Axe Eye Maul saves lives, "Ol'No.7" workes better than old 8lb. maul

"Ol'No.7" is my first axe eye maul. I have been extensively using my 8lb. maul for over two decades. Long ago, I had to get some wood split quickly, so used my 8lb. maul even though it was due for a new handle. It is on its fifth or sixth handle now after all these years. When I swung that maul really hard, I instantly noticed I had only a light stick of wood left in my hands. The maul head went airborne. Afraid to look up I covered my head with my arms and prayed. After what seemed like a long time, I heard a thud, looked forward and saw the maul head had returned to earth, not on my head. Axe eye mauls give the attachment to the maul head a lot more friction area, and probably much more taper inside the head to hang on tight. Finally I have an axe eye maul to make me safer. Performance wise I compared the "Ol'No.7" to my old 8lb. maul and to my brand new FE8. The shape of the "Ol'No.7" makes it work very much better than the 8lb. maul of old, when the log is tough to old 8lb. would bounce off, the "Ol'No.7" will stick into the wood even if the wood does not split. "Ol'No.7" is awesome up to logs about a foot and a half across. Bigger than two feet across is where the FE8 beats the "Ol'No.7". I am proud to have "Ol'No.7" ready to use. My old 8lb. with my custom shaped edge for efficiency, which over decades has served me well, is retiring now.

The Ol’ 7 will be a good mail addition to the suite of axes.
