Good value. Works much better than an ordinary wedge.

I have a bunch of ash rounds that were impervious to my wedge. This worked well and now I'm really sore.

It’s very easy to use, simple tool to get the job done. It’s a little hefty but it wouldn’t be a good buy if it wasn’t. It’s not very sharp but that’s fine did the job I needed it to do. Very affordable and a good quality product that helped speed up splitting logs.

It is a good heavy tree rounds splitter, but soft. Iron, not steel, I suspect.

I spent a morning splitting wood with two of these wedges. I used a heavy hammer and was able to split about 1/2 cord of logs fairly easily. It isn't effortless, most logs required 4-5 hits before they split, less if there was an existing crack and more if there were no cracks.Notes:- The metal they are made of is fairly soft. I left hammer marks in the top (flat side) from the first strike with a hammer and the tip was blunted after a few logs. I likely is a good thing, since you wouldn't want them to be brittle (and thus likely to break), but the blunted point did start to be less effective.- These can be hard to control. I often had the wedge start to go in at an angle, which made additional hammer blows difficult.- It was common for the wedge to fly of in a random direction when the log split. You have to stand fairly close (unless you are using a sledge hammer) and I had to leap out of the way when the log split to avoid the falling wedge. If I wasn't fast enough the wedge hit my leg or foot. These wedges are quite heavy and when one hit my foot point down it left a nasty welt even though I wore boots.- I was splitting some dry pine, which were 12-18" tall and the largest logs were 24" across, without much problem. Some of the larger pieces required a fair amount of effort (sledge hammer) or using 2 wedges to to split. I imagine, these will not be as effective with uncured/green logs.

Very disappointed I didn’t look locally unfortunately, just being honest as it is much more defined with splitting grove’s and progressive ridges/ tine’s on compete unit.Home Depot has the same but much better splitting ability, just as heavy/ strong at cheaper cost and better product.

Well, I'm almost 80... live in Alaska.... and sometimes need to split wood. Sadly, can't do it like I used to... so I looked for something that would allow me to still split wood when needed, even if the old bod... says ... not anymore.Well, we won. Tried it on some dry sections, and ... got 'er done. These were VERY seasoned sections, so I can't comment how it'd do on fresh wood... But, for what I needed and used, it fit the bill.Didn't use a smaller hammer as suggested as I only had a sledge... worked just fine. Did have to drive it all the way in, before it split, but from then on.... easy peasy.... didn't bring the sledge from way over my head either... can't... just used "chest high" hits, and it did the job. Probably more powerful hits would've split the wood faster... but, the swings I used... were able to split the wood.Just removed it from the split pieces and moved on to another one.

This is a great tool to have on hand for splitting when you decide to tackle the bigger two man size 30" plus diameter logs. I bought this one along with an Estwing splitter. Those logs ate the Estwing and I had to use this one too get it out. This splitter did not disappoint. I'll be returning the Estwing. This splitter stays. I had some oak that the neighbor took down last winter. We just rolled the logs under an overhang and covered them. Got to splitting them this weekend with this splitter and a maul. This splitter did a real good job of turning those monster logs that the maul would just bounce off of into manageable pieces. I'm hoping it lasts a bit but I've only used it for this weekend. But it looks sturdy.
