Mine broke while splitting oak. the links to fiskars' "warranty contact" and the "general contact" don't work. how can i get warranty help?

I contacted Fiskars via phone and uploaded photos of the damaged blade. They sent a new one out right away! Start your claim here: http://www2.fiskars.com/Customer-Service/Warranty-Claim-Form

Is this a good axe to fell medium to larger diameter trees?

It is NOT an axe but a wood splitting maul( blockbuster in Aussie speech). To fell a tree you would be much better off with a chainsaw. A purpose built felling axe such as a Plumb, Kelly, Gilpin, Gransfors is the alternative but you would need to be very skilled and fit to use one No doubt Fiskars would manufacture good felling axes but the Iso Core is not suitable for felling.

How does it compare to the popular fiskar x27?

It's a different altogether. I own both and the maul is a heavy beast! I like that that 8 lb maul's Iso Core handle absorbs vibration much better than the X27mif the wood you are trying to split is tough like twisted elm and you need repeated strikes. The X27 is a shorter and it is a much lighter axe(not a maul) to swing making it great for splitting straight grained wood. The 8 lb maul is great for splitting large rounds it is my favorite maul for heavy splitting.

36 inches is very short, is it not?

No. Swinging a metal and fiberglass yard-stick is not as easy as you would think.
