A splitting maul has one simple purpose: to split wood. The INTERTOOL HT-0275 serves that purpose, with a heavy-duty wedge-shaped, 5 pound head made of high-quality tool steel. The splitting maul's flat poll serves a dual purpose sledgehammer with immense driving power. The 32 inch handle grants extra precision, leverage, and power to each strike, sure to split even hardwood timber. The durable fiberglass handle absorbs impact shock, while its rubber inserts prevent slipping even in wet conditions. The maul is well-balanced and features a secure epoxy resin head-to-handle joint. Plastic sheath is included for safe storing and transport. Red-and-black contrast coloring helps locate the maul quickly even in tall grass or underbrush. The end of the grip features a hole for hanging.
