Would be good on pine fruit cases but not much good on our Ironbark or Curly-Grain Box Tree. I have some pieces of old stock yard posts with curly grain and a block splitter, at full swing, bounces off it. Not a bad concept though.
@srairmand not really, it has many meriting features over an axe. First there is no risk of cutting yourself, little risk of slipping, no heads to fall off, less energy input. Seems pretty good to me!
In Sweden and Norway there's nothing but birches for firewood anyways. Works perfect for them. My pile of knotty maple in upstate NY scoffs at that thing.
I'll take a chopping block and a good maul if it's all the same to you. :)
DEFINITELY a nice gadget, but there's little more satisfying than a good clout with an axe sending the two halves screaming off in opposite directions. :)
I've got to agree with CabinfeverParkcity too - the stress relief of splitting with an axe is worth all the extra effort.
WOW! THAT TAKES ALL THE FUN AWAY FROM THE WHOLE IDEA MAN! Don't you know splittin wood helps relieve the need to split peoples heads apart, but it would be fun to split someones head open with that also. Where can I find one?
Hmmm... you show a guy who doesn't know how to use a splitting maul "trying" to split a log in half----and compare him to a guy who acts like he's doing the same thing, except he's not.
The guy with the gizmo isn't trying to split fireplace logs, he's just busting off thin roof shingles, so of COURSE it's going to be easier.
If that's what you need it for, then maybe it would be worthwhile but don't try to claim it's better than a splitting maul for getting firewood.
@eatmorenachos yeah, but isn't that why those commercials are hilarious? "has THIS ever happened to YOU???" (lady tries to open bottle of ketchup, falls out of airplane, gets run over by train). "That's why you need the $10 ketchup top remover!" (well of COURSE! I certainly don't want to fall out of an airplane and get run over by a train!) Hhahahaha
Could be modified for chopping ice :) make it shorter, add a short extension for leverage. Might be good addition for those fishermen who work in the Bering Sea and need ice off fast.
Geez. The Norskas are playing Beethoven while splitting wood? Actually this tool would work fine on some nice straight-grained poplar or aspen. That gnarly old fir and yellow pine with knots the size of your boots? Well, not so much.
I used one of these years and years ago. It worked well (actually, quite well). The problem was it uses muscles nio usually used and those muscles are isolated (that is, unlike normal axes that can shift muscle groups on the fly, this system only uses the delts/traps).
Fatigue sets in quickly, in my experience.
Still, it's GREAT for splitting really knotty wood or extremely dense wood.
However, for most wood, I'd prefer a heavy axe, maul etc.
@TheJohn8765 Well said John. I knew there was something bothering me about the whole thing and that's it. Your arms are very high when the work is done and legs and back are never employed. All arms and stomach. I can see that it would be a good tool for easy to split wood however. Maybe if you could place the wood below your feet somehow or stand on a bench.
Send them american soldiers to the front to be killed,while Germany is persuing its long time fight for world domination

