Title: Maul or Sledge Hammer?
Review: I have split firewood with an eight pound splitting maul for 13 years and love it. My son, who is 14 wanted a lighter one so that he could split with me so I bought him this one. It does have a nice handle but the head is pathetic. Neither one of us could reliably get the thing to split logs. One of us would swing it and it would just dent the log. I would switch to my eight pound and the log would split. I compared the two and there is not nearly as much taper on the the Truper six pound as there is on my eight so I took a grinder to it and tapered the head to match my older maul. The maul splits like a dream now.If you're having trouble getting this maul to split consistently try having more of a taper ground into the head, something Truper might want to do from the factory.
