Splitting maul has been nicknamed “Ol’ No.7”, and will bridge the gap between the often “too heavy” 8 lbs. and the “not heavy enough” 6 lbs. versions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe new design incorporates a more compact head, with a concave-wedge shape to the blade, and wider body to give more “pop” to the split. The head is balanced from front to back, with a slightly tapered poll that can be used to “finish” a split, without having to drive the blade back into the opened split, potentially driving it further into a splitting stump or into the ground.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese design features make it a better splitting maul, as it is more ergonomically balanced, safer, and a more efficient and productive tool to use at the woodpile.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 lbs.
