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.

nice sheath which protects the blade when the tool is not being used.

Splits like a dream, as long as you aren’t trying to split large rounds. It’s a one handed tool, if you need a full size splitter, use a full size splitter.

Perfect for splitting the medium sized pieces of firewood down to smaller pieces to get that fire going.I like it a lot and had a hard time finding a 4lb splitting ax, finally found this one at The HomeDepot website.”Fireside friend” is a fitting “name!

The 3 “Estwing 64 oz. Fireside Friend” are for my two sons and son in law’s next birthdays. So they can not rate these at this time. But, I can rate mine. Mine is a 5 Star “EXCELLENT” and that is why I ordered these three.

Bought it as a gift for my grandson. He loves it and was unaware that Estwing offered such a tool although he owns 3 or 4 other Estwing products. I am very satisfied with with this purchase.

This thing is awesome! Works great for slivering fat lighter and oak kindlin for the fire. Can also work for driving a splitting wedge in a pinch, or if you have a sledge, you can use the Fireside Friend as a splitting wedge.

Great for kindling, heavy enough to split sizable chunks. Great for tent stakes.

Best small maul one can buy.
Sherman Lueilwitz (verified owner) –
Great tool. Small but effective All of estwing products are great
Morgan Kub (verified owner) –
Very well balanced so it’s easy on the wrist and arm, does a great job of splitting. Doesn’t replace a full-sized maul for dealing with large diameter logs, but it is an excellent complement to one.

I love it even though it is heavier than I want.
