A ship maul, also known as a top maul or pin maul, is lighter weight and easier to handle than a spike maul and originated as a tool for striking and driving pins, wedges, and spik es in wooden shipbuilding. Ship mauls are also used in metal shipbuilding, railroad track maintenance, blacksmithing, and other jobs. The 5 lb. head features a round, 2” striking face at one end and a smaller diameter striking face at the other. It is typically matched with a 32” handle, rather than the 36” handle used with spike mauls.
