Best splitting maul no axes

[RI Chevy]

A LOT.
$190

Damn! Hard to justify when the x27 is like $50 or $60. I'd swing someone else's though.

B itch is pretty though

I looked at it as an investment. Gett'em while you still can. Pass'em on to generation to generation.
They do swing real nice though. It hits better than the Fiskars X27. Much better metal. If you split by hand, then treat yourself to that Splitting Ax. I will use the Splitting Ax for 90% of all my splitting. They are really that nice.

The forging on the maul is perfection.

I’ve seen some nice custom heads out there just hard for me to buy things like that online without really looking at them. I know the gb stuff is supposed to be chrome. If I was into it I wouldn’t be afraid of buying online from them

Not in yet. When I get it I will try and do a video of GB, Fiskars and regular cheap hardware store maul. [emoji2]

When we get a video of you beating

I did a real quick one. But I need to get a good stick so I can do a decent comparison. Just trying to find the right tree. Lol
Plus its COLD as hell out.

Need a side view of those cheeks. If they taper and are narrow where they flare the widest then thst seems like it would get stuck.

I have a similar one, bounces off knots.
Compared to my favorite ax it requires a lot more swing force to go through anything, knotty or not.
It likes to get stuck in straight grain rounds, I'm talking splitting oak.

It feels like a failed design to me, but it may work for others and/or other kind of usage.

Can't attach pictures of mine as I'm not on my desktop PC.

I've used axes like that before with mixed results. You get a softer wood and you can sink the axe and those flare cheeks don't help because they narrow. Makes for a good stuck axe. Not worth the money savings IMO. YMMV

Home D and Lowes have those head styles on fiberglass handles. I used one for a few years. They work well in hard wood. No problems at all. But I broke the handle from the head. Not because I hit the handle on wood. I am just a heavy striker. I bought the Fiskars X27 after that.

Eff that. I could do more worm with a 6 or 8 pound maul than that anchor.

LOL. That thing is heavy. I am already getting back pain just from looking at it. LOL
I found that the faster swing speed splits much better than the big heavy headed mauls. A lighter weight tool with faster swing speed will win out along the course of a day. I can swing them all day and not get tired, verses swing a heavy one for a short while and getting fatigued.
