Wood Splitting Maul 17” - 3 lb. Axe and Sledge Combined - Forged Steel Head - Splits Wood Better Than Camp Axe or Hatchet - Kindling Splitter - Rubber Sheath

Wow, great camp wood splitter. I bought this as an inexpensive substitute for my Fiskers hatchet. Didn’t want to beat it up in the back of a trunk or camper storage box. This little maul is very very good. It splits the wood much better than my Fiskers hatchet. And my Fiskers hatchet works good. But the maul wedges on the side take care of business. Buy it, it is worth buying and having.

it was heavier than i figured, just what i needed. very good tool

Works well good wait to it just needed a good sharing. It is worth the money

Good balance and hefty feel. Be clear, this is not designed for chopping but for splitting. I wanted something good ad both. It is heavier than most hatchets. It is good for splitting, though nor as good as a good splitting wedge. It is good for starting a groove for the heavier wedge. It is durable and excellent quality but not sharp. It is not designed for sharpness, blade shape is wrong. Pic shows it beside a similar size hatchet and see how the hatchet has a much more slender blade. Even sharpening will not make it much better at chopping. I do like the strong handle and its length.

This is a good quality small splitting maul, not a hatchet. Splitting mauls are not typically sharp. This one hand Maul is not made to chop down trees or cut "cross grain"on logs. That is what a🪓 Hatchet or 🪓 Axe is made for. That's why this small maul is not sharp. If you want it hatchet sharp then go ahead and sharpen it. I have been using single bit and double bit Axes and Hatchets, and 8lb, and 6lb splitting mauls for over 65 years. I have always heated my home with wood. This is a very good small splitting maul, and works great for what it is designed for (splitting kindling and small starter wood pieces). I have been using it daily since purchasing it from Amazon. The wedge incorporated onto the blade sides expands the end grain of the wood quickly, 🪵 and allows for Splitting with less downward swing, and force . Creating a much safer split . Yes I recommend this 👌. Would loved to have had one 65 years ago 😀.

Great hatchet for making kindling for the wood stove. The large splitting cheeks on the axe head help tremendously and make the logs pop open. Quality is good and it holding an edge very well so far, the balance is very good and helps drive the head through the wood.

Tool is a mix of usable and unusable. Handle would be good if it were a hatchet otherwise too short which does not allow enough kinetic energy to be generated by overhead swinging to split wood. Using it as a light Maul with wood splitting wedge works fine. It would be good for splitting chunks for firewood though this could also be done with a hatchet or an axe. Price is reasonable.

This is great, made well, and heavy

Excellent maul for the money! Quality product

A little heavy for splitting kindling but works good as a sledgehammer splitting maul. Not quite big enough for splitting larger logs without sledgehammer. Smaller logs up to 8” works fine on its own. Would be nice to have a belt axe version. Very durable and should last a lifetime. As a sledgehammer splitting maul I give 5 stars.

good axe for the price

Good quality, light weight and does the trick for beginners doing kinling.

It's a beautiful little "hachette " it is not a splitting maul. A splitting maul has a much longer handle. Sadly I'll be returning it
