Husqvarna 32" Splitting Maul Review

[Woody5506]

I think where I get hung up with it is when swinging at those higher speeds somehow my back doesn't particularly like it. Last year I pulled some weird little muscle back there and every time I picked up the x27 after I thought it was healed, it would gradually start bugging me again. Pick the heavier maul up, and no issues.

It doesn't make a lot of sense that a lighter 4 lb. head would aggravate it more than a 8 lb. head but medical issues are highly personal. It could be a unique injury that is, for whatever reason, less sensitive to a heavier maul. With most aches/pains/injuries, the lighter head weight will cause less stress vs. a heavier maul. But apparently not always.

I would guess it is the increase in speed, or a slightly different motion with the lighter tool, or possibly a longer range of motion with the lighter axe that doesn't get used with the heavier maul.
