terrymac Report post Posted December 26, 2010 A few months ago, I posted a thread asking what was the advantage of a maul vs. a mallet, especially for someone who had used a rawhide mallet for 40+ years. Well, Santa Claus brought me a 16 oz. "Bob Beard Special Maul" made by Ed the Bearman, and now I know. Since this is the first maul I have ever used, I can't compare it to other makes, but I don't see how any could be any better. It is a beautiful tool, and the balance and control are outstanding. Thanks Ed, you did good!!!! Terry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UKRay Report post Posted December 26, 2010 You are a lucky man! I'm beginning to think I really NEED one of Ed's mauls... Anything (and I mean anything) that improves my work can only be a good thing! LMAO I currently use a Tandy maul, but the handle keeps coming unscrewed from the head. I've lost count of the times it has caused me to miss-hit a tool. Ray Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terrymac Report post Posted December 27, 2010 Ray, I can't ever imagine this maul coming apart. I don't think the head is screwed on to the handle, rather the whole thing is being held together by a full length bolt. I promise you won;t be sorry if you get yourself one.
