I split 8 to 10 cords of wood per year. Mostly I split by hand for the exercise. Im 66yo. I need a new splitting maul and my wife said to buy a quality tool. She knows that real money could be spent and then some. We looked at the Gransfors Bruks splitting maul last weekend. The head of the maul is a real work of art. The tool really felt good in my hands. I have never had a maul with a wood handle, only fiberglass. The only problem I have ever had with a maul or sledge hammer is to have the heads come loose. I used sledge hammers and axes for 38yrs at my work. The handles were all wood. I never did break a handle but had a lot of heads come loose. What tool have you had good luck with and what would you buy if you were in my position. Ive looked at the Helko,Stihl, Ox-head , Husqvarna etc etc.
Performance and reliability and quality are tops on my list.
Thanks
