Both this axe and the Stihl splitting maul look as though the head would not come out of a tight bit of wood easily. However since I have not tried either I am sure I will be corrected. They both seem expensive.

Price may be another factor and while the Gransfors may be good they are over £100 whereas the Fiskars X27 is on sale at my local hardware store for £49.99

 

Beware scams like this on Amazon though

For me and several others on this forum the X27 wins for its light weight, ease of extraction, quality of steel, strength of shaft, price and the bottom line, great result.
