Does the blade ever have to be sharpened?

Due to its unique design, the Kindling Kracker does not need to be razor sharp. However, if you would still like to sharpen it, you can use a metal file.

Does it have a warranty?

This product has a 5 year warranty.

How big of a log (diameter)will fit inside the ring?

Go smaller than the inside diameter. Wranglerstar did a video where he tried to hammer through a piece that was initially the same size. As the wood split, it splayed out and wedged itself against the metal ring. Anyone (like Northern Tool) who who tells you that you can put in the same size log as the inside diameter has never actually used it.

Wonderful kindling crackers, can you tell me whether a 3 lb or 4 lb hammer is best if a woman or teenager is using it? I'd love your input!

1) If you're putting medium-sized pieces of firewood into it to create smaller pieces or kindling, then the 3 lb. will work fine. 2) If you want to break FAT chunky pieces (e.g., thick diameter) of firewood into smaller pieces of firewood, it won't work well. (I just tried mine out for first time. I had to whack it around 40+ times or more to get it to start to split.) Once it does split, those 2 split pieces will turn into kindling easy with the 3lb. hammer. In fairness, it is called the "Kindling Cracker" and not the "Log splitter." That said, I'm going to get something like a sledgehammer. (5lb or more) for my fat firewood.
