This Truper is a Trooper,
November 2, 2009
By KaribouKid
from SE Idaho
"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!"

12# Splitting Maul,

"The splitting maul I just purchased is my second one. My first maul, after years of service finally failed. The steel handle snapped off. You can abuse this maul and still get years of good service."

"I needed a heavy axe for wood I was cutting for winter. Somenone suggested I use a maul, so I started checking around and found your site. I bought your maul and have been very happy with it ever since I got it. I would highly recomend this tool to all my wood cutiing friends."

Inadequate,

"the handle is too short to swing effectively. Useful as a wedge, but not as a maul.
Well, maybe if you are no taller than 5 ft 2 inches, but I am 6 ft."

"I have used this maul to split several cords of wood. I use a 5 pound axe for the smaller pieces and use the maul for the big stuff or problem pieces. Most big pieces split with one hit, maybe two. A longer handle would be a nice upgrade. The rubber grip needed some glue to keep it on. Overall it does the job and has kept me from buying a $1,000. + hydrolic splitter"

great splitter,

"this maul works great for splitting firewood. the only flaws i found with it are the handle seems a little short and the foam grip will slip a little after swinging for awhile. otherwise the tringle head and the 12 lb. weight really help power through the wood without getting stuck in those stubborn pieces."

Had trouble with large hard wood,
August 14, 2008
By Falc
from MA
"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."

Unwieldy Tool,

from Upstate NY
"Great splitter for a younger person. Extremely heavy & unwieldy for the retired set to accomplish a full,effective swing. Returned for the 6lb. fiberglass handled Truper splitting maul,"

Excellent tool; Minor shortcomings,
June 9, 2008
By FH00
from Albany, NY
"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."
