absolutely nucking futs, and that twit Gerry Harvey wonders why we buy stuff online from overseas

[threedogs]

X2 funny how they are $50 cheaper from O/S than around the corner at Bunnings.
Best axe/splitter ever made. I have the X25 and the X7 for under $100 delivered for both

[Winnie]

How much did you guys pay for shipping? Have wanted one of these for a while now but too expensive locally.

[my third 256]

dont like the handle they flex too much

[AB]

Ive got two of the Fiskar's and IMHO they are the best splitters going around.

Ive been chopping wood for 20 years and It's the best one ive used to date.

Just don't use the back side for a hammer...lol

[taslucas]

Yep I've got one of the big suckers (36") and a fiskas too.

Tap, crackle, pop

Always wanted one but been too pricey

Im already geared up thanks mate but thats an unreal saving none the less & it just so happens our illustrious leader is in the market for a new saw so this should spark he's interest quite nicely......

There it is AB complements of "TheFlyingBadger"

[MEGOMONSTER]

Theres nothing like a drunken camper with a really sharp axe.

[threedogs]

You're just talking about 4 Toes Charlie. Never was any good with an axe. LOL

[Woof]

Well I decided that if Badger and I are going to clear that forest I had better get something that made it a bit easier for this old dog...so I ordered a motorised chopper, can't wait for it to arrive so I can try it out on the park down the road..

[TheFlyingBadger]

which one dogmeister?

[Woof]

which one dogmeister?

Went with the 18" one mate

[TheFlyingBadger]

Went with the 18" one mate

sweet. let me know how you get on with it. I'm in negotiations with santa for getting one for xmas

[Woof]

No worries will do, decided that the 40 year old McCulloch needed be retired, it's been a great saw though

[Stropp]

just chop the jarrah trees down doggie and i will bring the trailer around to take away the evidence :)

[threedogs]

Yo Dogman you tried that new Fiskar yet?? must say though works better if you chainsaw logs first.
I got that Bruam? chainsaw 72cc motor with 2ft bar. but brought an 18" bar and chain to suit. much
easier to use. Pity they don't come with carry case only chain/bar protector.
Hasn't let me down yet in 1 yr so happy with that.

[Clunk]

Got a fiskars X17 free. Yep u heard right, free!! Thanks to rogue dung beetle and 4x4tv it came in their gift pack. Only used it to split kindling so far so haven't swung it in anger to yet.

Oh hark at you, with your freebies!!!!!! Sold your soul to the dung beetle for it dud ya!!!!????? Bwahahahahaha

[Irvs]

Hey guys, I just tried to order an axe or several and amazon said they do not ship that type of item to me (melbourne). Anyone else have a problem like that?

[Irvs]

Figured out that it was because they frown upon sending a 36" axe overseas with a 22" machete and a sharpener. Must think I was going to go Rambo or something

Reckon you'd be ok if you ordered them one at a time though

yes, and with harmless objects too - from memory my messages relate to a particular vendor not posting stuff here - but the message was sent from Ama2on.

[Irvs]

The allow the 14 inch hatchets and 28 inch splitter but unit the machete or the 36 inch splitter for some reason. Could be a supplier thing or an Australian customs thing

You can't bring in the machete, but you can bring the brush axe - which is like a machete

[Irvs]

Amazon is a pretty good site, I like how you can read customer reviews on the same page as the listing. By the way there is a section you can go to so it only shows you the stuff you can get sent to you so you don't even see the stuff that can't be shipped too you.

[Woof]

Well the new chainsaw arrived this week, fired it up yesterday and trimmed a few small branches in the backyard...........very impressed, a lot different than the 40 year old McCulloch that I have been using.

[Irvs]

That the husqvarna one dogman?

[Woof]

That the husqvarna one dogman?

Yeah mate, the one with the 18" bar

[Woof]

Well I have been trying the new saw out some more today, the backyard is looking a bit bare, only a pile of tree stuff against the fence now ....so glad that it is only a rental..LOL................the park down the road is looking like it requires a bit of a trim now.

Axes + forrests = cheque book/visa card. PML

[Winnie]

A mate brought one of these camping this weekend, his was a chopping axe. I tried it and it was awesome, gonna get the splitter for myself.

[threedogs]

Kristoffa, they are the same Ill try put pic of all the ones available.
if its an "X" series its an axe/splitter, X27 being the longest and X5 the smallest
The shape of the head and angle is the same. Note there is an X10 44cm long

[Winnie]

That photo shows the chopping axes on one side and splitting axes on the other?
Looking on their website they are definitely different.

yep they have splitters and choppers! Ive got the biggest splitter. They are great:)

[Winnie]

Just ordered the X25 off of Amazon for a grand total of $57.26 including shipping. That's just over $50 less than I can get it locally.

Its nuts really. A Finnish axe, via the us half the price

[Winnie]

Just shows how much Australia gets ripped off. When I bought my sub and amp from America, it was $1000 less than what I could get it for anywhere in the country. Paid just a smidge over $500 including shipping PLUS got a free top quality 4G wiring kit worth about $100. That's under a third of the price!

I mean, I like supporting local businesses but come on!

[threedogs]

Taslucas are you using yours for splitting or as an axe as I have no doubt they can chop. I'll try my X25 next camp on the smaller stuff.
Chainsaw Takes care of the rest, someone posted handle wobbles, cant see how, best axe/splitter I've used by a country mile.

Kristoffa it wasn't axe on one side splitter on other bad pic not showing complete Ad, my bad sorry

Just reading that brochure seems they are all axes, but extremely good at splitting, go figure

[Winnie]

Nah mate, they definitely have chopping axes and splitting axes. We used the chopping axe for splitting last weekend though and it worked pretty well, not as well as a regular splitter obviously but did the job no worries.
I got the splitter because I use the chainsaw for cutting.

This is the splitting axe.

Tried all 3 like the centre one cuts with less effort IMO

[NissanGQ4.2]

Thought I would dig up and old thread.

Broke my old log splitters wooden handle yesterday so thought I would go down to Bunnings and buy myself a Fiskars this morning, Well my back is sore my hand is sore but the family will be happy come winter time.

Frisker is lighter than my old one and I think it splits through the logs better 2 :)

Yeah mate I love mine, after a few hours of chopping the light weight handle makes a huge difference. I gotta start winter collection soon.

I'm procrastinating it!!!!!!

I got gas installed so I didn't have to do the hard manual labour anymore!!!!!!!!!!!

Yet I still take it when its free! Going out tomorrow to cut another load, guess what I will be using next weekend!

Yeh the handle does make a huge difference, wish I bought it last winter!

I fully understand Wayne. My youngest turned 18 last week and wants to buy a $30,000 ute! He's just signed his apprenticeship papers and hasn't even done his 3 months probation!

Anyway, back on track......I've got my Stihl Farm Boss chainsaw, a block splitter and a tomahawk. If i can't do any damage with them, I give up. lol
