Thread: Block Splitter

Pumping two levers, didn't know you were that way inclined, not that theres anything wrong with that

Marty, I've used an older version of the Fiskars Block splitter for about 6 years. It's brilliant. I used to routinely break handles on block splitters or have to reach for the axe/wedge/chainsaw, but not since I've had this one ... very happy with it. Gets a good workout each winter, makes mincemeat of the hardwoods I use in the fire ... all good ... would buy again ! HTH

I recently got a Spear and Jackson splitter with fiberglass handle from the local rural supplies as they didnt have a new handle for my manual splitter.What a piece of crap,it just wants to bounce rather than split,despite looking to be a reasonable bit of kit,it will be replaced.Will look at these Fiskar units and the Sthil one.

Fiskar is the go. I have used about 20 different splitters over the years. Fiskars are by far the best. Well balanced and easy to use with long handle. Just use a splitting block to keep the edge out of the dirt. It also works well if used like a golf club with logs in their side. Works well as an axe. Just touch up the edge with a stone after every use and cover with CRC.

I must admit Mick, that while I was waiting for the photos to load (slow interweb connection today), with the description you'd put up I wasn't sure if it was going to be pictures of your wife or your axe.

Haha ! She's been holding up to me a lot longer than the splitter and looks better too.

Usefulness is a dead heat ... Haha
