Maul.

[pie eater pete]

Axe for me bout depends if your swinging it all day. Don't believe you have to splash out a fortune on one either as some will say. Mine was £25 and I'd put it up against ones costing a lot more.

[jacjak]

use both but the maul seems better for bigger stuff

Axe the straight stuff, maul for the rest. Agree that the cost is almost immaterial though I wouldn't buy the fibreglass handle ones of either!

looking at the gransfors axe and maul, there about 90 quid! may look for a slightly cheeper option
