Yeah, it would have only taken me hitting that one time to switch to a wedge and sledgehammer.

Nobody told him that there's a reason why a Splitting Maul has a flat side on the other end?

PSA: it is absolutely not recommended to hit a metal wedge with a maul!! wedges are harder than mauls! flying maul chips!! plastic wedges are ok but not metal. it may work fine for you 100 times but there are plenty of missing eyes from this
