A knot, a miss, or a log that slips away - with an axe, your hand is always moving toward the wood. This manual wood splitter reverses that: the splitter stays still on the ground, you place the log on it and strike it from above with a hammer or sledgehammer. Your hands stay on the hammer, not near the blade. The splitter is made of steel and works on both hardwood and softwood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/1032\/6856\/files\/Sb4d9ed685b764e18aef00983b5ff8600q.jpg?v=1771158446\" alt=\"Manual wood splitter with log and sledgehammer\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:800px;display:block;margin:20px auto;\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy this works differently from an axe\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFixed cutting edge:\u003c\/strong\u003e the splitter does not move, so you don't have to aim - even when you're tired or the wood is wet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrike instead of swing:\u003c\/strong\u003e you apply force from above with a hammer or sledgehammer, which requires less space and less technique than an axe swing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel:\u003c\/strong\u003e the entire tool is made of steel, with a black finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardwood and softwood:\u003c\/strong\u003e suitable for both, including the tough beech and oak that an axe can get stuck in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFreestanding, no assembly:\u003c\/strong\u003e place it on firm ground or a stump and use it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for firewood:\u003c\/strong\u003e intended for reducing logs for a stove or open fireplace.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWork safely and check one important detail\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlace the splitter on a flat, sturdy surface - not on tiles or loose gravel, as it may tip over on the first strike. Wear work gloves and safety goggles: dry wood can send splinters flying when split. Strike with the full head of a sledgehammer and never use an axe on the splitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImportant: the product specifications for this item do not list any dimensions - no height, base diameter, or maximum log diameter. This means you must rely on the photos to assess what size of firewood will fit on it. Compare the splitter in the images with the logs beside it before ordering, especially if you work with large logs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/1032\/6856\/files\/Schermafbeelding2022-10-28om17.46.19_500x_3e85acfa-135a-442d-a4d9-162069e83f24.png?v=1771158445\" alt=\"Black steel wood splitter for hardwood and softwood\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:800px;display:block;margin:20px auto;\"\u003e","brand":"Sansoti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54229568880968,"sku":null,"price":44.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/1032\/6856\/files\/hf_20261006_164151_1b86d2ed-83b0-4011-84ef-e41c6a06bf8f.png?v=1791305245","url":"https:\/\/www.sansoti.com\/en-fr\/products\/manual-hammer-wood-splitter","provider":"Sansoti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
