Using It in Practice
The blade is intended to split logs into four sections, with extra cuts possible when smaller pieces are needed. The description also refers to use for kindling for wood burners, fireplaces, fire pits, chimneys and camping stoves.
For best results, position the log over the blade, tap it lightly with a suitable mallet to hold it in place, then strike to split the wood. The pre-drilled mounting holes help keep the splitter stable on a suitable base.
Before You Decide
Confirm that your logs are a suitable size for this manual splitter and that you have a stable stump or work base for mounting. If you want powered splitting or larger log capacity, a different type of splitter may be a better fit. Check the included setup and mounting arrangement before choosing an offer.
