I have been splitting logs using wedges and 16# sledge hammers since the 1980s. I have quite a collection of wedges, but this wedge does more and is quicker than the others. After I received the 1st one, I ordered another although it may be some time before it is needed. This wedge is long and very sharp at the tip, which may account for its splitting qualities. I have buried 4 wedges in a gnarled, fibrous log and rescued them with this one. From heavy use, the only signs of wear are the label stickers and the paint job. I can only wish that I had this wedge back when I started on my 1st log.

I split a couple of rounds of locust today. I used this wedge to rescue my regular wedge when it got stuck. I tried to split a couple of pieces starting with this wedge, and it would just bounce out of the round. The wedge that I received did not have the same taper as the picture now. I think the edge has something to do with it bouncing out. I am happy with this wedge as a companion for my other wedge. I think I will paint it orange tomorrow so it is easier to find at quitting time. Happy splitting!!!

this was a real steel made product, used it many times now, its never failed me yet. it 's been a real help in spitting wood that I couldn't spilt before, It's made of great steel that stays in shape. It splits wood real easy.

I used this wedge to split some small walnut logs and after I split one with it and got a feel for it it was really fast and easy to use. I'm buying a couple more to use on larger logs.
