What is your favorite/best wood splitting MAUL ????

At 70 with a bad ticker, I prefer the one with a gas engine on it

I love the Sotz and have used one for over 30 years. Great maul but it is heavy as Hell. The Fiskars is about 4 pounds lighter and has a great blade design, plus, fiberglass handle is lighter than solid steel. You can get better maul speed with the Fiskars.
I still have my beloved Sotz, but, I don't use it much any more.

I have a sentimental attachment to the Sotz. After reading so many reviews on this forum, four years ago I broke down and bought a Fiskars. I hate to say it but the Fiskars is better than the Monster Maul.

I certainly don't disagree. My point is I rediscovered my old Monster Maul this spring since my log splitter is out of commission. Eventually, I will get a Fiskars but until then the orange monster still works.

The Sotz works great! It is a great maul. The problem is the Sotz is so heavy. So you can get the same result with less work with the Fiskars.
