Great for demanding wood splitting, the Fiskars Pro IsoCore 6 lb. Maul helps you take on tough jobs while reducing muscle fatigue and joint pain. The patented, industry-leading IsoCore Shock Control System absorbs up to 2X the strike shock and vibration of wood handles. A dual-layer handle captures any lingering vibration. Its forged premium steel head features a splitting face for forcing wood apart and a driving face, for striking with another tool to help drive the wedge. Optimized blade geometry blasts tough logs apart, while an inseparable, riveted head won't slide down or snap off, even when swinging with maximum force. A performance handle design fits comfortably in your hand and features a pronounced handle flare for security. Strategic handle texturing helps improve grip while reducing blisters. This design has been tested to exceed U.S. standards for striking tool durability to withstand the toughest work environments.
