Absolutely great tool that will get you though anything! So much better carrying a maul instead of sledge and an axe. It performs better than a typical axe and the wrap with rings gives you better grip and control. I went with the 32” and it’s perfect for myself. It doesn’t drag or get caught if it’s in my truck belt. I did go a little excessive on the sand and shredded my gloves but I put another coat of the grip paint on and it’s perfect now. I wish I would have grabbed the lanyard strap as well just to have it but works well without! Couldn’t be happier! Invest in yourself and get one! Well worth the money!!
