Ed The Bearman Maul

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!!!!

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,

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.
