I taught my daughter how to use a maul when she was about 14. She loved it. Stuck some safety goggles on her, pointed at the pile, and went to stretch out on the couch. Everything was good until she came in to show me she busted the maul head off the handle.

I started renting a splitter for the day at the beginning of the season for a day or two. Worked a lot better.
I'm pretty sure that's how my dad came to owning a monster maul. I was destroying wooden handles until it arrived

So let me get this straight....You are married. You own a log splitter. Your wife split some wood voluntarily. Your wife went outside, without you having to say anything and fired up the wood splitter and split some wood? You sir are my new hero!
And I thought I was lucky when I found a woman with poor eyesight who was also a poor judge of character

My wife, mother-in-law both like to split using the splitter. Ours pivots, you just have to get the wood positioned.

Wife likes the exercise. Always wanting to help, split, stack etc. Father-in-law and I cut, guess it's a family thing.

BTW, every axe & maul should come with a fiberglass handle.

Father-in-law once told me about using one that had a metal handle. You only missed once.

I think it was Eskie that said it was an attractively ugly mod. The gunmetal does appeal to me. Thinking I might need some of that attractive ugliness in my small collection of mods.
