Channellock 4.5# Maul

Needed a break from driving the desk today, so on my lunch break I ran over to the "not Ace" hardware not far from my day job.

They had the Channellock brand 4.5# splitting maul. Seemed like it was similar to the Fiskars, and all I have is a Harbor Freight 8# maul, which is overkill for all the 4-6" limbs I need to split

Y'all have any thoughts? It was $39.99 at the local hardware.

4-1/2 lb Rapid Maul - Channellock - UnoClean

 

Good looking tool , I will be waiting for a performance review

 

Looks OK. Buy it and try it out and give us a review. Might have to change your avatar to a guinea pig though.

 

They have a factory in Pennsylvania, wonder where this maul is made. Nothing on the Channellock website.
Edit: found it on channellockproducts.com Seems they separate the US made products from the rest with a different website.

 

Does it have a no questions asked lifetime warranty like the fiskars? Pretty spendy if not. I’ve used that warranty on a couple fiskars products. One of them I found in a dumpster…

 

Judging by the Channellock website, I doubt the warranty is as good as Fiskars.

 

That is what I noticed too, hard to find on the regular website.

 

NEVER!!!!

I will stick with the Skunkworks, since everything i do is usually a little bit off!

 

When I hear Skunkworks, this is what comes to mind.

 

I know nothing!

 

don't like the profile of those splitters. The initial angle is too thin and it gets stuck a lot in hardwood.
