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.

This is the best hand splitter I’ve ever used well worth the money. It takes little effort to split logs or make kindling and you will never have to replace another broken wood handle.

Perfect — Not a huge Splitting Maul — Not a small Camp Axe. . .BUT the PERFECT “In-betweener”.Perfect Weight, Perfect Size — Perfect Durable, Rubberized Grip and Flared handle end — keeps the tool solidly in your hand and in your control.Just as the name implies: PERFECT “Fireside Friend” When you need a little more ummph that your camp axe can deliver.

What an incredible tool! It does exactly what it says with ease. I use it camping and at the home fire pit. I plan to give these as gifts now. Couldn’t be more satisfied.

I wanted a heavy one handed tool for splitting/making kindling for my wood burner. Other hatchets were just too small and light and a 2 handed axe/splitter just wasn’t safe for making small pieces easily. This Eastwing fits the bill perfectly. Easy to use, easy to split the wood because of its 4 lb head. Typical Eastwing quality throughout.

I think this is a great addition around my wood stove to split the mill ends, (2×4’s & 2×6’s) that are 24″ long. Also works great to lop off a chunk of a cedar block to split kindling with my estwing sportsman hatchet.

Great Wood Splitting tool. Nice balance with an easy grip rubber covered handle to absorb the shock when using it. It is made with an unbreakable one piece steel handle that will never need replacing. It has a heavy hammer head on one side, with a sharp tapered edge on the other with just the right amount of weight to split the wood into Kindling when starting a fire, or use the hammer side for driving steaks or other items in the ground, or for just all around pounding on something, when using it like a hammer.. A Fine universal tool that meets a number of needs

Have had one the Fireside Friends for years. Keep it at the farm. Bought 2 more, one as a gift and one to keep in my truck for camping. Works great for such a small package.

Only flaw is the handle could be a little beefier. A 4lb head shouldn’t have a handle that belongs on a drywall hammer

great combination between a splitting wedge and a hatchet to split smaller pieces, with Estwing quality.

Using a wood burner in my home can be challenging with some of the larger pieces of wood. The “Fireside Friend” makes the job easy-peasy. Thanks for helping out this senior woman.

Great small splitting maul. Just heavy enough for the job but not to heavy. Great one handed tool.
