The chainsaw wins :)
Stay out of the middle of the log, work the edges .....
I recently learned this, and it changed my life when it came to splitting.
From the outside in
Poor guy. I hope he hasn’t been splitting his fire wood like that for long
I have been using the GB splitting maul for 3 years and really like it. It makes splitting a lot easier and faster than my old hardware store splitting maul. I sharpen it once a season. It is a very high quality tool.
Any log that wobbles like that after it has been hit is going to dissipate all of the energy you've put into it rather than it being concentrated down through the contact point. Save yourself time and energy, make sure you have a solid splitting block and ensure your logs don't wobble.
I commend you, sir, for giving honest effort to show us the difference between two tools. I prefer lighter splitting axes, ie. husqvarna splitting axe, fiskars x27. Good working tools with reasonable price tags. Glad to see that you didn't kill yourself filming the effort. I would rather work the bark side close to me and move arounf the log myself but I don't believe your axemanship is in any fault. A lot of guys would be thinking that they could do better with their GB Small Forest Axes but I am not one of them. Let them do some honest work with hardwood rounds and grow up some. Great info. I am going to sub your channel.
i am envious over your mild winters
That was painful to watch. I hope your viewers appreciate what you put yourself through for this video. I generally use a splitting wedge and a sledgehammer or I have a 14lb "Monster Maul" for splitting the bigger stuff. I have a couple Gransfors (forest and felling). They are for log surgery :) If you want to whack-a-mole on a log with those little splitting mauls, by all means... If you want to split a round over 8 inches (oak or elm), check out the 14lb monster maul. I'm not being critical, I understand you're demonstrating capabilities. Great content as always!
That’s why I gave the details in the bottom corner of the type of wood... how long it has aged, and size. Obviously wood that has dried and started a crack is much easier than what I was hitting. And in a normal situation I would have used the backside of that Gransfors Bruks to drive a wedge lol.
Really really good review!
Thank you for the video today.
The rooster even said,you the man...🤙🏻
Interesting comparison but I knew the outcome before you even started. I have the Gransfors Bruks splitting maul and I’m convinced it’s the best there is. Perfect head weight and length of handle. It’s narrow wedge shape is perfectly designed to split wood. I also have the Fiskars X27 and it is excellent as well but the GFB is superior in every way except cost. I’ve used both extensively so can speak to them both. For 1/4th the money and durability of the handle get the Fiskars. But if you want a beautifully made axe that performs the best definitely get the GFB splitting Maul. BTW Nice axe collection you got there.
Hi , i love my fiskars x27 for splitting and i love my gransfors american felling axe for chopping . Thx for your video
Great video but, if I can't split a round in 3 or 4 swings I move on to another. Those hard to split rounds, I saw in half again and try to split later. I use Council Tools 5lb splitting axe, 6lb and 8lb splitting mauls (USA) for my splitting needs and very happy with them. I have had to cut wood into table top like pieces because they would not split except using a hydraulic log splitter, which I don't have. Happy splitting.
Helko makes a log splitter in the same style if you wanted to test that one too
I like my craftsman log splitter.
Will you still like it when there is no gas?
;-)
An axe always starts
@@clumbsyfern7223 - I like that analogy. Very good.
😂
The 35 ton wood splitter works great.
even if your wood is wet aka not dry...if you can't split it on one end, flip over the log to the other side & it should split. Thats what we used to do & it worked everytime.
If you turn the round over so the bottom side of the tree is facing up, your maul will drive through and not bounce back at you
You're very good at swinging that axe, so i suggest that you try your GB axe with one of the GB wedge.
For Heavens sake man use a wedge 🤪
How are these vs race axes for just chopping fire wood?
Not comparing the right axes in my opinion... that helko isn’t really a splitter
Interesting to see how different your oak is I'm from England and the English oak cuts and splits so easy when wet but becomes like concrete when dry this timber looks the opposite, interesting.
Those rounds looked and sounded pretty dead and dry to me 🤔
yeah not sure what is going on here lol. I have the same experience as you.
American oak is like that too. His oak may have been concrete 😂
You need a 7 lb maul to split American oak and a pneumatic log splitter to split hickory or any wood with grainy knots.
The hat had me fooled. Painful to watch. I split wood for 3 weeks straight. Sun up to sun down. By hand. It kicked my ass. I feel your pain.
Some kinds of oak spit easier with the rounds sitting as they grew others with the bottom end up. At any rate that wood splits better with a maul that has convex cheeks! A harbor freight 8 pound, after a little grinding, works much better in that white oak than either of those.
Can't wait to see the comparison on felling!
If he fells like he splits, the tree will never come down 🤣🤦♂️
God Bless You
Okay, So the Helko split it faster. The crack that developed 10 swings prior was not exploited by this fellow. Not coming down on this guy for having a bias for Granfors but the Helko did win.
This is why they make wedges.
I prefer my helko spaltaxe it's a beast
It was funny seeing that chainsaw open the video when I've been watching videos where hand saws are used like My Self Reliance, but we're Canadian.
Id spend the $500 on those two calorie burners on a hydraulic wood splitter. LOL
I wouldn't want this guy splitting my firewood 😂
you should keep the axes you show consistent
HAAAANS! Get the Ochsenkopf!
well, that is some nasty wood ^^ but in my opinion a universal axe is the biggest BS you can build. ether you want to cut smth or you want to split something. a thing in the middle is just crappy on both of these. I just did this mistake myself and I bought the Ochsenkopf universal Forest Axe with redband plus system. that is basicly just a Felling Axe with a bigger Blade. doenst cut realy good in wood, does get stuck while splitting and is extremly hard to controle while bouncing off o the sides. just get a Splitting axe or the big Ox, thats the right tool for nasty Oak. Germany is full of those.
