Faithfull FAILSW8S Super Log Splitting Wedge 200mm (8in), Multi-Colour

Tried today with Ash kiln dried logs and it works great with Faithfull FAIFG4 4lb Club Hammer with Fibreglass Handle 1.8kg. Cut logs in halves or smaller qith one or two hits.fantastic and cheap solution for too larg logs.Remember to use good thick gloves to avoid injury - it's rather obious for safety

This wedge requires real power to be applied - a sledgehammer would be best. With an ordinary hammer you won't get far with tough logs. I enjoy hitting it very hard and finally splitting even twisted grain beech.

Does a good job, got through some big logs that the axe was struggling with.

This worked well in splitting logs.

I bought this splitter, and the Faithful 4lb club hammer to use with it.I usually split logs with a splitting axe but due to spinal problems it becomes painful very quickly.With this splitter and hammer it's much less painful for me and I can quickly and accurately split logs exactly as I want them.The twisting action helps split the log more easily and makes the splitting wedge less likely to get stuck and easier to remove if it does stick.Some reviewers mentioned that it was not sharp enough and just bounced of the logs but I found no such problem, and you can always sharpen it if you find otherwise.I was originally going to order the Eastwing E-5, 9" splitting wedge but at £28 I decided not to bother.And bought both the Faithful wedge and club hammer for less than £30 together.I am very happy with the wedge, and also the hammer and would recommend both as an alternative to a splitting axe for home use

I was looking for something for occasional splitting.I generally buy my logs in from the local tree surgon which are already split. However sometimes these are too big for my log burner and so I wanted something to split these without having to buy a big splitting axe.I already had a club hammer so thought I would give it a go. It's not razor sharp on the end but it doesn't need to be to split logs. The twisting action works well to split the logs.The club hammer I have is only 2Lb and these took a number of hits to split the logs. I did then buy a 4Lb club hammer which worked a lot better.I wouldn't want to split a lot of logs like this but for the occasional use I need it for it's perfect.

Split tree logs easy enough and worked well to use as a wedge to drop a tree good quality and worth the price

First impressions are very good nice wait till it easy to hit easy to hold. However, if the wedge does get stuck, I found that little fragments come off the top as you hit it, and if your hands close by it does hurtGreat, price point did the job it’s meant to doHowever, not sure how long it will last as it degraded quite quickly on the top after just 30 minutes
