Kindling Cracker Firewood Kindling Splitter

Product Information

Most gas and electric log splitters are full-beam, which means the bed is long enough to support the entire log. While there are a few other differences, the main difference with a half-beam log splitter is that the bed is shorter, so part of the hydraulic cylinder—that’s the moving part of the tool that applies the splitting force to the log—is unsupported. That doesn’t affect the power or performance of the tool, however; there are half-beam log splitters with just as much tonnage as their full-beam counterparts. A kindling splitter might be a very simple tool, but there are one or two precautions you should take to avoid unnecessary accidents or injuries. This is very easy splitter to use. The only the only thing that you require is to place your wood on top of it and by the use of an ax, hammer or even another log and your work are done. It is safe and secure during its use, especially where children are present. Upon placing your log, you can use a hammer of 3 or 4 lbs to split it. Even though most log splitters are designed to take the work out of splitting large logs, there is something unique about completing the task by hand. Sometimes, you may not even have the luxury of hauling a gas or electric splitter with you.

The entire design of this wood splitter is geared towards making the wood splitting process as safe as possible. The 6.5 inch ring at the top plays a big part in this – it holds the wood in place while you’re splitting, meaning that your hands are kept well out of the way. Starting with safety, there are a few really good options out there. I should also mention that using a hatchet to split kindling can be dangerous but when done correctly, you greatly reduce the risk of harming yourself. I’ll explain more about that later.

Key considerations

If I was splitting hard wood the diameter was only about 7 inches, which is still pretty impressive for a splitter of this size. But either way, if you have ever struggled with turnign logs into kindling before, this may be a dream come true. Whatever your case is, I’ll go over some things to consider before deciding which tool is best for you and your family.

Electric log splitters typically have somewhere between 6 and 10 tons of driving force, which is enough to split logs up to around 12 inches in diameter. Gas and electric log splitters are measured in terms of driving force, which is the maximum amount of force the wedge can exert against the log. Naturally, the higher the tons of driving force, the stronger the tool, and the larger the logs you can split. As a general rule, gas log splitters can have much higher driving force than electric models, but the main consideration is the typical size of logs you’ll be splitting. For many people, a low to medium driving force will be sufficient.
