The Peavey Splitting Maul with Blade Guard combines a 6-pound axe-eye style head with a 36-inch American hickory handle to deliver the focused power needed for splitting the toughest logs and driving steel wedges. This American-made tool features specialized heat treatment that creates optimal hardness for the splitting edge while maintaining a tough striking face capable of driving wedges without damage.

Key Features:

  • 6-pound axe-eye style splitting head
  • 36-inch American hickory handle
  • Forged tool steel construction
  • Dual-purpose design: splitting and wedge driving
  • Heat treated bit to Rc 45-50
  • Striking face for steel wedges
  • Hydraulically seated with serrated aluminum wedge
  • Clear lacquer finish prevents rust
  • Made in USA

Specifications:

  • Head weight: 6 pounds
  • Handle length: 36 inches
  • Bit hardness: Rc 45-50
  • Handle material: American hickory
  • Handle moisture: Below 10% at assembly
  • Wedge type: Serrated aluminum
  • Finish: Clear lacquer
  • Compatible with: Council #5W steel wedges

Ideal for:

  • Splitting large rounds
  • Processing knotty hardwood
  • Driving steel splitting wedges
  • Commercial firewood operations
  • Heavy-duty log splitting
  • Storm cleanup
  • Professional tree services
  • Anyone heating primarily with wood

Benefits:

  • 6-pound head delivers maximum splitting force
  • Striking face eliminates need for separate sledge
  • Optimal hardness balances edge retention and toughness
  • Aluminum wedge won't loosen with moisture changes
  • Serrated wedge design ensures permanent grip
  • 36-inch handle provides full-swing leverage
  • Kiln-dried handle minimizes loosening
  • Dual-purpose saves carrying extra tools

Engineered for Splitting Power: The 6-pound head weight represents the optimal mass for splitting work—heavy enough to power through twisted grain and knots yet manageable for extended splitting sessions. The axe-eye design concentrates mass behind the cutting edge while maintaining the proper balance for accurate strikes. The heat treatment to Rc 45-50 creates a fine grain structure that's deliberately softer than a cutting axe, prioritizing toughness and safety over ultimate hardness. This prevents the dangerous chipping that could occur when a harder edge encounters hidden knots or frozen wood. The striking face opposite the blade serves a critical secondary function—driving steel splitting wedges when the maul alone can't complete a split, eliminating the need to carry a separate sledgehammer.

Professional-Grade Assembly: The assembly process reflects Peavey's commitment to tool reliability under punishing use. The hickory handle undergoes initial kiln drying, then the eye section receives additional drying to below 10% moisture content—well below typical air-dried levels. This two-stage process ensures the wood won't shrink further and compromise head retention. The hydraulic insertion drives the head onto the handle with tons of force, creating a mechanical bond stronger than traditional hand-fitting methods. The serrated aluminum wedge provides permanent security—aluminum won't compress under impact, expand with moisture, or shrink when dry, while the serrations bite deep into the wood fibers for an unshakeable grip. Whether you're splitting a winter's worth of firewood, processing storm-damaged trees, or running a commercial firewood operation, this splitting maul delivers the durability and performance that demanding work requires.