looks great on tv splitting balsa wood. try it on oak or pecan... carpel tunnel syndrome real quick. get a log splitter and be done with wasting time.
This product is better than most people realize. Birch is not the easiest wood to split, that would be maple. Birch is not particularly hard but is somewhat stringy, but not as bad as elm. F=ma, Force equals mass times acceleration, and this product would equal the force of an 8 pound splitting maul, with very little chance of hitting your feet, so much safer. I burn 6 cord a year for 20 years, I know about splitting wood.
A regular ax would work as easy as that wedge ax on that wood. It is almost as easy as splitting cedar from the looks of it. If you really want to show how good it is show the wedge ax splitting the same piece of wood that stops a regular ax or even a splitting ax.
Just the thing to use with little old short logs of soft wood. Shoot, with that old lite wood you're working harder with that gizmo than you would if you whopped it with an ax. Shoot, a five year old colud split that lite ol popal.
@jonwieser I was thinkin' the same thing. Down here in Texas we've got tons of Live Oak and lemme tell ya, it's harder than coffin nails tryin' to split it with a maul. This product seems like it should live in the alpines with the soft wooded trees.
You know how much more energy you'd use with this thing?!? I stick to my 8lb maul. It only takes a little bit swing it and the rest is of the work is done by gravity and momentum.
@norcallogger hell if i know all im saying is this thing is probably pretty usefull for some people who cant swing an axe like you and i, more accurate than an axe too i reckon because obv you can just place it exactly where you want to deliver the force.
this contraption is impossible and this video is ridiculous. wieght shape and speed of object dropping dropping means everything. nothing is free. nothing replaces hard work asshole.
Whoops. Just saw he wasn't actually standing on the round with both feet. Still, the whole thing seems like a hassle. There's no advantage over a splitting axe here, and it doesn't get you a good strong back like an axe does.
of course they have to show some of the worst splitters out there at the very beginning - now that's POOR! i'd probably think about using this tool when i'm getting 60 yrs. old, maybe not even then...
I had one of these, tried it and dumped it. Noisy as hell and one hell of a shock to your hands and wrists from steel striking steel. NOT a good idea. Far less force for far more effort than a good splitting maul with a wooden handle. I kept the wedge part to use as a pry bar and threw the pipe handle in the scrap where it belonged.
Lol he's using it on a super dry log that has almost no imperfections and even splits in weird vertical shapes (not the pizza slice but the .. well. the brick?)
this would pretty much suck..Yeah i guess its okay for super miniature pieces smaller then my pinky but if you want a huge piece then you'll have to do it the old fashion way
@ohblondi It does work. Actually rather well. Even my granddad can use it while sitting in his wheelchair, and the mass of the axe is what splits the wood, not the force you put into it with your back. And let's face it, for someone with back problems or scrawny arms like mine, that's a way safer and more efficient way to chop as much wood as a fit young man with an oldschool axe. Someone commented that it won't fell trees, but that's what we have chainsaws for, no? :D
@tammipuu i'm not saying it dosen't work in general but i have attempted to split pieces of wood almost 2 feet in diameter then i'm not sure how well that small splitting tool will work on a larger piece but for small pieces i bet it is quite efficient
@ohblondi It's not a matter of the tool being "small", but in the way it uses physics and the mass of the tool added up with the force of your body movements to create a stronger, more focused downward force than your average axeman.
That is why a bullet can pierce a piece of wood and a tennis ball cannot. The material, the velocity and the shape affect how it reacts with its target.
Yes elm!! Under the firewood charts for characteristics of firewood the ease of splitting ranking from easy, medium and hard elm doesn't even rank. It gets it's own ranking of "doesn't split"!! Very stringy and hard. How about a two foot diameter maple or black walnut chunk from the trunk where the main branches were dividing off. Tool looks basically useless to me.
this is a dumb way to do this. i was choping fire wood not to long ago and its a GREAT way to get rid of stress. just bashing wood with a giant axe. thats what makes choping wood fun.

The wrong way (demonstrated) to use a maul is to:
heave up on the maul to swing it back
heave forward on the maul to stop it (OW! There went my back!)
heave forward more to swing it toward the wood
heave to pry it loose because the wood didn't split
Swing the maul back, up and around in a continuous arc instead. MUCH easier.

this would pretty much suck..Yeah i guess its okay for super miniature pieces smaller then my pinky but if you want a huge piece then you'll have to do it the old fashion way

@ohblondi It does work. Actually rather well. Even my granddad can use it while sitting in his wheelchair, and the mass of the axe is what splits the wood, not the force you put into it with your back. And let's face it, for someone with back problems or scrawny arms like mine, that's a way safer and more efficient way to chop as much wood as a fit young man with an oldschool axe. Someone commented that it won't fell trees, but that's what we have chainsaws for, no? :D

@tammipuu i'm not saying it dosen't work in general but i have attempted to split pieces of wood almost 2 feet in diameter then i'm not sure how well that small splitting tool will work on a larger piece but for small pieces i bet it is quite efficient

@ohblondi It's not a matter of the tool being "small", but in the way it uses physics and the mass of the tool added up with the force of your body movements to create a stronger, more focused downward force than your average axeman.
That is why a bullet can pierce a piece of wood and a tennis ball cannot. The material, the velocity and the shape affect how it reacts with its target.

Maybe OK for straight grained softwood,.... maybe.... anything else, forget it!

Yes elm!! Under the firewood charts for characteristics of firewood the ease of splitting ranking from easy, medium and hard elm doesn't even rank. It gets it's own ranking of "doesn't split"!! Very stringy and hard. How about a two foot diameter maple or black walnut chunk from the trunk where the main branches were dividing off. Tool looks basically useless to me.

this is a dumb way to do this. i was choping fire wood not to long ago and its a GREAT way to get rid of stress. just bashing wood with a giant axe. thats what makes choping wood fun.
