Fiskars Isocore Maul: Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- Power: 9.5 Durability: 9 Feel: 8 (clumsy and vibrations) Cost: 10
Remember, these axes have warranties. It is hard to argue this tool as being the best, low maintenance option for the cost!
Why is everything a god damned advertisement now?
Oh I'm sorry, I guess I should have been more clear. This is actually not an AD. This was not paid. I was actually asked by many of my subscribers to begin talking more about the tools I approve of and use. Not paid by Fiskars. In fact, they don't even know who I am
Dude you are the boss, don't apologize to that man.
Is it not clear my man just loves axes
Where was the advertisement?
Man stop complaining bruv
Please remember, I am not paid by any axe brands yet. So every time I do an axe review, I have to buy one. These reviews are not advertisements.
Thanks for the reviews bro.
The only real reviews come from men who have to pay for it and put it to work 👍I appreciate your honesty and work.
Keep it up brother !!
How does it do against Eucalyptus? LoL
I respect it
They're not actually fibreglass, it's plastic coated with a steel core. Splitting a few cubes of Australian hardwood a year, i was going through 2 to 3 splitters. I bought one of these fiskars and its kept on splitting for the last 2.5 years, super impressed.
Still sucks😂
If you go to fiskars website and look at the product description it is not steel. It is a proprietary material called fibercomp
“Shock-absorbing FiberComp® handle is lightweight yet stronger than steel to prevent overstrike damage”
I've busted the handle off mine splitting 30 inch plus rounds Douglas Fir. Definitely plastic.
I remember an old timer I used to work for. Not a big strong powerful man but a smart man. He studied each chunk of wood he was about to split. He was accurate and precise, he didn’t swing hard. He was a master wood splitter and fun to watch.
I used one of these this year and I like it. For the past 45 years I have used a splitting maul that I hand made so that is all I can compare it to. 70 years old and still swinging.
As someone who knows nothing about splitting wood, I can verify this man is spot on!
Was that supposed to be humor?
@@MichaelGrubbEvolvedMinistryyes.
Idk why this dude is so cool but I will never be chopping down trees and I still love watching these badass videos
I appreciate you for that. Do yo have any videos you'd like me to make?
I've had that exact maul for 7 years and I've split several thousand pieces with it.. lights out. I leave it outside year round, barely a speck of rust. Workhorse/beast. Paid for itself x 10 already and no signs of slowing down. I'd give it 9.5/10. Plastic guard below maul itself cracks off after about a month
This paired with the X27 splitting axe make a nearly unstoppable combination. Power and precision.
Agreed!
Agreed!
That’s the combo I use. I love the X27 and the Isocore maul; but Fiskars lied about the handle reducing vibrations, the wrists feel it after splitting.
@@BusterChestnuts agree there!
I have the X27 and I love it. I'd like to see what you think of that one, too.
Fibreglass handles > wood handles as far as I am concerned. Especially for a maul. I will say though, wood handles look way better and feel better on naked hands. But if you are chopping wood daily, the reliability, low care concern, and lower weight of a fibreglass handle can't be argued with. Surprises me that you find wood handles to vibrate less. I find fibreglass and composite handles much better at handling vibration. Of course, I don't usually chop my big rounds through the middle, because I am not a social influencer, so I can see why we would have a difference of opinion on the matter. Aesthetics are important when your occupation relies on them, don't get me wrong. Anyway, I really enjoy your wood chopping videos. Keep up the good work.
Fibreglass handles make my neck, back and hands ache. Maybe i've only used poorly designed axes but i take wooden handles every day of the week
@@skyz6708We are lucky we get to choose what we use
I was surprised at his complaint about fiberglass handles as well. I find them very comfortable. I was also constantly breaking wood handles on mauls.
When you swing like a girl then fibreglass is probably better
@@mysty0 Agreed, when your technique is good, fibreglass is the way. Go have a rest, son. Being so edgy must be exhausting.
We got this exact maul. We hit wood half the size you do and take 4x as many swings. You are an absolute animal.
Bro, anyone who hasn't sponsored you yet is crazy! You put in the work. Keep those videos comming
Fiskars is a Finnish brand. Fun fact, the last official human execution in Finland was a decapitation using an axe.
Been splitting firewood of all types with this exact maul for 6 years now. It's held up beautifully and has always done exactly what I need it to.
I ended up buying one years ago because I kept breaking handles on box store mauls, and fiskars had a lifetime warranty. So far, I haven't broken it yet, but my wood splitting has decreased dramatically.
I have this as my main splitter and it is a beast. I do like it for nitty pieces and such. other wise I'll stay with my old six lb regular old maul
It really does kill
I've got this bad boy. Love it. Split two cords of eucalyptus last year with it. My wife also loves it.
Fiskars also makes a 6lb maul - me likey 😊 best mauls for the $$$ hands down !
Yeah I picked up an 8lb and I was like ehhh I’m a strong fuckin dude but that shit would get tiring. This dude in the video is just an animal. Absolute hulk. Picked up the 6lb and fell in love. Way more power than the x27 but won’t tire you out like the 8lb. Guy in video is something else. Im 100% straight but prob like 99% now.
