STAY WELL CLEAR!!! My well meaning father in law bought me one-the steel is such poor quality it's impossible to get any kind of a lasting edge on!!! My gets used as a door stop now that's all it's fit for.

Hm I notice you split a lot of logs in the vid with it Gary...

The previous fibreglass models were very good. These not so good.

[White Noise]

Hickory handles are good . Worth a punt .

[Alycidon]

Would have thought the fibreglass handle would be better, little chance of breaking the handle or the head coming off.

 

Should splitting mauls be sharp ?, stupid question maybe, I bought a cheapie from B&Q a couple of years ago, got an edge on it 2mm or so wide leading straight into the splitting wedge. I did touch it up a bit with an angle grinder but not sufficiently to be called sharp.

 

I have bought a cheap vernier gauge from Aldi for a sport I am involved in, prooved that it was measuring incorrectly when checked against my Mitatoyo. Aldi would only exchange not refund. So not going there again on principal.

We've sold loads of cheap mauls over the years and most of the 'hickory' ones are nothing of the sort. We don't touch them now. Only fibreglass.

...That's the great thing about Aldi. You can do all your family shopping, then buy something to chop the family up with afterwards.
