Product Information

Totally up to you, they are sturdy enough to work fine freestanding and than can be transported, but there are holes if you want to screw it down as a permanent fixture. Please note, when watching the video it is showing the smaller version in action, this is the larger one, but the concept is the same This is the original and patented wood splitter. Crafted in an Australian foundry from high-quality cast iron.

Tell your friends and family about my idea so we can help prevent them from chopping their fingers off with an axe. All of those claims about not much force needed to use this wood splitter? Completely true. Compared to the others that I tested, particularly the manual ones designed for kindling, this one required the least amount of effort. The clever way in which the wedge is shaped enables a force-free process. This is the original and patented wood-splitter. Crafted in an Australia foundry from high quality cast iron.The blade isn’t as sharp as the blades on some of the other wood splitters that I tested, but, according to the company, this is an intended feature – due to how the wood splitter is designed, a sharp and potentially dangerous blade isn’t needed.

Which makes it the safest way in the world for you to cut kindling, you will be impressed with how much easier it is to cut kindling too. Using this wood splitter is simple. You place your wood through the ring at the top, and then hold it steady while you tap it a couple of times with something weighty. This embeds it into the wedge. Then, hit it with a bit more strength a few times to push it down the wedge, and, as it moves down, it will split into smaller pieces of kindling. As soon as you hold this wood splitter in your hands, you can feel its quality. This is a very sleek-looking, single-piece item that has been made entirely from cast iron. It features a round cast iron frame with a cast iron wedge in the middle – this is where the blade is. The opening at the top of the cast iron frame measures 6.5 inches, which should be enough for the average log, while the whole unit stands at 12 inches tall. It’s relatively compact and, unlike many of the other wood splitters out there, is quite quaint and charming to look at. It’s not something that you’ll have to hide away after each use – it’s almost a decorative item in itself. I used the Faithfull FAIFG4 4lb Club Hammer with this wood splitter, and found it to be the perfect weight and size. However, you could also use a mallet, or even a heavy piece of wood – so long as you have some weight in your hands, just about anything would work.Built to last from a solid piece of top-grade recycled cast iron, it’s so safe and simple children can even use it with supervision. If well cared for, your grandchildren will be able to pass down to their own. The only maintenance it needs is a bit of brushing off and a touch of paint from time to time to look like new for generations.
