I don't know how well this would work without sharpening. I sharpened mine before the first use. It works pretty well but makes a ringing noise that probably wouldn't be there if it was more solidly built (or used on a softer surface or maybe if it was bolted down). All in all though, for light use this is great for the price if you're ready to take tools to it to make the blade sharp.

This makes splitting logs easy and a one person job. The cover provided feels waterproof. The frame itself is heavy and thick, it will not get blown over.

This works well & is well made. We mounted ours to a large chunk of wood that we used to use for splitting. You can use it without mounting but it will be frustrating & tippy. This really does make splitting small pieces of log into useful pieces for the fire.

I have to say that I was a little doubtful about whether this would be a really useful tool or another gimmick. Well, it works better than expected. It makes splitting logs for kindling easier and safer.The splitter is not sharp, but it has no problems splitting the firewood. Just set the piece of firewood with a tap and then use a mallet to hit it. Depending on the type of firewood and how well it's seasoned, it may take a few good whacks with the mallet to get it to split. I had no issues splitting the firewood - even really knotty pieces split. Yes, it took a little more effort, but it was much easier/safer than trying to split with a maul/ax.The splitter is stable and well made. It comes with a cover to protect it when not in use. It has screws in case you want to mount it on a log, so it's up off the ground. I'm just using it on my porch next to my firewood. I appreciate that I can split firewood with minimal effort with this tool.

Initially I was quite skeptical about buying this wood splitter. It is the knockoff of the Original Kindling Cracker, usually sold for about $150. Obviously for the price it's a good deal. I mounted two 16" 2x4s under each leg and it seems to work good as a base, plus you can use your foot to hold it down while you crack some kindling up. It does come across as quite "flimsy". Time will tell if it truly holds up. Hopefully it last a while

Much smaller than I was expecting it to be. Regardless of the size, it is all that my family needs for our tiny outdoor fireplace.

This splitter is going to save my back!! It’s so easy to use and I wished I had it years ago!

I really like this wood splitter. Its perfect for splitting up the pecan for my outdoor cooking. Its also going to be really handy this winter when its time to make the syrup!This wood splitter is also great to take along with you camping.

I got this to replace an old manual log splitter that I HATED with a passion. This thing is a million times better. I used it today to split up several logs into smaller pieces and kindling pieces. It was super easy. The only trouble I had was with the larger logs. The initial split in half is a lot harder. Once you have smaller pieces to work with, it becomes much easier. I recommend for the larger pieces, once you get it started, flip it upside down and slam the rig down on top of the log. Made it much easier to make that initial split.I wish I had this years ago, makes things so much easier! Love it!

My neighbor rushed over to see it when he seen me setting it up. Showed him the safety features like the strong metal construction. How the blade is far from the safety ring on top. The inverted "v" helps prevent kick back by "grabbing" into both edges. He then grabbed the worst twisted and knotted fireplace wood I have ever seen. A couple wacks later and the wood was split. We then tried a straight piece to see how small you could effectively make pieces of kindling. We were amazed both tests passed with flying colors. If you have a wood burning stove or fireplace or anything you need to split up kindling for, then get this. I am thinking not only would this be great for home use but also for camping. All the kids want to split firewood. I get nervous letting the children use my axe and slightly guilty to tell them "no" especially when they are older. With this device they can join in splitting kindling with almost no danger of hurting themselves and I can put the axe away. Just put the wood in the top circle, use both hands on the sledge hammer a pound or two and its done. The only downside is now all my neighbors want to borrow it.
