Multipurpose,

"A friend recommended and loaned me the manual splitter for removing old cedar fense posts and their supporting concrete to allow for a new fense construction. I then used it for clearing rock while digging for concrete deck supports. It requires a little caution, lube, labor and practice to be effective, but it did the trick and remained sharp despite the concrete abuse. There is a little spalling of concrete and rock, so I would wear glasses. He left the area so I desided to buy my own for the convenience of having it available for its intended purpose "splitting logs"."

Didn't work for me,

"I purchased one of these splitters last winter and have been meaning to write a review ever since. My brother and I both tried using it with very little success. It was nice to be able to use it to finish splitting a log after we started it the old fashioned way. One use I found for the splitter was as an impromptu ice breaker."

This will not beat a good splitting maul,
October 19, 2007

"The wedge is too small and in general does not seem to split any of the tough logs any better then a good splitting maul. This may be a good alternative for those who have a problem lifting a splitting maul over their heads or are concerned about their aim. It is nice to be able to position the wedge just where you want it. But the slide started to seize up after only a few logs and will require some lube to free it. I also feel that a longer stroke would help to get more power out of it."
