Estwings Fireside Friend

Best Axe For Splitting Wood

A splitting maul is a huge sledge hammer with a pointed axe head. Featuring a longer handle and duller blade edge, a maul bluntly splits wood through sheer force.

• Forged In One Piece - Durable, longest lasting striking tools available
• Wood Splitting Made Easy - Weighted wedge makes chopping logs and firewood a breeze
• Heavy Duty Sheath - Includes ballistic nylon sheath to protect hand sharpened cutting edge

Fireside Friend Splitting Tool

Estwing's Fireside Friend Splitting Tool is forged in one piece. The length and weight give leverage and power for easy wood splitting. If you need firewood for staying warm during the winter season ahead, you're going to need a good wood splitting tool. Splitting tools are designed to create smaller chunks by splitting wood fibers apart.

• Solid America Steel
• Hand Sharpened Edge
• Shock Reduction Grip
• Nylon Sheath Included
• A weighted axe specifically designed for splitting
• Made In The USA – Our tools are proudly crafted in Rockford, IL using the finest American steel
• Shock Reduction Grip – Comfortable, durable & reduces impact vibration by 70%

Easy To Use

The original maul resembles an axe but with a broader head, for splitting wood. It also causes nearly no part of the wood to go to waste. More wood means less splitting and enjoying that wood in your fireplace for a longer time.

Built For Power

The best splitting maul will have a large, heavy wedge-shaped head. Swinging the large heavy head will produce a great force focused into the blunt V-shaped head. The dull blade is still thin enough to find its way in between the wood fibers and with the thick head of the maul.

Comes With Comfort

The handle length and weight give leverage and power for easy wood splitting. The grip is a beautiful genuine leather. Maul handles are normally straight and closer to round with a elongated oval axe handle, built for maximum control and comfort.

Durability

Estwing sheaths are built with durable ballistic nylon construction with reinforced stitching, offers safety and protection for your Estwing tool. Its button fastening and belt compatible design makes for easy carry around item.
