Razor-Back® outfits their Splitting Maul with a forged steel head. This 8-pound head has both a splitting edge and a machined striking face. This maul features Razor-Back's® Safe-Lock™ anchoring system. This patented head-to-handle connection has a steel pin reinforcement to maximize strength and safety. The 34-inch handle has a solid fiberglass core and a soft grip to dampen vibration. They shape the end of the handle like a baseball bat, allowing for a more secure grip. The Razor-Back® 8-Pound Splitting Maul is an excellent choice for both professional and personal use. Using it in conjunction with a wedge makes splitting wood a breeze. Just make a notch with the splitting edge, then drive in a wedge with the striking face. When strength and durability are a priority, professionals turn to Razor-Back® tools. This splitting maul combines safety with efficiency, making it a perfect choice. Razor-Back® assembles this tool in the USA and backs it with a lifetime warranty!
