Axes & Mauls help you turn logs into firewood, clear brush, and tackle rugged yard work with power and control. From compact hatchets for camping to heavy splitting mauls for stubborn rounds, this lineup covers wood cutting, felling, limbing, and log splitting across lawn and garden projects.
Know your types. A felling axe features a thinner blade for cutting across grain, ideal for trees and large limbs. A splitting axe uses a wedge-shaped head to open fibers with less sticking. A splitting maul adds mass—often 6–8 lb—to drive through knotty hardwood, and pairs well with steel wedges. Hatchets and camp axes pack easily, handle kindling, and double as general outdoor tools.
Choose the right fit for comfort and productivity. Match head weight to your strength and task: 1.5–2.5 lb for hatchets, 3–4 lb for felling axes, 6–8 lb for mauls. Pick handle length for leverage and accuracy: 14–18 in for pack use, 28–36 in for yard work. Hickory offers classic feel and shock absorption; fiberglass or composite handles add durability and weather resistance. Look for secure head attachment, overstrike protection, a textured grip, and a protective sheath.
Sharpen and care for long life. Maintain a consistent bevel with a file and stone—keener for cutting axes, more convex for splitting. Keep edges lightly oiled, remove sap and pitch, and store dry. Treat wooden handles with boiled linseed oil and inspect for cracks before use.
Work safely and efficiently. Use a stable chopping block, stand with a balanced stance, and aim through the wood, not at it. Wear eye protection, gloves, and sturdy boots. For tough rounds, start with a splitting axe, then drive a maul and wedges to finish the job.
Explore our selection to find the best axe or maul for firewood, homestead tasks, camping, and year-round outdoor projects. Today.
