortunately that handle will give you shaken baby syndrome!
