Kindling Cracker Firewood Kindling Splitter

Product Information

The Blue Home Kindling Splitter is furthermore quite lightweight at just 10 pounds, so it can be very easily stored when not in use, or transported where ever you want to use it. This makes this a great grab-and-go kindling splitter for use at the RV park, campground, beach, and beyond. If you need to split large pieces of hard, wet, and knotty wood, then, while many manual wood splitters could handle this without a problem, life would be much easier with a hydraulic or kinetic model. Built with a cast steel construction, this tool is built for long lifespan, and shouldn’t really require any maintenance. The SnugNiture Splitter is furthermore just 10 pounds and inherently quite compact at only 12 inches tall, so it stores nice and out of the way when not in use. It’s also easily brought along on campouts, beach days, and more. If you have nearby neighbours, noise level could be another deal-breaker. Manual log splitters tend to be the quietest, while electric log splitters are much louder.

If you regularly split large logs, a model may be worth the investment. You can calculate your required ton rating based on the logs you want to split, and a 4+ ton rating is suitable for logs up to 6 inches in width. Cycle rating Which makes it the safest way in the world for you to cut kindling, you will be impressed with how much easier it is to cut kindling too. Log/kindling splitter that efficiently splits logs with less energy and greater safety than a standard axe Whether you’re mainly splitting hardwood or softwood should also play a role in your kindling splitter selection. Splitters with a single blade are best for hardwoods, while splitters with a double blade are best for softwoods. If you’re unsure which type of wood you’ll be working with the most, you should opt for a single-blade splitter. Single-blade splitters can work with any type of wood, whereas double-blade splitters struggle greatly with hardwoods. How Big Are the Logs You’re Splitting? This is a fairly unique, lever-action wood splitter that requires no hatchet or hammer – simply lift the uprights, set your log, and pull the blade down to operate! Integrated notches on the device enable you to “walk down” the wood with ease and control, so utilizing this tool is both easy and safe.

Tips

Rather than a circular base, the bottom of the frame features two 10.5 inch long legs that hold nice and steady during use. You can utilize the integrated bolt holes to further secure your splitting station if you choose to, but this option will perform just fine on its own. This makes it an awesome grab-and-go option for campouts and other applications where you don’t necessarily want to mount your splitter. This kindling splitter also has two lower blades below the top one meaning that you can split kindling into four pieces rather than just two. You can optionally mount it to a secure location, or you can carry it with you wherever you go because it only weighs 7 pounds! Pros For jobs that require a lot of large logs to be split, hydraulic splitters will be most suitable. Even hydraulic electric log splitters will be able to split logs that are 30 cm long. Kinetic Log Splitters

The opening at the top of the cast iron frame measures 6.5 inches, which should be enough for the average log, while the whole unit stands at 12 inches tall. It’s relatively compact and, unlike many of the other wood splitters out there, is quite quaint and charming to look at. It’s not something that you’ll have to hide away after each use – it’s almost a decorative item in itself. Measuring just 12 inches by 6.5 inches, this is a compact little splitter that can separate logs up to about 14 inches long, and 6 inches in diameter. Material: Kindling splitters are made from either steel or cast iron. Some of the latter are quite decorative in design. The most basic models are made of a simple upright sheet of steel welded at a right angle to a stand. The OKRONIS Firewood Splitter is an innovative and highly effective option that features a removable secondary blade allowing you to split one piece of firewood into either two or four pieces – dramatically reducing your workload.Blade: The blade doesn’t have to be razor-sharp to be effective because the applied force splits the wood grain quite easily. More advanced blades are contoured to split the log into numerous pieces of kindling with one blow. Most blades are cast as part of the structure. We have also seen removable blades made from a mixture of steel and titanium. These are very hard and take a good edge, which helps if you have particularly dense wood to split. Normally, that’s not an issue, and the fixed-blade type is more than adequate. There isn’t much assembly involved with this wood splitter. It comes with four screws that you use to attach the tool to a base log – choose one that’s relatively tall to save you from having to stoop over. Ignore the metal pipe that comes in the box – this isn’t needed unless you also have a tool called the Smart Splitter. On the other hand, if you’re going to be splitting wood that’s soft and already pretty brittle, you won’t need quite so much power, which should save you some money! The construction of kindling splitters is simple and straightforward. They’re typically 18″ to 24″ tall and have a circular ring at the top through which you slide a piece of wood. The log sits on top of a sharp wedge similar to an ax or splitter. You then use a hammer or sledge to hit the top of the log, which forces it down onto the wedge and splits it. The SnugNiture Firewood Kindling Splitter with Cover is a reliable device for processing regular cordwood upwards of one foot long, and about 7.5 inches in diameter that’s offered at a very reasonable price point considering the quality of craftsmanship and inclusion of a cover.
