Splitting a log into three smaller pieces with one axe is exactly where the work becomes tiring and imprecise - and where most accidents in the shed happen. This steel log splitter stays firmly on the ground: you place the log on it, strike it with a sledgehammer, and split it in the direction you choose. That makes reducing logs to kindling a matter of repeating the process instead of aiming again each time.\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=\"Log splitter with split kindling next to a stove\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:800px;display:block;margin:20px auto;\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe design\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManual log splitter:\u003c\/strong\u003e no electricity, no hydraulics, and no motor maintenance - just steel and a hammer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll-steel, black finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e the material needed to withstand repeated sledgehammer blows.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor hardwood and softwood:\u003c\/strong\u003e specified for both types of wood.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork without an axe:\u003c\/strong\u003e the splitter stays in place, so you do not swing a cutting edge and need less space.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFreestanding base:\u003c\/strong\u003e place it on firm ground, with no assembly or fastening required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor stoves and fireplaces:\u003c\/strong\u003e intended for sizing logs and making kindling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrom log to kindling\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart by placing the log upright on the splitter and splitting it into two halves; then place each half on it again and continue until you reach the thickness your stove requires. Dry wood splits more easily and cleanly than wet wood, so preferably do this with wood that has already been seasoning for a season. Wear gloves and safety goggles, and strike with a sledgehammer - never use an axe on the splitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease note: the product specifications do not state the dimensions of this tool, so they do not specify a maximum log diameter either. Check the photos to assess how large the piece of wood may be before placing an order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/1032\/6856\/files\/Sb4d9ed685b764e18aef00983b5ff8600q.jpg?v=1771158446\" alt=\"Manual black steel log splitter\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:800px;display:block;margin:20px auto;\"\u003e","brand":"Sansoti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54229568913736,"sku":null,"price":854.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/1032\/6856\/files\/hf_20260613_214836_de56b8ce-6082-4723-ac6c-cb1376283a0d.png?v=1781387460","url":"https:\/\/www.sansoti.com\/en-za\/products\/splitting-firewood-wood-splitter","provider":"Sansoti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
