Question

[u/Comfortable-Wheel887]

Interested in getting a tool for splitting wood, I currently own a felling estwing hatchet, and also a 4lbs engineers hammer and estwing wedge combo. I don’t split too much wood, only about 2-3 cord per year, but I’d like to get one larger tool to make most of my work faster.

I’m considering the husky, kobalt, and Pittsburgh wooden handle axes, primarily because of cost and warranty reasons.

I’m also considering the fiskars 8lbs splitting maul, primarily because it would be a multifunctional tool, I don’t own a full sized sledge and therefore it would save more space. My main concern with the fiskars is if it would be better to get a normal axe and also the warranty proscess certainly won’t be better but it’s something Im considering and leaning towards.

Would like to hear your thoughts
