No axe needed. Never worry again about possibly injuring your fingers or hands while splitting firewood with the kindling cracker firewood splitter. Heavy-duty with 1-solid piece of high-quality cast iron, our wood splitter provides a safe and easy method of splitting firewood into kindling, as it does not have moving blades or sharp objects that pass by your hands. A cast iron splitting head is mounted inside of a 12 in. H cast iron frame. A splitting wedge is set inside the safety ring, which never allows your fingers near the blade. To make the perfect piece of kindling, just place the firewood inside the safety ring and hit it with a blunt object, such as a hammer, mallet or even another piece of wood. This drives the wood down onto the splitting wedge for a quick and easy split. The kindling cracker splits firewood with less force than a standard axe, so there is no need to risk injury by swinging a sharp-bladed axe dangerously close to your fingers or hands. This wood splitter is a useful and ideal tool to create a kindling for campfires, fireplaces, firepits, wood stoves, pizza ovens, saunas, barbeques, smokers and more. Why use a kindling cracker. If you want to create the perfect kindling for your campfire, wood stove, fireplace, pizza oven, BBQ or smoker and you don't want to risk injury by using an axe, our kindling cracker is just what you need. Built strong, it's the safer, faster and easier way to make the best kindling for your fire. Color: Steel.
