http://www.traditionalwoodworker.com/product_info.php/products_id/1677 I was wondering how this beast works before I get it ???
Note the slightly convex taper on the above heads from the handle out to the blade edge, especially on the big 12-pounder. I found that to be be very important, and my 8-lb maul also has that shape. With a concave taper, the maul head will often stick in the log, and that drives you nuts--often requiring a sledge hammer to knock it loose.Id keep the cash all your doing is bustin wood
theses are the 2 I use, less then $50.00 into the both of them and they crack wood as good as anything, I wood consider it a $100.00 waist of saw money
:chainsawguy:
6 pounder for the easy stuff
12 pounder for the no so easy stuff
yea it is a lot of money but the iron sleeve seems like it would protect the handle well. If I added the cost of all the replacement handles for my 6and 8 pound mauls it just might equal the cost of that maul ! I just want some user feedback before I spend 140 If not iam going the route of the welded pipe!
I have an old monster maul that has been used many years. Never has it broke a weld. I even run over the handle with a truck years ago and bent the handle a little. I know it's heavy but it cost a lot less than 140 and will not break. You can still buy them but i don't think their as good as the old ones. If you do all your splittin with a maul[i used to] then it may be worth it. I would want to see one and handle it before i dished out that kind of money.The handle looks bent worse in the pic. the other one i made myself out of an old maul someone threw away.
LOL, I hope you're handle is straighter.you have the exact same monster maul I have. Same color and everything.

Note that the head on the expensive maul that was posted appears to have a slightly concave taper, and in my book, that's a no-no.
