From Council Tool:
- 6# axe-eye style splitting maul with a 36″ American hickory handle.
- Forged tool steel head, Made in USA, with clear lacquer finish to deter rust.
- Heat treatment of bit end produces fine grain structure and Rc 45-50 (Rockwell) for safety and toughness.
- Striking face is intended for driving steel wedges (Council # 5W) that are used in conjunction with splitting logs.
- 36″ hickory handle is kiln dried before turning. Eye section is then dried below 10% moisture content prior to assembly.
- Handle is hydraulically inserted into head and secured with a serrated aluminum wedge, providing a very secure mechanical bond.
** This is a standard axe so grain orientation is not guaranteed. **
Customer Reviews
Great made in the USA splitting maul!
Balanced, hard hitting great design
Amazing thank you for the quick turnaround
Either the axe blasted through the wood on the first chop, or it bounced off on the first couple chops and eventually blasted through it. My first impression is that it needs a thinner bit profile for the type of wood I split so that it bites the wood better (I'm comparing this to a 6 lb splitting axe that I also have been using).
This maul puts any hardware store maul to shame. It effortlessly works its way through anything I put in front of it. Mesquite, oak, and pecan. The pecan of central Texas halts most of my axes in their tracks, but the ole number seven pushes it aside with ease! I’d recommend this to anyone.
