Great product for small kindling, needs wider base for splitting larger pieces
So this is a good, basic, little chopper. If you need it to split small pieces into kindling, it's a five star item. I bought it because I needed to split a few larger pieces, with a dimension that wouldn't fit into one of the kindling choppers with the circular holders at the top. That job requires a pretty heavy blow with a hammer. Heavy enough that it pulled up the chopper from the wood round that I'd put it into with 5/16" x 3 1/2" lag screws. I ended up needing to drill out the holes to take a 3/8" x 8" lag bolt, and that seems to have done the job. But if this chopper had a wider base to begin with, and slightly larger holes, I could have avoided the time and expense that I didn't expect to spend in the first place.

Cheap and not hardened
This is after less then a hour of use. Do not recommend.

Arrived beaten up with broken edges
Box arrived completely smashed and crudely taped together- the edge on the splitter took a beating in transit. Also appeared edge had been painted over.It appears sturdy but we have not yet used it. We can probably sharpen it and smooth out the chips using an angle grinder, but I find it disappointing to have to do this to a brand new item. Please find a way to package these better!Will update review after a few uses.

It's a keeper
It's sturdy. I attached it to a piece of tree stump and it's not moving. It does need a bit of sharpening, but it works out of the box. I use it to make kindling for the fire pit from already split logs. Me and my 4 lb sled make short work of the kindling detail. There is no cover for the blade--I just drop a large ziplock bag over it to keep it from rusting.

Perfect portable size for smaller wood logs.
I like that this splitter is small and light enough to be portable. Do not purchase to split over 6" diameter logs-get larger size splitter. Be sure to use the recommended 4lb hammer to make splitting easier. This splitter will work on 3-4' diameter firewood even with a 2lb hammer/hatchet but takes more work to split the wood. Due to it's small size it does move around unless you screw it down to a solid base, so keep the wood centered on the splitter. Overall, it is great for splitting smaller logs for the fireplace or for a small campfire. Highly recommended!!

Good for splittin'
Mounted this to a good size stump with some ledger lock bolts. Tap a piece of wood on, then hammer away with a sledge hammer. Seems to hold up well. I try to help the splitter by placing the bigger pieces off center to "chunk" them down vs split down the middle. You can see in the 1st picture the smaller pieces I'm chunking off vs the size of them as they start. Some are easily 16 plus inches by 10-12 inches wide.

it's ok
it's basically a wedge stuck on a metal plate that you can put on a block or tree stump. It doesn't work too great with very large pieces of wet wood. I'm still using a spike wedge and standard triangle wedge along with about 5-10 wooden wedges from the tree to split it up. On smaller pieces to split to kindling it works pretty good. Worth having around. Fits perfectly in a 2 gallon bucket from home depot with lid. Should keep it from getting weathered.

Does as advertised
It's awesome and does as advertised.Of course, I want it to do MORE than advertised, so I used it as a starter for small logs. Slamming down on the sharp edge of this tool with an 8# maul will damage the edge in a big way.I can bring the edge back, and I may even buy a second one.
