Can I use this to slowly break down a tree trunk? Based on description it doesn't seem like that but looking for opinions.
I just let slow rot and a maul do my stump work. My only regret is not asking the tree guys to cut it at "seat level" so I could at least play Giving Tree for a few years.

Newb question for those of you who split wood regularly: when would you use a splitting axe vs. Maul?

I'm going to buy this regardless, I'm more looking for first-hand experience as to what is the right tool, for what job.

maul is heavier, most importantly, it's got a hammer end so you can drive a splitting wedge, which is how you have to start the monster diameter rounds. The real pro tip is to invest in the alumiunum wedges, as there is very little recoil like steel on steel wedge, most of the impact goes into denting and driving the wedge. they don't last as long but they are faster and more energy efficient, and they still last a long time. i'd say aluminum wedge must have for the nastiest of manual labor splitting jobs. iltis oxhead / stihl are the same german maker and have a good twisting aluminum splitting wedge

I've used this for small tree trunks. Maybe max 8 inches in diameter. Once they've dried out, you can slam this thing in there, do a little twisting action and the trunk breaks apart. I just did three of those. But anything larger, this is not the right tool.

When Jason from Friday the 13th forgets to sharpen his machete before a murderous rampage, having a good axe handy is a real lifesaver... figuratively speaking. Super splitting? Absolutely! You ever try wrenching an axe out of someone's skull when it gets wedged in bone? Shock-absorbing handle? Yes please! Nothing takes you out of the moment faster, when disemboweling someone with an axe, than a poorly placed blow causing the shock to travel all the way up your arm. Non-slip grip? A must have! No more worrying about losing your grip when chasing down your fifth victim of the night and your axe is slick with blood.

Axe-wielding movie killers give this axe two severed thumbs up!

5'-8" height - would you recommend x25 instead? It's also on sale. Seems to be better for this height unless I'm breaking some monster logs based on what I've read. I assume both are great but if I only had one - and wasn't splitting a massive amount?

according to reviews, yes, X25 is better than X27 for 5'8

I live in NYC. I definitely don't need this and am more likely to get arrested for having it than use it splitting wood.

In for 2 to dual-wield...

NO, the shorter the ax, the better chance of hitting yourself in shin. Ive saw this happen and its not pretty. This ax is so lightweight, you wont even notice a the length. Plus, you can stronger swing with a longer handle and stand a bit further back from the wood which is safer

Great axe. Just don't try it on a sweetgum. You'll be whacking those things for hours with no progress

"You'll be whacking those things for hours with no progress" Context is important. But seriously now, I just bought one of these at HD full price thinking, "Where am I ever going to find a deal on an axe????" Dang Slickdeals! Seems OK, I haven't swung it yet but the hatchet by Fiskars I have used and seems decent quality for the price.

Worse than walking around barefoot when they're dropping their seed pods Smilie

I'm still on Team Maul for single blows and the option to use as a sledgehammer as needed. But proper axes are so much less fatiguing. I've never tried a shock-reducing handle so that might change the game.
