FiskarsSplitting Hammer X46, 2-in-1: Ax and Hammer, Hardened Steel Blade/Glass Fiber ReinForced Plastic Handle, Black/Orange, 1001705, Standard, 92 x 26 x 8 cm

Very sharp and great quality. The handle is really comfortable.It’s a heave swing but smashes it’s way throug any wood with knots in it. Usually I would have to get out a twist wedge splitter and sledge hammer but nor longer with this bad boy.Just be careful if you haven had a lot of wood chopping practice because if your not very accurate and miss the log then you won’t be able to control or stop this heavy beast hitting the ground or even worse your feet or legs. Over all though it’s a fantastic tool for the experienced person with knarley knotty tough crack logs. Not the axe you can uses on the day to day logs though. Try the lighter X25 for that. I love fiskars wood chopping products.

I've been using this for a few months now and it's safe to say it hasn't met a piece of wood, wet or dry, that it couldn't split. It's a heavy axe and it can be tiring to use for a long time, but I sometimes find I don't have to use much force, using the weight of the axe head instead to do the work.

I have several Fiskars axes which I'd rate 10/10. This X39 I'd rate 9/10 because it doesn't come with the carry case the others do, and the handle doesn't get wider at the end to stop your hand slipping off. That said my hand hasn't slipped off as it has a grippy rubberised handle - it also has a rubber collar to prevent damage to the handle of you miss your spot. It's 1.2kg heavier than my XXL X27 splitting maul but about 6cm shorter, though still long enough at about 90cm (I'm 6ft1 - 1.85m). I bought this because of the plastic back to the axe head that can be used as a hammer without fear of it shattering or chipping when hammering metal wedges. I have a load of large logs that the axes get stuck in and I feel comfortable in hammering this through with a lump / sledge hammer which saves on the hassle of getting it out and then using a wedge. The moral however is to split your logs as soon after they have been cut as possible when it is much easier and this axe will easily split large rounds up to 30-40cm if they are not too knotty but overall the X27 is better as it is lighter and less tiring to use so if you don't need the hammer is probably the better buy.

Logging felled ash trees. Superb axe. Goes through like butter. Heavy - don’t buy if you are looking for something lightweight. Super sharp edge. I did a lot of research and this is perfect for the job at hand.

Very good acx but arrived in a bad Nick

didnt know if i did the right thing getting the biggest one, theres a smaller one thats 8 ib and another called a builders axe or something thats an 8 as well but to be honest its not that bad, its a reasonable lump like but just let it fall and itl split decent size logs like a foot deep and 3 foot round willow i got here, you mostly dont even have to swing it and bonus it doesnt get stuck, quick pat on the shaft and it pops out. no shock if you hit a knot either

Quality product, really sharp, ready to use straight away.Product received UK is made in France.

Good heavy maul, I have 2 other Fiskars axes so I knew the quality would be great. Splits big knotty rings without problems. Very happy with it.

Mi sono deciso di acquistare questa ascia perchè la mia vecchia compagna di molte campagne ed inverni stava dando i segni di voler lasciarmi a piedi ; quindi dopo un pò di ricerche ho optato per ordinare questa bellissima ascia .Partiamo col dire che è Made in France ! Ottimo prodotto robusto e se anche il peso e di soli 4.6Kg non è perfettamente bilanciata . Questo non toglie che si riescie ad usare quotidianamente senza grossi problemi . Taglia praticamente tutto e in caso doveste fare dei pezzi sottili per accendere il camino ( come faccio io con pali molto teneri di Castagno di oltre 20 anni ) lavora in modo quasi chirurgico . Ovviamente avendo molte piante di pere quando arrivo a dover spaccare tronchi con molti rami la cosa si fa seria ed occorre l'aiuto di un cuneo da spacco e l'altro lato con la mazza . Detto questo posso garantirvi che spacca legna in modo davvero ottimo . Consigliatissima !

Sehr robust und schneidet echt gut.Durch das ordentliche Gewicht braucht man nicht mal viel Kraft um das Holz zu spalten.Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen

Sehr gutes Werkzeug!

Super

Ich habe einen Holzspalter, der 5 Tonnen Druck aufbaut. Der ist toll für gerade Hölzer, aber sobald es dicker und Astig wird bleibt er immer wieder im Holz stecken, welches dann mühevoll herausgeschlagen werden muss. Das kostet Zeit und ist für das Gerät sicher nicht gesund.Daher habe ich mit den Spalthammer von Fiskars geholt und muss gleich sagen: Ich bin voll begeistert. Ich bin mit Spaltkeilen, zwei kleineren Hacken, meinem e-Spalter und dem neuen Spalthammer ausgerückt um ca. 10 Birken (auf 50cm geschnitten, frisch und feucht, die meisten zwischen 25 und 60 cm dick) zu spalten. Der Spalthammer ging so gut, dass ich einmal die Keile benötigt habe, sonst alles mit dem Spalthammer geviertelt bzw. gesechstelt habe. Den Rest hat dann mein Schwager mit dem e-Spalter klein gemacht.Arbeitszeit mit 4 x Weführen, nachschleifen, Bierpause, etc. ca. 5 Stunden.Dabei habe ich den Spalthammer allerdings zwei mal nachgeschliffen, da er sichtliche Scharten bekommen hat, obwohl ich nur am Hackstock gehackt habe. Ich habe immer gleich mit der 120er Schrubbscheibe auf der Akkuflex grob drüber geschliffen und dann mit dem Fiskars Axt- und Messerschärfer fein nachgeschliffen. Geht schnell und reicht vollkommen aus.Nach so vielen Hieben (abwechselnd links und rechts) waren die Hände natürlich schon schwer, aber ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass es so "leicht" gehen würde. Der Kraftaufwand ist tatsächlich sehr gering und auch bei Fehlschlägen prellt es kaum. Man muss am Anfang eher aufpassen, dass man bei leicht zu spaltenden Material nicht zu fest drauf haut, sonst ist der Hackstock auch gleich mit gespalten ;)Im Vergleich zu meiner alten Spaltaxt oder einer gewöhnlichen Hacke eine ganz klare Verbesserung.Perfekt wäre sicher die Kombi aus Spalthammer und einer der kleinen Spaltäxte für die Scheite.Auf jeden Fall eine klare Kaufempfehlung.
