Looks interesting. He seems to be splitting clean wood. No knots and straight grain. I'd like to see it work on white oak or maple with knots.

The best maul is made by Fiskars. I used to use mauls and wedges and sledges. The Fiskars splitting axe is usually a one shot deal through most wood up to 20" in height and it only weighs about five pounds. Puts the 10# mauls to shame. I blow through birch to the chopping block like it's not even there. The red oak is little harder but it is nothing like the old days with a standard maul I've had the Fiskars blow through wood

That’s what I use. The best :)

I like my Iltis Oxhead splitting axe. It’s not quite a maul but it goes through most rounds like a hot knife through butter.
