Maul

A maul (or mall) is a heavy, long-handled hammer used for splitting a piece of wood along its grain, or as a weapon. One side of it is identical to a sledge hammer and the other side is an axe. A typical maul for wood splitting will have a head weighing in region of 8lbs (4kg). Mauls have a wedge-shaped head and the cutting side resembles an axe but with a broader head. For splitting wood, this tool is much better than a typical axe. The weight of it is more advantageous and due to its width, it's difficult for it to become stuck in the wood.
