The best oldschool Foresttools I know on the Market. Nice Video like the most of yours. Best wishes from Germany!
Thanks for watching my channel from Germany! I enjoy splitting wood with Ochsenkopf forestry tools.
Good review. I own several axes and hatches but not yet a large splitting maul. I think I will get a "Big OX" too, it seems to be a solid piece of equipment. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Greetings from Germany
I have the Stihl version of this, took me about an hour to split several pieces of knotted, wavy grain lightning struck bloodwood.... This is a beast of a maul and highly effective on 'normal wood' I scraped the paint and lacquer off and finished the handle with a few coats of tung oil. Much nicer feel in the hand after that.
I need to finish the handle like you did. A few years ago I was checking out some axes in the Stihl store and noticed they have the same ox stamp logo on it, even though it's painted with Stihl colors. Mine have held up well over the years. You just need to maintain the steel from rusting.
@@MarkThomasBuilder It's well worth the time and effort to re finish the handles.
The Stihl AX-30? Terrible axe! I broke 2 in 3 months. Absolutely awful.
Sweet maul playboy! And i didnt know you made vids...subbed!
***** Haha, thanks bro! I just passed 1K subs, so tonight I'll be celebrating with a few beers.
Wieder ein Super Video und die BigOx klasse erklärt 👌👍 ich selbst benutze sie wenn meine x27 nicht ausreicht. MFG D.Halbsguth
+Dirk Halbsguth Dank für die kommentare!
I watched many of your videos almost all of them really you make great review videos my question is what pound head is that seriously thinking about getting one appreciate the video review
Thank you! I believe this had an 8lb head and the overall weight of the maul is just over 9lbs. This is great for splitting the big rounds.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to pick one up thank you for the info
Head weighs 3.0 kg or 6.6 is pounds.
That's one bad maul dude! Good video! I see one on sale for 112.00 free shipping & might have to grab to go with my X27..
highcountryhay Sounds good! Please comment back when you get it. I'm interested to hear how it works with the X27. Thanks for commenting!
I am considering buying this maul over Gränsfors splitting maul. I have a wedge made of cast iron. I wonder if I can hammer it with this maul?
Umm, good question. I know that German tool manufacturers recommend using an aluminum wedge if you're hitting it with steel. Otherwise, some of them sell a nylon face hammer for steel wedges. The Bix Ox Maul is awesome, so I recommend it for splitting.
if youre concerned with premature wear of cracking use a cheap sledge hammer for the wedge. unless youre doing a lot of walking with the tool or tools you can bring 2 tools.
When you stuck your mullet, just lift the round with over you haed and turn the mullet 180° to hit with the rear end, usually your good to go than, far quicker than freeing the tool manually every time.
Sounds like a good plan. Better than damaging the handle trying to free it manually.
It looks really nice. How much are these splitting mauls? What kind of warranty do they provide? Thank you. Just by the looks of it I am thinking around $200
Hi Roland, it only costs about $140. I'm not sure what type of warranty is offered, I'll look into it and let you know. So far, all of their tools have held up very well to the constant use I'm giving them. Thanks for the comment.
***** Thanks
Can you do a video comparing the 630 & 635?
The 630 says it works best for softwoods. I found the 635 to be the best overall splitter between the two.
These tools look quite similar to the Stihl Pro brand hand tools. Is there any connection?
+Terry Burket Yes, Ochsenkopf makes the tools for Stihl. I looked at the Universal Forestry Axe on the Stihl website, and you can see the Ochsenkopf name and Ox Head logo stamped into the steel. The only difference is the color and the Stihl name on the axe. Logrite also makes hookaroons for Stihl.
+markthomasbuilder Thanks for the quick reply. I have used the Stihl Pro Spitting Axe and like the job it does.
I was hoping my next axe would be the Council Tool Woodcraft Camp Carver.
I just looked them up. Nice design, looks awesome!
So what does the head weigh on that maul?
savage69000 The head weighs 6.61lbs. Are you thinking about getting one?
cool video, I know that this is only a test ax but to such a small timber or splitting is too big maul, just ax 2.5 kg😉 less tired
+Cezary Romanowski Thanks! The next time I get some big rounds to split, I'll make another video with this maul and maybe compare it to a few others.
Can u review the 638H
That one looks similar. The 638 looks like it's almost 2 lbs heavier, which would make it the go-to for the tough big rounds.
If this company manufactures the stihl splitting maul as well, why is the stihl one cheaper? I'm looking to invest in a good maul while still being cost efficient and the Ochsenkopf is online for $140 compared to the stihl at $100. If I can save $40 just by changing brand labels and colors It doesn't sound bad to me; however I'm willing to spend the extra $40 if it's worth it. Hope to get a reply, Enjoyed the review keep it up!
+Alejandro Beltran I don't see any differences between the 2 mauls, other than the color. The Oxhead logo is even stamped into the head of the Stihl axe.
Alejandro Beltran Stihl le asegura a Ochsenpof que le compra un 20%, 30% de su producción pero rotulada de manera diferente y a menor precio... y Ochsenkopf acepta. Además Stihl ya tiene sus propios canales de distribución, lo que abarata el precio
THE cleaver of the dark side; Darth Maul!
Identical to the STHIL pro !
That's correct. Made by the same company, just different paint.
I did purchase today from ATG for 102.00 with promo code "welcome10" will comment how it works out in a few days.
Benutze meinen BIG OX mit großen Erfolg bei knorriger Buche und verwachsene Eiche. Massiver C 60 STAHL . Bin sehr zufrieden.
Schrecklich
👍👍👍
It's an awesome maul!
@@MarkThomasBuilder YES !!!
nice sheath
Thanks 👍
👍👍👍🤝🤝
Thanks, it's a great splitting maul.
Nice maul , sand that handle down smooth
Rub in some boiled linseed oil on it
Your hands will thank you lol
Great advice. I sanded down a shovel handle last year and it turned out nice.
@@MarkThomasBuilder yes sir I learned that from watching a wranglerstar video on axe handles ended up sanding several lol
A little expensive for a maul.
It's expensive, but worth it, IMO. German Steel will hold up well.
If you want to see how and where they are made watch this video 😉 ruclips.net/video/X5KrnULieio/видео.html
Very interesting, thanks for sharing!
the "turning hook" is called the "beard". I don't trust this wedge system at all. not to mention is crazy expensive. I'll pass on this!
+Mario Nusca I meant to say "turning nose", as quoted from Ochsenkopf.
Ochsenkopf was founded 1781. It follows the highest material and safety standards for the forestry industry.
But YOU do not trust their wedge system. Yeah.
I bought a Big Ox and it sucked, so I returned it. It's way too thick. I split only hardwood, oak, hickory, elm, cherry, but mostly oak. The head bounces out way too much. Save your money.
Danvil I disagree. I have a big ox and it works perfectly and I split the same kind of wood.
Why would you want the head to stick? It’s a separating tool, not a cutting tool.
