If he keeps swinging that 30 lb one he is going to have some back troubles one day.

I have a fiskars and it does two things really well, one is it gets stuck and two is it does nothing.
Testing the two.

My cousin has an X27 and I was pretty impressed considering it truly feels like a toy. What a destructive toy though. lol
I'm tuned in for a #8 Council maul but that Fiskars was smooth if you are a stove guy.
This poor kid in the video needs some advice. His homemade wedge is impressive though.

Id rather take alittle longer with my "light" x27 than to swing that "heavy" maul any day.........
Because he is stupid

Where the Wild Things Are
The definition of work harder, not smarter. Neither is appropriate for that job, but at least one of those tools is useful for some things. The other is worthless for everything. All he was doing was picking the anvil up and dropping it.
I've quartered a lot of rounds that size, many with my old Chopper1 (which is probably 5-6lbs). If that doesn't work a couple of wedges would pop it with far less time and effort (and injury) than what he was doing. And if there's a knot then it would noodle right up.

Maybe the kid can learn from this nut.

I've had my Fiskars for... what... must be three years now.
I use it... for the right application.
If something happened to it, I wouldn't replace it.

But he has good wind!
Neither of those tools is correct for that job.

I thought that video was a bit strange, myself.
Well if he was smart he would have used the Fiskers as a wedge and hit it with the 30 lb er. That would have got it started in about 5 hits then the big maul would have finished it in about 5 more.Neither of those tools is correct for that job.
You know my friend some peoples are so stupid even the God have leave them
