How to replace splitting maul handle

A wooden handle splitting maul replacement is necessary in case it cracks and break, mostly when it is dry. A cracked maul may cause injuries when it breaks if one is using it. Therefore splitting maul handle replacement is done with another wooden handle or with a fiberglass handle.

Preparation to splitting maul handle replacement

Initially, cut off the extra wooden handle length using a hand saw. Leave about a quarter inch on the bottom of the head of splitting maul before you cut.

When the handle is already cut, open up the vise grips so that the opening is wider than the width of the handle. 

Then drill a number of ¼-inch diameter holes on the wood that is wedged in the maul. The holes help to relieve pressure from the wedges that push the wood against the head of the maul.

While holding a chisel in the middle of the wood, tap it using a hammer in order to press off the cut handle off the head of the maul. 

Finally, displace the head of the maul from the vise and clean the maul hole handle to remove any grime and greases. A clean surface ensures that the handle holds more firmly to the head of the maul.

Installation of a new maul handle.

To begin, insert the new handle from the downside of the splitting maul into the hole. While the maul head on your hands, tap the downside of the handle against a hard surface until the top side of the handle is uniform with the surface of the maul.

Next, rub caulking cord sealer in your hands so that it can warm it up and line it well to the maul handle. Wrap the sealer on the handle surface that meets with the maul head. 

Flip the head of the splitting maul handle with the handle such that the head of the maul faces upwards.

Then mix the ingredients of the epoxy in a container and remove the clip then squeeze the bag on the hands for some minutes in order to properly mix the epoxy

After mixing the epoxy, spill the mixture in the middle of the fiberglass handle and the maul head. Go on pouring the epoxy until the epoxy if fully intact on the surface of the maul head and the handle.

Lastly, set the replaced splitting maul handle in a dry and cool location to enable the epoxy to heal. You should not use the replaced splitting maul handle until when epoxy cures.
