This thing isn't a redneck splitter, it's an urban splitter that only has the ability to split 10 inchs and smaller for city folk who burn 3 inch pieces in their Walmart patio fire pits. Don't bother trying to split tree trunks and what not with this as it will not go in because it's pushing it for ways. I have this and a conventional 2 way no frills splitter. My basic one spits far better then this one. If your like me and need to split large stuff skip this and get a 2 way.
