This is a Beast of a Splitting Maul. I basically wanted a Maul that would last forever without worry of needing to replace the handle and I believe this is exactly that. It is kind of spendy but if it lasts forever, well worth it to me. It is also a little heavy but when it comes down that helps the wood split in less swings. The handle also absorbs the impact very very well. So if you miss and hit the handle just under the head of the maul, it doesn't send the shock so much down to your hands.

This is the second time bodily damage has occurred using Wilton products.Both times were my husband but I will give the details.1st time:Husband was using a smaller sledge type hammer at work (he is a diesel mechanic). Part of the head of hammer broke off and shot into his leg. He ended up having to go to hospital and have surgery on his leg to have the piece of metal removed. Still has the scar, still has pain in the leg on occasion and we probably still have the hunk of metal that came out of his leg.2nd time:Husband was using Maul to slit wood. Handle bent causing injury to shoulder and hip area. This one he has not gone to do the Dr. for and probably just pulled muscles, but it has been a few weeks and he is still having problems. This could have been much worse though which is why I am writing this review.We did not and have no intention of suing anyone, My husband is in very good shape physically and knows how to use these tools properly. The damages were strictly defects in the product itself. The handle should not bend while splitting wood, a chunk of metal should not break off and shoot into someone's leg. All in all, I would say they need to do some better quality assurance testing and figure out where they are getting their metal from. Poor quality metal = poor products.

I’ve owned this maul and the Wilton 20 lb “Unbreakable” Sledgehammer for about two months now and damn, these tools are tough! I split wood by hand weekly and have probably done 4-5 cord with this set so far. They are very rugged built. Love the grip, I’ve never slipped on the handle once. Overstruck on a couple swings and they just laughed it off. On really big pieces I’ve used this maul as a wedge and bashed it with the 20lb sledge and the maul has held up incredibly well to the abuse, very little impact on the top from all the beating. The rubber is starting to crack some near the top but this seems to be purely cosmetic damage. The circular black plastic thing on top popped off very quickly but I could care less, again, just cosmetic. My only gripe is that the handle flexes. With my old maul that had a hickory handle when it got wedged in a stubborn piece of wood I could use it as a lever to pry the two apart. Not with this maul. It well bend. Must be something to do with the “unbreakable” technology of the design. Other than that a phenomenal maul. Hope to be using it for a long time.

It came very fast and has a great feel to it, I starting using it and was splitting wood fast, Very easy to split and I didn't have use as force as with other mauls

I am the perfect candidate to prove whether the "unbreakable handle" really is. Between my impatience, and lack of aim, I ruin almost as many handles as split logs. Having spent a few hours splitting jackpine with it, I can say that, yes, it appears the unbreakable handle *is* as stout as they claim. I probably missed my mark, and instead clobbered the handle, half a dozen times; it appears no worse for wear.The 8lb head makes short work of seasoned wood. It is kinda heavy for me to lift, so it is all about momentum for me, and stopping with the tendons in my shoulders tell me the day is done.Will likely buy other "unbreakable" Wilton products, as I need them.

This is an OK maul, but there's a problem in my opinion. The thing that gets me is that there is a hard core in the handle and a more rubber like exterior which is good except I find that it slips around a bit on the harder part of the handle. So I find that I have to adjust the rubber part of the handle a bit to get it square with the head. If they could put something in there to keep it from turning it would be perfect. Other than that it has zero vibration and the head seems to be of decent quality.

Probably the most extreme maul short of the 12lb varieties that are unbalanced and vibrate like crazy. Overall it is 10lbs. You can definitely notice the difference when you pick up an 8lb. maul. With a traditional 8lb. maul, most of the weight is in the head. This one feels heavy all over. However, physics is in your favor when using it. Make sure to wear steel toe boots and glasses, as it blows apart difficult pieces. I bought mine used, and it was sharp. I can see where people many think it is not sharp, as the cheeks are very thick that abruptly come to a point. The taper is not as thin as a Fiskars ISO core or a more traditional axe. You will not mess up the overstrike area for a very long time. The green paint my chip off, but the maul looks great after splitting many rounds. Other mauls I've used are not so lucky, especially the ones with a rubber overstrike guard. I'd recommend building yourself up to this, as you will tire quickly if it is your primary splitting device. I'd personally get a 6lb. maul than work your way up this 10lb. monster.If you have any issues with the head separating from the shaft, make sure you contact Wilton. They will take care of you, and replace the unit after some paperwork and photos describing the issue. It was a pleasant experience using the warranty.

Updating my review, as I've had this for over a year. See my picture of the head & handle, holding up well even with some overstrikes.This is really the ticket for splitting wood, I've tried a number of splitting mauls, and this is THOR's hammer. I split a whole lot of wood, as I heat my house with wood. So far, I've split approximately 20 cords of wood with this, and even with a number of overstrikes, the damage is hardly noticeable. Head is secure, this seems like a tool I'll split tons and tons more wood with, and it'll continue to take and give punishment.Note that I really put this to the test, I split very large wood, so much of the time I'm delivering punishing blows to 20-30" rounds of oak, maple, etc. I'm about 210 lb, 5'10 . I'm not just splitting the small stuff like many people may be doing.Pros:- Handle (so far) is indestructible, I would have broken a hickory handle by now, and fiberglass probably woudn't be in great shape- Contrary to other reviews, mine came out of the box nice and sharp, maybe I got lucky, but no sharpening needed- Very well built, this will last me lots more yearsCons:Not a con for me, but be careful, if you are used to a 8lb head on a fiberglass handle this is a LOT heavier. The handle has steel rods in it that adds a lot of weight. This weighs 12lb easy. So, if you aren't a strong man (or woman) you may want to look for the 6 lb model.