Beast mode: ON! 💪 💪 💪
Imagine hanging out with this guy. So what do you wanna do? Ride dirt bikes? Go fishing maybe bowling. Nah man lets chop wood again.
That’s beautiful powerful to the max
Fiskars have a Guarantee for Life! Use that as much as you can and don’t worry if they break/when they break as Fiskars customer service are great at replacing if they do.
High quality from finland
@@genghiskhan9200 isn’t everything that comes out of Finland?!
We need more splitting axe reviews tbh
Working on it. I have to buy one every time I review one, so i am trying to be responsible. But I may do that weird Chopper1 axe next
I've been using the 6 lb isocore. Little bit lighter but you can swing it faster and raise it much easier. For us mortals that makes a difference, lol.
Honest review. Straight to the fucking point. Thanks, brother!
I appreciate you brotha!
Used this to split Texas Hill Country Live Oak. If the middle doesn't spread for you, slab it out from the edges. Love this maul except the same thing mentioned: vibrations make your hand tingle after a while.
Thanks for the review, I was just looking for a new axe!
Good stuff - I use it for my more wet, dense, and knotted pieces. I have a lighter Fisker splitter to split them into smaller pieces after I halve them. No problem with the brand thus far here.
dude looks like an elite soldier they wanna bring back on but he likes choppin wood more
I own one, and it works great. I haven't broken a handle yet vrs my wood handle axes . I probably break about 2 or 3 per year . It has a great wedge design for splitting, and you can pound the hell out of it on the back side without any issues
I've had one of those for 6 years now. Left outside, abused, in the dirt, sharpens easy and splits everything I throw it at 😂
What is the name?
Splitting wood is actually pretty therapeutic
Dude dig the content. Splitting wood is my zen time. I’m 40 and my father in law keeps telling me my gas powered wood splitter days are around the corner….😅 poor fella.
This was maybe the best review on yt ! Short and compact info vide.
I’ve been using that same Fiskars Maul for around 3 years . It’s handled more abuse than any go devil / maul I’ve used in the 30 + years of splitting wood by hand
The Fiskars axes are made where I am from in Finland. Yes I am biased, we have probably 10 dofferent Fiskars axes, some over 20 years old, and this handle will not break on you. I am also for wooden handles, because of tradition, but I hear people say these handles "will break" noup they wont.
The one complain I do have to some "versions" is that their steel has at times been much too hard for some types of wood, which can lead to spliting of the edge. But this has been rare and I think Fiskars will replace these axes as well.if you find Fiskars kitchen scissors, you MUST buy it, these are the absolut must have in a kitchen, and also what made Fiskars famous.
I always go back to using my 8 lb Collins. Need to get some new handles, and fully intend to try out some replacement handles from Beaver Tooth.
Gotta search them up!
Nice video 👍 I have same axe(and many other fiskars axe). In Finland that axe name is "building axe" i dont know why it have that selling name in Finland 🤔
Never been a fan of the handles but those axes and mauls they make are excellent
At that price, It is really hard to say anything bas about it.
@@ThorenBradley I just feel better with the wooded handles, mauls. Axes and hatches. Plus gotta be easier to switch out lol
@@buck1978you keep using and breaking sub par ancient wood handles 😂 let's see you break this😂 I'll wait for your video
@@leonardhpls6they will never show that it’s nearly indestructible. All those primitive „good old wood handles“ comments are from some backwater Americans
I love ur videos 😍 it's so fun to watch 😅
Great video
I moved from Upstate NY to Arizona 18 years ago, just finished my new home and I have a wood burning fireplace insert now. I am back in the wood cutting and splitting business now, I figure about 5 cords should do me for this winter to supplement the gas furnace. I was looking a another splitting wedge those all metal mauls with the big 12 lb triangle shaped heads. how do these axe looking mauls compare. I did just buy a small chainsaw, a Stihl Farmboss, that should be more than enough for my wood cutting now, I'm not doing 40+ cords a year anymore.
Be a good executioner this guy.
I am a fellow wood splitting enthusiasts and I use their light weight splitting axe
FINALLY a video of a real man.
When guys think they're girls is so 🤨🙄😒
Thank you for some refreshing vidoes. Id love to buy an axe too but i need to watch more of your vidoes to find a fit for me 😄
Thank you sir
The one nice thing about it being a replaceable handle is you can always pull off the fiberglass one and replace it with your own homemade wood one..
Bro, if you started a whiskey company, it would work out for sure. Hats off to the beard, my friend. Nice
I just replaced the fiberglass handle on my 4.5lb husky with hickory and it’s a few inches longer but let me tell you the before and after had me blown away. I’ll never buy a fiberglass handle again let alone use one.
Nice i was looking at that one im old but i started chopping wood itsa good work out
I have been splitting for 12 years now with my fiber same maul no replacements to handle or anything else I never liked the wood handles I get more shock out of them I also like a 10-12 lb maul
This axe Looks very nice
I've split many cords with that one and the X27. It's a great maul, but I found that the rubber grip comes apart and creates blisters on the inside of your thumb after hours of use. Happy chopping.
