The Maul is excellently located in the hand, is well balanced and can be targeted in the skilful swing large pieces of wood in the order of 70cm X 60cm column, if they are not verastet.
In combination with the Fiskars rotary gap with Safe-T Wedge Fiskars 120021 Rotary riving knife Safe-T, weight: 2400 g is even in difficult pieces of wood a safe columns quite possible since there is no impact of metal on metal occurs.
(Iron - hammer on iron - riving knife)
I have the use of iron wedges in combination with a metal Spalthammer weitgehenst set as the fragmentation effect of metal parts is simply too large.
If one uses the Fiskars Maul and Wedge Fiskars, both have indeed the polymer plastic heads, the column is a delight and on top even safer.
No metal splinters that could fly away.
Also the wear of the blow heads, both at the Maul, as well as in the polymer riving knife is lower by 90% than if you skin plastic on metal. Fiskars 120021 Rotary riving knife Safe-T, weight: 2400 g
In addition, the plastic tradition of the blow heads as a spare part Fiskars replacement attachment for rotary-riving knife SAFE-T (120021) and Maul SAFE-T X39 (122150) available and the used plastic heads can be with a big screwdriver - pry puller away from the head.
Buying I can highly recommend.
And:
Quality has its price up!