Somebody tell this guy to work smarter not harder.
And you can get the vario with a thicker splitting head
Good example of just how tough a wood oak is!
oak is not tough lol. White, red, whatever it is, splits like butter. Just about the only wood I enjoy splitting by hand. It should not have been that hard for this guy lol.
@@SimplelivingCT though enough for the Royal Navy, apparently.
Splitting mauls and splitting axes aren’t the same, I think you’re using the terms interchangeably.
I think I will stick to my electric/hydraulic log splitter
You should smack your handle to free a stick. If you pry it loose you will work your handle loose inside the eye.
This is precisely why man invented the hydraulic log splitter so you hang out at the gym and admire the latest gym fashions with your spare time!
What axe / mull would be good for a woman.?
For splitting or chopping?
When the axe/maul get stuck just smack the end of the handle or flip it and smack the poll on another log , save your axe handles.
This dude is kinda clueless
01:19 The Helko Werk is not a felling axe, contrary to what the commentator says
No need for firewood this is going to be the winter without winter.
That was last year. You should have read the farmer's almanac. We had winter this year. Even Texas had winter this year.
I don't trust those screws
Damn I wish I could swing that fast lol :(
Saws are king
👍👍👍🤝🤝
My husband I were out splitting wood yesterday. No maul used he has a big gas splitter and uses the tractor to drop big logs on the splitter. As you get older have to work smarter - I am 70. He says a real man doesn't need to wear chaps - he uses a 30 inch bar and has never cut himself. Our splitter would have taken care of that log in 1 minute like cutting butter. But its fun to watch a young man flex his muscles.
And if power goes out?
@@holymoly271 We have the fireplace for heat and cooking - the splitter is not electric so it never needs electric. And doesn't need much gas which we always have on hand.
@@randyromines7364 thanks for clarifying. What splitter do you like?
@@holymoly271 This is my hubbys and its probably 40 or more years old, gas engine, pneumatic arm - personally look at the pound strength and price you can afford.
What would you do if you haven’t had a gas splitter and a tractor? Maybe you have the cash for it but not everybody does....and saying that a "real man" doesn’t need chaps is completely silly. I’m a welder and if you knew how many old wolves claim that they’ve had never need ears and eye protection. They’re all deaf and half blind but damn.... they’re real mans!
Would've been nice to see it up against the hello splitting axe..comparing a felling axe to a splitter just doesn't seem fair.
what dont have enough money to compare the helko splitting maul
That'll make a man out of ya! The maul seems superior for the task. For one thing you don't have to use all your energy to pry it free from the lot after a hit😅
You have to work your edges better, those pieces would have taken half the time.
first off wtf are you doing hitting the center. Your supposed start at the edge. EDUCATE YOUSELF
But there is a 10% chance that Florida will be covered in 14 feet of snow
bc Canada first one
I wish I was in BC 🤨
Absurd splitting technique. Hard to watch................
Are we going to ignore the fact that in the dried log he switch out the log with the German ake I'll never trust this guy again
I too understand what you are demonstrating but for the love of God invest in a auto splitter. Work smart not harder😨
fiskars x27 is better...
I thought it would be fun to get myself a peavey and pickaroon ,and it really is. I have a fiskers splitting axe,and an all welded steel maul i call the bitch beater. After you heft and swing that thing all day your are the bitch,and you know you have been beat down. At my age i just use the fiskars for the straight grain. The bitch beater for mo more than six tries on knarled pieces of wood. If it is quality oak,or hickory that i must have i will hook up the hydraulic log splitter and use some common sense.
All that time wasted juggling a balancing act on a chopping block. Duh... get an old tire ,the size you prefer. Set your logs in it and split them with a maul or modern splitting axe.
The wood will stay stable and you wont have to chase it all over gods creation. I prefer ash,locust,hedge apple,or what they csll bodark osage orange.white oak,red oak ,beech,pecan,and hickory. I live in the land of harder woods,and it is vest to use a splitting maul,or splitting axe,because these woods that i refer too ,will lay waiste to a good axe.
Too much wobble and axe bounce. Work smarter not harder. Try to get your axe stuck on every swing by driving it straight down. Then flip the log over and drop the back of the axe on another log. Every time the axe bounces off the log or the log wobbles, energy not being transferred into the log and is wasted. This youtuber explains splitting and flipping the log technique perfectly, ua-cam.com/video/Fxk5pahKQRQ/v-deo.html
Looks like you have no power 😂 is not the axe 🪓
I tried to watch this, but I just couldn't listen to your dog barking... I guess when you have a barking dog you probably get used to it, but it's not a great addition to UA-cam content.
Jesus Christ. Oak is some tough shit.. we avoid it when we split by hand unless it's highly seasoned... Even then it's a real bear. Separates the men from the boys... But what they don't tell you is they boys back is still 100 and the men's is running on about 35
"You can buy from different companies."
🥺 🤯
This is embarrassing
I guess you got your exercise in, it is painful to watch you!!!
You compared a universal axe with a splitting maul in a splitting contest. The splitting maul wins. What a surprise! Such a pointless video...
Sorry comparison 4 in different length
