After spotting this at Princess Auto, we decided to give it a shot. It’s made of solid wrought iron, and while you could build a DIY version with scraps and an old axe, this store-bought cutter aims to simplify the job. The design allows you to place a log in the frame and split it down using a hammer. Seems easy, right? But does it actually work well, or is it just another gimmick?

Upon unboxing, the tool appeared slightly repackaged—was it a return? The metal frame was sturdy, but the welds were questionable, with some visible porosity. However, first impressions aside, it was time for the real test: splitting wood.

We tried it out with various sizes of wood. The concept is simple—you place a chunk of wood in the cutter and strike it with a hammer or mallet. The built-in wedge helps guide the split, reducing strain compared to traditional axe chopping. But is it practical for everyday use?

One key takeaway—bolting it down would improve stability. While it works as intended, the lack of sharpness out of the box means you might want to sharpen the blade for better performance. For smaller, drier pieces, it handled well, but larger chunks required more force. If you’re dealing with seasoned wood, you might find this tool quite useful, especially for those who want an easier way to prep kindling without swinging a heavy axe.

Final Thoughts:
This tool could be great for someone who needs an easier, safer way to split kindling, especially if they don’t want to use a traditional axe. However, it’s best suited for smaller pieces, and securing it to a chopping block would enhance its efficiency. Is it a must-have? That depends on your wood-splitting needs!
