7 lbs Splitting Maul with Sledge Eye “Ol’ No. 7”

Council Tool recently discontinued the 8 lbs. splitting maul, and replaced the 6 lbs. Splitting maul with a new design that will “split the difference”.
The new 7 lbs. Splitting maul has been nicknamed “Ol’ No.7”, and will bridge the gap between the often “too heavy” 8 lbs. and the “not heavy enough” 6 lbs. versions.
The new design incorporates a more compact head, with a concave-wedge shape to the blade, and wider body to give more “pop” to the split. The head is balanced from front to back, with a slightly tapered poll that can be used to “finish” a split, without having to drive the blade back into the opened split, potentially driving it further into a splitting stump or into the ground.
These design features make it a better splitting maul, as it is more ergonomically balanced, safer, and a more efficient and productive tool to use at the woodpile.
Specs:

• 7 lbs. Head weight.
• 3 3/4 in. Bit length from toe-to-heel.
• 7 3/8″ Overall head length from bit-to-poll.
• Concave/Wedge shaped blade, with a high centerline to help keep it from sticking with splitting.
• Heavy and tapered poll to balance the head from front to back, with the center of mass located within the eye, which increases strike accuracy and improves safety.
• Hung on a 36” straight  Sledge-style American hickory handle.
• Note: Finished overall length will be slightly less than 36”.
• Also available in Axe Eye (SKU 70M)
