Firewood Splitting Wedge

Description

The practical purpose of this unusual ‘twisted’ aluminum Splitting Wedge is that it distributes the force of a blow in two directions at once. Great for knotty hardwoods and tight-grained logs. Forged in Germany from high quality, aircraft-grade aluminum. While aluminum might seem counter-intuitive for an object that is constantly struck by a heavy steel hammer, it will give rather than splinter when struck. The tops of steel wedges tend to mushroom over time, and the resultant overhang can break off and, in essence, become flying steel shrapnel. The 45-degree twist and barbed, anti-friction guide ribs help prevent bounce-back and make driving easier. Measures 8” x 2-1/2” x 2”.

Overall rating: 4.6 / 5 from 25 reviews.

A great tool!

"I have been amazed a how this splitting wedge works. with the 45 degree twist in it, it does a great job of opening up the wood. It is a quality tool and pairs well with the splitting maul. Its edge penetrates the wood well and the light weight allows more of the strike force to be transferred to the wood. I'm glad that I purchased it along with the splitting maul."

They work good. Just not

"They work good. Just not as sharp as they need to be."

CJ L. (3/5)

Not happy.

"Weight is good. Quality is good. Edge is terrible. Unable to get it started in splitting firewood. If I had known about the edge, I would not have purchased."

Best wedges I have ever used.

"Superior to steel wedges in every way. They are easier to pound in, lighter weight, they don't mushroom out at the edge as easily and they aren't so loud when striking them. If you split a lot of wood don't waste your time with archaic steel wedges. Order a few of these and you can split almost anything."

Best wedge I own. I

"Best wedge I own. I have three more but none of the other ones are as good as this one. This is my second one of these"

Any idea when this will be back in stock? I’d like to purchase it with the current items I’ve got in my shopping cart. I would be willing to place the order now and have it shipped to me when it comes in. Thanks!
