Splitting maul

Splitting head is great and easy to keep sharp but the handle already has stress fractures all the way down.

A beast of a tool

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).
