Too soon ?
Didn’t I see an angle grinder on special at Aldi the other day…
Wonder why the xX17 has been reduced but not the x25.
Haha.. I read it 'Fix Arse'
I have this and the x27; as a rule I'll use the 27 but I'm pretty tall and like a full swing, so for me it's a bit short - but both axes are excellent.
At this price I'm tempted to get another x17 and keep it in the 4x4.
Not a fan of axes when chopping Australian hardwood. I find the Saxon block splitter from Bunnings more than capable at around $25
Australian hardwood is tough and hard work to chop a big pile. I have the Fiskars Isocore Maul for when more power is needed. It's an incredible tool but breaks you if you need to do a lot!
Try the Fiskars maul, it's a beast
I tried the Saxon one and it was horrible, needed to resort to using wedges and even they would be a pain to hit into the wood. Cracked it and bought the Fiskars maul and haven't used a single wedge since. I alternate that with the X27 and they are both phenomenal and worth every cent and urge everyone to just buy the Fiskars first
I found the Saxon block splitter to be terrible, just kept getting stuck in the log. Returned it and bought the X25…incredible axe, no comparison.
I have this and the X25 (and their Isocore Maul). This is fine for smaller jobs and is a great tool but you need something a big more beefy for tougher, bigger logs.
I'm not tall but i have this and i think it's a tad too short. But you get used to it and is amazing axe. I wouldn't use it to split though
What do you use it for if not for splitting?
It's a good logging and felling axe, good for prepping trees for felling, setting wedges and clearing small branches. That's what mine is used for.
Ahh fair enough. I have my X11 and I’m using that for splitting LOL
@ddxsamx: Don't get me wrong though, I do use it to split too lol but it's not quite as effective as the 8lb splitter I have but the X17 is the right balance of weight and size to be a multi-purpose axe
@ConsumerAffairs: Yeah cheers, I might go check them out in store tomorrow. At that price it’s quite tempting
..and my axe!
So I’ve got an X11 that I take to car camp (4wd) and split ironbark logs (and anything else), any recommendations if I should get this or just go straight to the x25? I’m thinking the x17 would be a good step up whilst still being pretty portable?
The X17 would be perfect to carry in a 4WD
Looks like a good price. Think I’ll go check it out to see if it’s big enough. Who are they competing with price on this?
Had a look today and it’s too small for my liking.
Fiskars make a damned fine Axe. They don't go on special very often either. Definitely a deal worthy of snapping up.
I have an x17 as it is a nice size for space-saving in my tourer. Every Fiskars axe I have owed has been excellent. There is a reason every other brand seem to be ripping off their design.
