This Truper is a Trooper,

"These kind of splitting mauls are not for the faint of heart. They really give you a workout but they do what they are designed to do - split wood. The head never sticks and never comes loose. One should last a lifetime. I'm on my second - ran the first one over with the tractor and bent the handle all to heck!"

Had trouble with large hard wood,
August 14, 2008
"It tore through the smaller stuff, but so did my regular maul. I bought this for the big stuff. 16 inches or wider. I found the maul bounced off the wood and the handle wrap slid off the item consistently. The shorter handle negated thsome of the benefit of the heavier maul head. I returned it because my old standby was faster and easier to handle. Granted I could have glued the handle and worked the edge with my file but I knew after 20 minutes it was going back."

Excellent tool; Minor shortcomings,

"This splitting maul is the best I've ever owned. However, I was disappointed to find that the handle wasn't the standard length. The handle is a standard one inch pipe, but I found that the handle has a small hole drilled near the end under the handle grip. After cutting that off with a pipe cutter and running it through a pipe threader, a mere 1" coupling and a pipe nipple easily extend the end. I slid the grip back on over the nipple, and it works like a charm."
