I split a lot (as of 10 cord plus/yr), most of it

and have reset (not replaced) the maul handle 3 times.

Yes they work and yes, the rubber gets stiff but
it still comes off and goes back on without a problem.

Were these fiberglass handles you'd been breaking?
With splitting, I'm sure there is no way to avoid
banging the handle up near the head. Glad to hear
that a good rubber helps keep you from breaking the
head off, while you're banging and splitting.
