This firewood splitter is really heavy duty and works great. It makes splitting wood fast and easy. What used to take me 30 minutes to do I can do in 5 minutes, and is a lot safer for your fingers. Well worth the money. Wish I had this long before now. I would buy again, but it probably is going to last a long time as it is excellent build quality.

This is the best ever. I have a hydraulic wood splitter for firewood, but had always used a camp hatchet or axe for kindling, generally not with great success. I just hated making kindling and often resorted to finding small sticks to use instead. I burn wood in our farm shop daily during the cooler/cold months, so use a fair amount of the stuff to get fire started. This thing makes it easy!!! Just take a piece of split wood and you can make four to six smaller pieces out of that one stick of wood. Really easy, safe and issue free. Works equally as well on green or dry wood. I usually use dry wood from the wood pile to make kindling and it is harder to split, but not with this little gem. One tap with hammer and it "seats" the wood, then one or two good whacks and it's done.

I'm a senior NH lady who runs my wood stove all season and this tool is THE BEST! I can "crack" enough kindling in 15 minutes to fill my needs for three days and I'm not a big muscle-bound person. I use a small 3-lb sledge and don't have to use a lot of force. The unit is small and light enough to pick up and turn over if a piece of wood gets stuck and needs to be pounded off from the bottom (this doesn't happen often). Piece of advice -- it works (for me, anyway) for the cracker to be up on a small stump. I have it pegged down using two heavy headless nails, so I can lift it off to store or turn it over, but the nails stop it from jumping around as I "crack". Works like a charm! Is 100% more reliable than the electric wood splitter I bought first and had to return.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband, who is very hard to impress. He loves it! He used to hold the log while swinging an ax to split the wood. (Very dangerous!) Now he can place the log in the splitter, and use a mallet to hit the log. It splits easily! Much safer way to make kindling or split logs. I would definitely recommend this product!

We bought this to teach our son to split kindling and find ourselves using it just as much! It is safer and quicker than splitting kindling by hand - its great for wood even when its still wet. Nice and sturdy. Its cast iron so we plan on treating it and keeping it covered when not in use so we can keep it for a long time! Worth the price.
