This 14 in., 4 lb. splitting tool, is no doubt a Fireside Friend. This Estwing solid steel tool is forged in 1-piece and has an attractive blue UV coating. This tool is ideal for splitting logs along its grain. The shock reduction, vinyl grip provides comfort and the handle length and weight of the tool provides leverage and power for easy wood splitting. You get two tools in one, a maul which then wedges out to a sharp axe. Protect your eyes from flying particles and dust. Always wear safety goggles. Bystanders shall also wear safety goggles.

My buddy has one of these and suggested I get one. It’s solid metal so no dealing with broken handles. 4 pounds has some good weight to it, but not too heavy…..you can swing it rapidly without tearing your rotator cuff. It makes kindling really easily out of logs and it is just big and strong enough to split good sized logs if need be. Really happy with it and would get one if you have a fireplace or wood stove. It took me 10 minutes to make a whole bin of kindling.

Great tool for us, bought one for home use and one for all of our camping trips. This tool lives up to all of my expectations and more. Having the added weight, it easily splits kindling and small logs with one swing. I have no negative issues with this product whatsoever.

You get what you pay for. This brand has always been excellent. This splitting tool not only chips off small branches, it provides the needed mass to drive felling wedges into large chainsaw cuts.

This thing is awesome. Get this and a two pound hammer and you can split any log with ease.

Very nice woodsplitting tool. Fantastic for making kindling out of larger pieces. Sharp edge, ergonomic and the blade has a protective sheath. I did purchase the 64oz. Estwing Blacksmith Hammer which I use along with this tool – sort of like a wedge/hammer. The two tools used together work extremely well. Both items come highly recommended.

I bought this to split wood for my bbq and it works fantastic. I use combined with a 2 pound sledge hammer and can split the hardest of dry wood. I strongly recommend this tool for wood splitting.

Great companion tool for splitting partial logs and making kindling. Well-balanced with enough heft to do the job!

Well made metal handle doesn’t chip or splinter as a wood handle commonly does. The handle also aids in splitting when your aim isn’t exact. The weight of the head makes one handed operation easy yet creates enough impact to get the job done. A must have for anyone with a wood burning stove or fireplace. This was a gift for my son after owning one myself for over a year. Made in America was a nice plus.
