JBFab said:I purchased a Fiskars splitting maul last year,
I am extremely impressed with this unit, it cost me about $40 USD, but worth every penny. Very light, and I see no way that the handle could possibly be broken, its actually some type of light gauge metal.

I use the standard hardware store 8 pound maul, I too like the idea behind the Vario but the wood handel is a big no no, make it fiberglass like Haywire Haywood said
I would like to try a monster maul but I can not find it locally, which means shipping it with tends to cost as much as the maul itself. I found a smaller 8 pound version locally but if I am going to buy one I want the big one.
Doctor Dave said:I've broken fiberglass handles as well as wood. Then again, I take my boy scouts cutting firewood to raise money for camp. They are harder on handles than beavers on willow trees. I dop like the feel of a good hickory handle better than fiberglass. If they would just hit the round (or wedge) with the head ...
I'd like to find an all-metal monster mall for them to use; however, it might be too heavy for some of them. The Scouts are actually most useful for forming a line to load and unload---13 and 14 year olds just aren't used to hard work (like splitting) for more than 10 min at a time. Now, back in the day...

Dam I want to find an good AXE so how do you think that 12 pound monster maul works???

Let me clarify - I don't have the Helio - RaisedByWolves does.
That does look like the right one, though. Same head, fiberglass handle. That's what I would like to get for the smaller stuff. It would be a luxury purchase for me at this point, though.

I got my monster from Iron & Oak. Bailey's sells one, too. I sure love mine. 30" handle is the only drawback. I'd like to try one in 36".
Either way, it hits with authority. Took a bit to get used to the weight, but I'm glad I did. I needed the exercise.
Iron & Oak has a small one, too, for kindling. Handy for my boys, but I'd like to find one in between - they could swing that pretty well, I think. Something like 6-8 pounds with a 24" handle.
Hmmm. They're a small outfit.... Maybe they'd make one...
