COUNCIL TOOL Splitting Maul - 7 lb Axe Eye Maul with 36" Straight Wooden Handle & Forged Steel Head - 70MA

Nicknamed “Ol’ No.7,” this 7 lb splitting maul from Council Tool is designed to strike the perfect balance between too-heavy 8 lb models and underpowered 6 lb versions. The compact head features a concave wedge blade with a high centerline to reduce sticking and improve splitting efficiency, while the wider body adds extra force to each strike. A tapered poll allows for clean finishes without driving the blade deeper into the wood or ground. Balanced with the center of mass in the eye for improved accuracy and safety, it’s available with either a 36" straight sledge-style hickory handle or a traditional axe-eye handle to suit your preference. Built for control, power, and long-term reliability at the woodpile. HANDLE NUMBER - 70-36S-B
