One of the best mauls I've ever used
Just got this super splitting and the forest axe, right as soon I opened the box and had to test them, and for me splitting wood for 14 years with mediocre mauls I am impressed by these tools. The handles are a few inches shorter than I'm used to, yet still comfortable to use. -
Works well, but cracked immediately
Works very well, although a crack in the handle on the backside near the head developed the first time I used it. We'll see how long it lasts. -
Splitting Maul
We recently installed a wood stove and had some trees felled on our property. My 14 yr old son expressed an interest in wanting to split the wood. He asked his friend's Dad what he would recommend. He said "The primo is the wood handle, Garrett Wade splitting maul." My son bought it for himself with his birthday money. Just when Coronavirus turned school into online learning. I am so happy he ordered it. He is out most days splitting 4 or 5 logs. It's a beautiful tool. He is doing a great job and learning a great skill while keeping his mind and body healthy during these crazy times.

Arrived with a possible crack in handle
The mall I received appear to be everything that was advertised but somehow I neither shipping or handling it appeared that the heavy Hickory handle had been cracked in a couple of places so I contacted Joe at customer service we had a long conversation and he's taking care of everything so I look forward to actually using the tool when the new one is shipped to me but on receipt it appeared to be exactly as advertised and should be a worthy tool. -
Excellent value. Head could be seated better
I will give a 5 to the head quality and steel and a 4 in hanging the axe and workmanship. Excellent quality for the money just as every tool I have purchased from Garrett Wade. The head started coming a bit loose after a few uses which is not good. However it seems to be secured well and nothing that cannot be repaired easily. I typically split oak, pine and cedar. Fit and finish is superb. -
Green white oak
Split 1/2 cord of green white oak with no problems. Loved the shorter handle and light weight, I went on almost without a break. With my old 8lb. maul I would have had to stop several times and showered too. Great splitting tool. -
Awesome Maul
Amazing, I am able to power through big logs with knots, no problem. Best maul I ever owned. -
Splitting maul
It is a nice splitting maul but the first time of use the head was starting to come off a little and it got a little split on the red guard down the side but splits wood great -
The best!!
Works better than any other mail I have ever used and I have been splitting wood for 50 years -
Doesn't work by itself
Although it won't work unless you swing it, I recommend this maul. Good, long lasting edge..excellent weight and balance. An excellent tool for splitting rounds. Such an improvement from using a sledge hammer and wedges. I'm glad to own this maul.

"Super Splitter" is an ACCURATE Description!
This Garrett Wade Super Splitter Maul is an excellent tool for the price! These mauls are made for the Garrett Wade house brand, but do not make the mistake of assuming that, because they are a house brand item, that they perhaps don't measure up. The construction on these mauls is every bit as refined and durable as one can find on axes and mauls produced by big-name European makers like Bruks Fors and others! From the perfectly balanced and turned hickory handles, to the keenly-honed cutting edge, these mauls will make short work of the knottiest hardwood rounds. I lopped through a half-cord of white oak in a weekend, splitting 25" rounds into quarters for the wood burning stove I keep out in my workshop. The edge on the maul held up beautifully and the balance when swinging was like a dream! I especially like the feature of the red steel collar that extends just below the head of these mauls. No dented, splintered handles? Yes, please!! I used to use a cheap, $40.00 maul from a local big box store. What a difference a couple extra bucks will make! That old, junky maul cost me half as much as this Super Splitter, but I got what I paid for...in spades! That big box special came from the store dull as a butterknife, necessitating a couple hours of grinding and honing by me. It was unduly head-heavy, with terrible balance and the shaft broke clean in two after one season's use. The Garrett Wade Super Splitter maul is heads and tails above anything you'll find in a local chain store! The craftsmanship and design of these mauls is worth far more than Garrett Wade is charging for such high quality tools. I, for one, am proud to wield a tool with the Garrett Wade name on it, because I have witnessed firsthand the quality and value of their products. You won't go wrong investing in one of these mauls! -
Great tool for the woodshed
I bought the pro splitting maul as a present for myself and I love using it. Makes short work of splitting rounds. Weght and balance is excellent, handle vibration minimal.
