Kindling Cracker XL Kindling Cracker King Firewood Splitter - Kindling Splitter Wood Splitter Wood Splitting Wedge Manual Log Splitter Wedge

I'm not one to write a lot of reviews, but this one is definitely deserving of one!!! First off, I liked the story behind how this product was developed. More importantly, this is HANDS DOWN the BEST kindling maker I've ever had! It's sturdy, safe, quick, and just plan WORKS....all with minimal effort! You can make your sizes as big or as little as you want. No more hoping to hit where you want with an ax/hatchet, picking up, trying to stand the piece on end, and repeating over and over. Go with the KC King (XL) size and it'll chew through anything thrown at it! I'd say I'd order again, but with how well this is built, I'd imagine it'll be a generational hand-down type of tool, and will last. VERY impressed!!!!!!

This is a great tool for splitting pre-cut wood. Very sturdy and much safer than splitting with an axe... a good investment for fire pit wood or fireplace wood. I am a grandma in my 70's and able to use this tool. Able to purchase in different sizes ;chose a sturdy, hefty hammer for use with this tool...wear safety glasses

This thing is very well made and works great! I prefer smaller logs for my fire pit and it makes it super simple and safe to reduce the size of the larger logs I have. I have terrible aim swinging a maul so this makes splitting much easier. I use a 4lb sledge with a 16" handle. Highly recommend.

Excellent kindling maker and wood splitter. I was skeptical when I first saw it, it just didn't seem like something that would "do the job," but it was wrong. It works great to chop wood and get that perfect sized kindling. The blade has a decent edge on it and makes quick work of most wood. I bought it mainly for vacationing and camping, where there isn't much place for you to safely split wood using an axe without the risk of causing property damage. The wide base on the kindling maker makes it great for chopping without destroying property. It has a hefty weight to it so it doesn't tip easily and only requiring a 5lb mallet to split wood takes up less packing space.

Makes chopping up kindling a breeze. A lot safer and easier than using a hatchet. I was also able to split wood with it. If it would fit inside the ring, I was able to split it. Well worth the money. I would recommend it !!

My hope was that this would allow me to easily split small diameter logs, 2 to 6 inches, without them falling over. So far it’s working much better than I expected. The only (minor) complaint is that the features to allow it to be bolted down to a stump are oddly located and shaped, requiring a fender washer and 1/4” lag bolt. Even the surface isn’t flat so the washer needs to bend to conform to the base. But so far the attachment is working OK. Shipping was quick and packaging was fine.

This thing is an absolute beast. Heavy cast iron that can take a beating. All you need is a 3lb sledge and you can split pretty decent size rounds. I bolted this thing to a stump and it’s a lot better than it being on the ground. It’s game changer. In the video I split logs that would have taken me ages to split with a regular axe. Plus this is WAY safer. 5/5 all day for me.

Terrific product. Heavy gauge. Great design. Works exactly as stated. I used a 4 pound sledge and had fun splitting wood.
