Best & Worst Steel Maces To Buy On Amazon 

Okay thanks for the info, ya I got in the habit of saying “cast” mainly from looking at how kettlebells were made and, now remember one of my other engineer clients (Palmdale,CA is all aerospace engineering) telling me about lathes with maces. Thanks for the feedback - will be sure to put out more in the future 👍

Sure thing, and thanks 👍

Sure thing, and thanks for supporting the book👍 Happy Father’s Day

Thanks, Been definitely thinking about doing that since it’s been a commonly asked question on the differences between it.

I have one and love it - its longer and with plates on the end seem a bit more intimidating and that makes for a unique workout with it.

I love Kabuki, have their TransFormer Bar and Pain Pill / Boomstick for body tempering. That’s good to hear because when I first heard of it in 2015 - the handle looked way to short and do notice they make them longer now.

I tried to order a CAP mace on Amazon and it said they don’t ship that to my area in checkout (that was first to see). Then I ordered a Garage Fit one…and it’s been two weeks and has not come. So there’s a lot of bad management from these companies. But yes, I’m big into steel caps for mainly the longevity. Incline Steel Mace was first I saw plastic caps with years ago and rust came pouring out it. It’s a the biggest sign of cheap mace.

@@CoachVikingVaughn steel cap = welded cap?

Retrospec is still very solid. Sure thing👍🏼

Sure thing, and thanks👍🏼

same

I have a yes4all kettlebell 50 lbs and it's solid as heck no issues.

Good to know - I’m likely going to do a part 2 on this reviewing more brands to keep this relevant as this video is almost a year old now.

Happy to help, and thank you for the kind words.

Sure thing, I’m planning to add a Amazon Best & Worst Steel Club edition soon 👍

That’s a sweet deal. I’d get a 15lb too if they’re running that cheap now.

Sure thing 👍 and yes I sent it back for a refund first thing after published this video.

Buy nice or cry twice.

I’ve only heard from friends say that SFS had smaller diameter handles, and then started using the same Chinese production houses as Onnit to correct that issue. So can’t fully verify that - but am planning a part 2 with this including more brands on Amazon. But the handle diameter is the same with TACFIT and Onnit. TACFIT feels rougher in a good way with their powder coat with better grip and friction around the knurling - as Onnit’s coat is a bit more slick and not as aggressive on the knurling side. So if you were doing more complexes with a medium sized mace…onnit be good. If you’re looking to swing heavy….TACFIT. Both are good.

@@CoachVikingVaughn thanks I appreciate your respond

Ya, the only difference from the two was TACFIT’s knurl was more aggressive. But Retrospec is still a very solid pic, and that makes more sense money wise.

Thank's Craig for your opinion, and Coach Vaughn for affirming. I've placed an order for 10lb Retrospec. This one should serve my purposes. If I really use it and get proficient with it, I could spend the savings here and upgrade to a 15lb.

15lb

@@CoachVikingVaughn thanks

Yes is a Chinese Communist company, so you aren't going to be able to lawsuit them.

@@SSN515 Another good reason for the imminent Chinese eradication. Sad about the poor souls in that regime that didn't ask for it.

Ya, that’s what I thought because they don’t have a official website and all their photos are horribly edited with maces. In the photo with my rack you actually see it’s a sledgehammer the guy is tire striking and they just placed a mace head over it. Lol Another reason to buy USA made steel 🇺🇸

@@CoachVikingVaughn I always endeavor to do that. I'll even pay extra.

TACFIT’s is a bit more gritty - as Onnit’s is bit more smooth finish. Retrospec is still a very solid pic though if you’re looking for a better price between the two.

As stated in the video, plastic end caps (3:58). This is a major sign the handle is of poor integrity from the 8 years I've bought, trained, and coached, with steel maces (specifically, this happened when I got an "Incline Steel Mace" in 2017). When the plastic cap eventually pops off from use -- this allows for more debris and moisture to rust it from the inside out. So not only with it slowly warp over time with tire striking; it will implode out the debris after every strike. You can clearly see the photos by reviewers stating these exact issues on the Yes4All Steel Mace Amazon page by clicking on the 1 star reviews for factual basis. The Onnit steel maces I've used have taken a beating for those 8 years with me and training sessions because their solid quality end caps. Secondly, do I really have to say a company that doesn't even use actual photos of their steel maces (more so, used mine ripping off my steel mace rack 1:45) and uses poorly edited photoshopped ad images . . . is a crap company to buy from?

@@CoachVikingVaughn So you're saying it's going to slowly warp over time because it's going to rust from the inside. Ok, that makes sense. To avoid this, I will grease the inside of my 4 All Steel Mace. The advantage of a removable plastic cap is that you can ballast the Steel Mace by putting stuff inside, and replace the plastic cap with something else that you screw. Thanks for your good work.

😆 thanks

Very common question I’ve been getting for years, and educate people on the clear differences here in this video: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4FyGC8chXPY.html&pp=ygUZQ29hY2ggVmF1Z2huIHNsZWRnZWhhbW1lcg%3D%3D
