IsoCore Maul, 36 -in, 8 lb

This maul really does the job. It's heavier than a normal axe and is the first maul I've owned. I occasionally get it stuck in the a piece of wood (usually a larger chunk), but am able to use a sledge hammer to finish the job. With the durability of this thing (I have missed the piece of wood and it vibrates my hands, but doesn't show wear on the maul) I expect it to last a long time. It cuts cleanly through the wood and has made splitting wood for camp fires a lot easier for me!

I like this maul. So far it works really nicely for me. It's been nice to tidy up the yard and split some wood for the fire pit. This Fiskars Pro IsoCore model is an eight pounder. It is pretty heavy for me, but you need that force usually to get a nice grain split in the wood. I like the grip because it doesn't hurt my hands. I also like that it has a reusable blade edge cover. It's molded so the head doesn't detach. There is also a nice blunt side on the back of the head. The lifetime warranty is also a plus. This tool will definitely be handy.
