I tried the Atlas Log Splitter.. my first impressions were that it was of good quality amd craftmanship. After using it it cut through the logs quite easily without it being too difficult. My only issue was the weight of the log cutter itself being a bit heavy for me. Other than that a great product! I have been provided this product and asked to give my honest opinion.

I was really impressed with this axe. It worked extremely well for cutting wood and made the job much easier than expected. The blade was sharp and cut through the wood smoothly without any issues. It felt sturdy and well made, while still being comfortable and easy to use. I had no problems with the axe during use and found it to be very… Read more

reliable. Overall, it’s a great quality axe that worked exactly as I needed it to, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good axe for cutting wood.

I was a bit sceptical about this product. At first I thought the weight ratio was off when simply picking up the item. However after a few swings the weight ratio balances and the blades splits the wood without much force at all. Very happy with this product and the way it is made. Show details

This did a great job at getting through some very wide oak logs easily. I was concerned it was going to be very hard work, but the weight and shape of the head made it very effective - often one swing was enough to cleave a pretty large log in half. I was very impressed. Will be a staple for winter firewood splitting. I received this product for my honest review.

As a keen camper living in the Blue Mountains, I’m always looking for good tools to take camping, especially when we spend a week camping at the Bathurst 1000 Supercars.

logs much easier. It feels solid, well balanced and comfortable to use, and I really like that the bright orange handle makes it easy to spot around camp. My only downside is that it’s quite heavy, but overall it’s a great camping companion.

Not bad for the price though there is more vibration through the handle than others I have used. Good weight and does the job. While there are some better options out there, for the price point it is good bang for buck Received product for impartial review. Opinions expressed are my own. Show details

 Follow-up  · Answering follow up questions: Any handle durability issues? None as yet however has had little use. How was the grip? Awkward for my smaller hands however husband found it quite comfortable. How was log splitting? Not bad as long as it's not a super hard wood. There is quite a bit of vibration/feedback through the handle so definitely wouldn't use for a big day of splitting however for a few longs here and there it does the trick

It feels very solid and sturdy. The handle feels comfortable when using it and it has a longer handle which is great as it allows for a better swing. I love the orange handle as it stands out in the garage with all the other tools. It would be great if it came with a blade cover to use when it is being used, for safer storage. I received this product for my honest review.

I was recently gifted the Atlas Trade 36” 6lb Log Splitter Maul with Hickory Handle to purchase for a fair and honest review. Having moved to a new acerage property, the timing for this trial was great. We have many trees that have quite solid trunks that needed to be split. Using this axe made the job much simpler (although it is still hard… Read more

work!). Splitting the logs for fires has been great, and I love that it also matches the smaller axe, so we have a set of the 2. The quality of the handle is great, and the blade and head of the axe are nice and solid. I would recommend this for anyone needing something a little more solid to chop through more substantial sized wood (ie not smaller branches). This product was given to me for the purpose of a fair and honest review.

I liked the hickory handle, it was strong, durable and had a high quality feel.  The Atlas Trade 36" 6lb Hickory Handle Log Splitter Maul is well balanced with a good weight in the head when swinging and chopping bigger logs for firewood.

The Atlas Trade Log Splitter Maul is of great quality and feels comfortable enough when handling. My husband used it to chop up some firewood for our cabin and it did a great job. It is sturdy and powerful but is however a bit heavy. Very reasonably priced at Bunnings for the quality. This product was given to me for the purpose of a fair and honest review.

I used this maul at a recent weekend trip to our family cabin. It was going to be a cool evening so myself and a friend took turns cutting firewood. This maul is an absolute workout! Extremely powerful but at the same time extremely tiring; the axe head is quite heavy so you find yourself getting fatigued quite fast. Overall the maul was up for… Read more

Quality log splitter. Great value, felt like good quality. The only downfall was the axe head was a bit too heavy for me. My husband mentioned the same thing when he first picked it up however once he started cutting had no issues and it was very effective. I received this product for my honest review.

I found it very agile and easy to use. Its slightly longer handle and additional weight whilst not super heavy, is ideal for people of varying height and strength levels to use. It looks good, its clean, and it just works. It splits the logs easily, and does not tire you out when you use it repeatedly. Whilst more expensive than some others, I… Read more

This is a great mid range log splitter, if you’re looking for something solid & good quality but not dropping the wallet on it. The blade slices through timber and the handle is heavy and solid. A great addition to our camp setup & using at home for the fire pit. I received this product for my honest review.

This log splitter has a nice heavy head, takes a bit of swinging but the logs dont stand a chance. Also has a nice long handle to allow a good swing, but that same long handle is not very robust. Unlike an axe that gets thicker at the head this is the same diameter the whole way to the top. It actually split and cracked in my first session… Read more

using it which was disappointing cause it made the splitting relatively easy. Didnt need a big swing, just some momentum and the weight if the head. But it went back to the shop cause i was also not going to swing that weight on a cracked/broken handle.

We’ve been using the Atlas Trade 36” 6lb Log Splitter Maul for splitting firewood around the property and it’s been really good.

definitely a bigger and heavier tool, but that’s what you want when you’re doing bigger pieces of firewood. It’s made splitting jobs quicker and easier compared with using a smaller axe.

Overall, we’ve been really happy with it and it’s a great addition for anyone who regularly splits firewood.

Really solid and heavy-duty maul. The 6lb head gives it plenty of power for splitting larger logs, while the 36” hickory handle provides good leverage and feels sturdy in use. It’s well balanced and comfortable to grip, although the overall weight can take some getting used to. So far, I haven’t found any issues with it and it feels very well made.
