Product Description

Council Tool PR70M 7 lb Splitting Maul with Sledge Eye “Ol’ No. 7

Council Tool recently discontinued the 8 lb. splitting maul and replaced the 6 lb. splitting maul with a new design that will “split the difference”.

The new 7 lb. Splitting Maul has been nicknamed “Ol’ No.7”, and will bridge the gap between the often “too heavy” 8 lbs. and the “not heavy enough” 6 lbs. versions.

The new design incorporates a more compact head with a concave-wedge shape to the blade and wider body to give more “pop” to the split. The head is balanced from front to back, with a slightly tapered poll that can be used to “finish” a split without having to drive the blade back into the opened split- potentially driving it further into a splitting stump or into the ground.

These design features make it a better splitting maul as it is more ergonomically balanced, safer, and a more efficient and productive tool to use at the woodpile.
Specs:

• 7 lb. Head weight.
• 3 3/4" Bit length from toe-to-heel.
• 7 3/8″ Overall head length from bit-to-poll.
• Concave/Wedge shaped blade with a high centerline to help keep it from sticking with splitting.
• Heavy and tapered poll to balance the head from front to back with the center of mass located within the eye which increases strike accuracy and improves safety.
• Hung on a 36” straight Sledge-style American hickory handle.
• Note: Finished overall length will be slightly less than 36”.
