What is mauls?

Mauls are a type of heavy-duty axe often used for splitting wood. They have a long handle and a heavy, blunt head that is designed to deliver a forceful blow to the wood, rather than cutting through it. Unlike traditional axes, mauls have a wider blade that helps to wedge apart the wood fibers, making it easier to split logs. They are often used in forestry, farming, and construction work where large amounts of wood need to be processed. Mauls can be made from steel, iron, or other alloys, and may have a wooden or synthetic grip on the handle. They are an important tool for anyone who needs to process large amounts of firewood for heating or cooking.
