The Groz Fiberglass Handle Mauls are designed to split a piece of wood into two parts. The head features a special design with a splitting face and a driving face to drive-in wedges and stakes. The rugged steel heads are forged from special steel and induction-hardened 50-58 HRC for ultimate durability. The lightweight yet sturdy dual-injection moulded fiberglass handle with a 25% wider neck provides ultimate overstrike protection. The handle comes with a polypropylene jacket for shock and vibration absorption. The handle is secured to the head using epoxy adhesive which can withstand rough usage.  The handle features a lanyard hole at the end. These fiberglass handle mauls conform to ASME standards and are used for splitting wood into two pieces by forcing the wood fibers apart parallel to the grain and for the kindling of wood.
