    Best splitting Maul

    Mega Maul with steel handleis a good choich it looks like the Sotz,and weighs in at 14.5 pounds. I like The ChopperII,even though it does get stuck in the wood,sometimes.Usually I'll use a splitting wedge,in the knotty logs because I don't have a splitter,yet.

    Brand loyalty vs. logic