I got an eight pound clone from princess auto and it actually has an eye on the head. So I'm gonna go buy a stave of Hickory and make a handle for her
I love Fiskars, I use their gardening trowel, its like a little sword. I saw their machete and i want to use it
Their garden tools seem great!
They made a news article about this in one of the evening tabloids :D
It did pretty good❤
Let's not forget you are skilled at this! The axe cannot split logs on it's own.
One good whack everyone knows the rules!
I love your video ❤
I use that maul and the x27 exclusively.
You might want to review a pile-shaft manual log splitter ….
With the right photo on the front and use the innuendo a little and you could get a whole lotta likes from any admirers!
There would not be a more fitting name than *bradley* for this man.
NZ crew checking in
Well I appreciate you buying the damn thing. I've used Fisker products my whole life it was the orange stripe on that maul that made me click on your s*** in the first place! so you now have a viewer because you bought THAT maul. F*** it man Tell you what I'll just hit the Subscribe that way you get something for it.
For a beginner I think fiskars is pretty good to start with. I like the weight and design of them despite the handle material. I have a maul, slotting axe and hatchet. Reasonably priced too.
Splitting axe
I have Fiskars maul, axe and hatchet i like them. they are older
Have you tried the x27, they're slightly smaller but still splitter. powers through Australian Hardwood
Another drawback to fiberglass handles: Is after some use, mis-hits, the fine outer layers of fiberglass splinter away. Which inevitability get stuck in your hands. And anyone who has had to remove a fiberglass sliver. Knows just how painful/frustrating it can be. Nearly invisible, extremely brittle, and doesn't fester out like wood slivers do. My Vaughn framing hammer has a fiberglass handle. Only drawback to an otherwise pristine tool.
I love my fiskars maul. But my x27 is light enough for all day swinging, yet strong enough to make it light work of wood. I’d love to see you split gum, we have a ton of that here in va and it’s a fucking ass kicker man.
Beast mode
I almost bought this exact maul. I went on Amazon and saw the Eastwing splitting “axe” with an 8lb head and it was $40…. And the 6.5 Eastwing splitting axe was $56. And they both came with a wooden handle. Not sure if you have used either of those or not but it has been a heck of a splitter for me. Thanks for the content!
Eastwing is usually a reliable brand. Doing siding/ roofing and masonry I’ve always bought their more expensive hammers and they have lasted me years. Downside is yes you are paying for the brand when it comes to anything they sell
Nice job
I don’t want to like Fiskars axes & mulls but I agree, they are good.
When will we get to see sassy/tipsy Thor again? He was fun😊
Just remember guys if you want to be like him don’t forget to gel your hair and put on make up before you go to split firewood
The vibration you just gotta get used too. Can ignore it after awhile
The way he started it made me question why I own mine
Only Paul Bunyan can swing this axe all day 👍🏻
More bro More
Beautiful Maul; i actually prefer the x37; it's a bit lighter and i can work longer. But i too love tovtry this with a wooden habdle.
Really like a wood handle.
I have the Fiskars x27 and the first time using a fiberglass handle at first I hate how it hurts my hand more then I start to change my grip or my hand place meant then I started to love the axe more and more
Is all where you put your hand on the axe
Thick gloves work fine when using fiskars axes.
You should try this axe on eucalyptus that you broke your other axe on.
waiting for the dragon hatchet review
Just got mine... i feel theres some power loss with the handle? ... just a hunch... over my wooden handled axe... early days tho... twisted gum ... new zealand. And it just bounces off often .
You should try finnish leveraxe
Its an absolute MONSTER of a maul. Handle is amazing. You're clearly squeezing the handle too tight so the ladies can see you flex. Such a try hard.
If I remember fiskar well replace your axe or muller if you break the handle
A "proper" wood handle beats this handle all day, but that head is a fucking monster!
Great review! What pants are those that have a suspender stud built in?? Need a pair!
Hey, just wondering, do you have any videos of axe brands you would recommend? I’ve been searching for some time now. Nice video by the way.
Aren't those handles actually really known for being super durable? I mean most fiskars axes can't have their handles replaced and they hold up a really long time and people still use them.
Im thinking of trying a Wilton b.a.s.h splitting maul just because i absolutely love their sledgehammers. They have a some form of rubber handle with a 4 steel cable core. The sledge hammers seem to not transmit the shock back to the user so id be curious whether holds true for the maul as well.
Love my fiskar..hate the handle.good for the price tho
Stormbreaker is real!
next kratos axe👀
Dude your suspenders i want to buy some …..thank you
Where can I ?
Hey Brother. I am really sorry to inform you, but I actually bought these in a rural chainsaw shop in Oregon. I do not know the brand. But I have been looking rigorously
Thank you for the reply at 62 and living for now in eastern Hungary i chop wood everyday… i love it first thing in the morning when i drink my coffee… mostly oak beech and birch….some spruce stay healthy and be happy…enjoy your videos
Fiskars has a lifetime warrantee... If you break it, they will send you a new one. No need to replace the handle!
I like the vid brother been on the fence about this but I’m actually interested in your suspenders lol, does anyone know what brand they are? I can’t find a good pair anywhere. I’d appreciate any info on em’ cheers!
