6 lb Maul- Can't beat the price!,

"I needed to replace the handle on my old maul. I split alot of wood (ALOT) and it was time to put a new handle on. After pricing just handles out, I couldn't believe the price of this complete maul! It was cheaper than me buying a replacement handle alone.
The maul is a bit on the dull side (the angle on the edge needs to be increased a bit), but this is true of every other maul I've ever purchased. A little grinding and fine tuning, and I'm busting my way thru oak, hickory, beech...... you name it. So far this year, we have put out over 150 pickup loads of wood and still, we don't use an automatic splitter. I do whatever needs by hand, and this tool does the job.
Do yourself a favor and get a fiberglass handle. If you miss a few times, nothing to worry about. I break pieces into quarters while they are still together, and often smack the handle over the piece closest to me. No problem. The fiberglass handle takes the abuse."
