needs better construction
swung this fokos once and it started to wiggle, when i asked about things i could do to fix it the wood splitted and the handle became unusable. probably should be made out of better wood. also the spike on mine came sharp. really unsafe trainer.

Neat little Fokos. Heads not so offensive looking or too heavy to use. Head fits great on a sledgehammer handle if desired.

I should also note that the finish on the wood (I thinks it’s an oil stain) comes off
