This is by far the best hand-held maul you’ll find.

This little guy dies the trick. I can split huge logs with this and a sledge.

Great tool for splitting previously cut and split logs w/o maul. Heavy wt helps split even dense live oak. Well made; one piece metal head/handle tolerates heavy duty use without visible damage, wear ‘n tear.

Very sturdy, should last forever. Great on smaller logs. I have also used on large (20″d x 24″long) tough, dry oak that I couldn’t even start with regular wedges, by using this and a sledge to crack enough to be able to use wedges and finish up with a monster mall. Great little tool.

The splitting tool worked just as described.

I like this thing. It’s effective, well made, and there’s no reason it won’t last for many years. I use Estwing hammers, so I knew the level of quality I could expect.

Does an excellent job of splitting kindling-sized pieces of wood from small- to medium-sized logs at the hearthside. May seem heavy at first but that weight helps making the splitting action easier. Absolutely love my Fireside Friend. It’s a quality tool all around.

This beautiful little tool is perfect for splitting enough kindling wood for a campfire or a fire place….. gave the one I bought to my son-n-law….. I have watched him use it, and am now planning on getting me one that matches my “Double Bit Axe” (hatchet) for me….. I feel like Easting calls it an “Axe” because it performs as an axe….. but….. it is only the size of a hatchet…. wonderful little tool….. as is the “64oz Fireside Friend Splitting Tool!” Perfect for fireside work….. You will not be disappointed!
