Inexpensive Maul

[CountryStyle]

I just wanted to post some pictures of a maul I purchased from aliexpress.com for about $27. It is all stainless steel and nylon. When I got it I was actually impressed with the quality. It is a smaller maul, good for tooling. It is shown next to the medium sized maul I bought from Tandy. It took about two or three weeks to come in, but I think it was a good deal.

Thanks for the heads up, looks a good deal worth bookmaking for later purchase

Cheers

How Heavy is it, compared to the tandy Maul?

[CountryStyle]

For its size, it has a good heft to it (it is solid metal and nylon construction) but relative to the Tandy maul, it is lighter.

[St8LineGunsmith]

well that is actually good to know because even the small Al Stohlman maul can weigh on your arm after swinging it a while a lighter maul can come in very useful when using seeders and other stamps that can penetrate through lighter weight leathers.

and I just dont like using mallets or heavy mauls for stamping.

if i need more force I can always swing harder

How do you like it for tooling? I saw this awhile ago and was on the fence about purchasing it!

I have now used this maul to make two wallets and I absolutely love it. Perfect size for general tooling. Doesn't get too heavy for the repeating tasks yet is heavy enough to give a good dead blow for say basket weave.
