This wood splitter does exactly what it claims to do. Put a log on top of it, hit the log with a nice heavy hammer and it will split the log in two. It has four screw holes to mount it, and I REALLY recommend using them for safety and usability. Screw the log splitter down onto a solid base and it’s much more effective.
I found it extremely good splitting oak logs using a 2kg lump hammer, one or two blows was enough for any of them. Be warned, you need to be very careful not to hit the splitter as it will get blunt very quickly if you do! While it would still be quite possible to injure yourself with this, it does have a sharp edge and a hammer involved after all, it does seem safer than using an axe or hatchet, and the reduced movement required compared to an axe should be easier on your back.
I’m not sure how long it will hold it’s edge under usage, but it shouldn’t be any harder to sharpen than a normal axe, albeit with the additional requirement to unscrew it from the base. I used it successfully on logs from about 10-15cm diameter, I’m not sure how well it would cope compared to an an axe on significantly bigger ones. The biggest downside downside is that I think it’s a bit expensive for what it is, especially as you’re going to need to buy a large hammer or mallet too if you don’t already have one, it’s more than a cheap splitting axe.
