RoyalLeatherDesigns Report post Posted September 4, 2013 I am a newbie and would like the help from a more experienced leather worker. I am fixing to buy some mauls, I heard from various people it is much more comfortable on the wrist and you often get better results vs hammers. Well my question is what weights would you buy. I want to buy all I am going to need now because I am able to now and don't know if I will tomorrow. So I don't have a problem buying 3 or 4 of them. I know they can be around 70 to 80 dollars each. If anybody knows where to get a better price without compromising the quality let me know the site. Please don't forget to recommend the weights of the mauls I need to purchase. Thank you, Ralph GOD BLESS! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harrington Report post Posted September 4, 2013 Look on the site for Beary's mauls. Barry King also sells some on his website, I have 3 Kings and they are great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bruce johnson Report post Posted September 4, 2013 Another maker to consider is Wayne Jueschke. I use a 12 oz, 16 oz, and 32 oz the most. The 16 oz is pulled most of the time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
medsar Report post Posted September 4, 2013 +1 for Beary's and Ed's craftsmanship in all of the gear they have on leatherburnishers.com I have been happy with my maul and burnisher from them. They are a definite buy. They will help you with the proper weight of maul. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

camano ridge Report post Posted September 4, 2013 Not necassarily, it depends on the type of work you do or want to do with them. I use a 16oz and 24 oz for most of what I do. If you decide to go with Bearman Mauls give them a call they will ask questions regarding the type of work you intend to do and make weight reccomendations. You will find people using a wide range of weights again it is a personal preference thing as well as based on the type of work you want to do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightingale Report post Posted September 4, 2013 I have a 16oz. Beary maul that I use for everything. There was a poll on this site a couple of years ago (I think) where everyone posted their favourite maul weight, and 16oz. was first. I do mostly fine tooling on dog collars and belts, but I could see that you might want a heavier one if you're doing saddles or some such. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
