I bought 6bl axe to split logs for fire use. my experience is not the best in using the axe. The axe (metal part) is heavy duty I liked but the wooden handle is not as good as I expected and It brake after 30 minute use and I had to replace it with stronger tree branch.

Split about 5 - 1.5 foot lengths of wood and the handle split. Obviously defective as I was not swinging very hard. Also, the axe head was wobbling out of the box. No problem with the wobbling as I understand soaking methods but honestly I would not buy this axe again simply because of the quality control. I love the head design for mauling but there needs to be better assembly with the handle. The handle split in the middle of the axe and spidered up to the head, the top of the handle where the wedges are inserted also showed signs of broken wood.

Excellent maul - I had always used an axe for occasional log splitting but suffered with it often getting stuck in a log. You won't get this irretrievably stuck, it will either split the log, or (beware!) bounce off!Mine arrived with a very very slightly loose head (do check for this). As it says on the maul, soak the head in water if this is the case.Or, living in the west of the UK with damp air, just wait for the atmosphere to do the job before using the maul!And, living in the west of the UK where the wind blows and trees invariably grow under stressed conditions, don't expect to be able to get away with just a maul... Timber grown under stressed conditions rarely has straight grain, and trees adapt by seemingly locking the grain together into a kind of textured web. Believe me, log splitting in the South East is a (literally) more straightforward experience!For me, a proper log splitting wedge (about 8" with the finest point you can find) and a 7lb sledge hammer are an absolutely indispensable accompaniment to a maul. For a big log, preferably maximum 12" but better 8-10" high, set on another, wider log. Look carefully for a natural shrinkage split in the end grain (however small). Set the wedge carefully into the split (the reasonably fine edge on the wedge is useful here), and give a few reasonable taps with the sledge hammer. The log will split (so long as you aren't headed towards branch bases or other complications within the wood).When using the maul, the standard energy required is much higher, as having a very steep wedge shape a lot of energy is required.Take care at all times. Eye wear is required, even ear plugs, the noise level is significant, gloves, strong boots and in the past I have had experience of bashes and grazes to my shins, not funny, if a log goes awry (probably a consequence of working on rough ground, so my fault). Now I make sure I am on clear, level ground, and don a pair of cheap cricket pads, adult size, which are now part of my equipment. I don't care what the neighbours say, I am happy to share a joke; if shins take weeks to heal, as a cut with an accompanying bruise can take a while to settle down, I'd rather have a laugh as a result of wearing shin pads!

The head initially appeared and fealt tight but loosened up after about 25 strikes. The handle wiggles in the head. Before using it I treated the handle head with BLO 3 times and the used paste wax for additional protection. Now I have it soaking in a bucket with BLO and will let it soak for at least two weeks. Don't know if replacement handles are available. Before the wiggle became noticable I was very pleased with the maul's performance, feel and balance. I have several mauls and this one seemed like it was the the best of the bunch as I was getting 2 shot clean splits on 15"-17" rounds. If the head tightens up then 5 stars. If not, I suppose I could try shimming it....? Update: The head is now tight and I really like this maul.
