Customer Reviews for VEVOR Firewood Kindling Splitter, 9''x17'' XL Wood Splitter, Unique V-Shaped Finger-Safety Blade, Manual Log Splitter for Wood Splitting, Heavy Duty Strong Steel Structure & Stability, Log Splitter

The height of this kindling splitter is almost perfect. When i mount it to a base it will be perfect and my back will be better too. Its height makes me bend over too much as it is. I had to try it out today to see if it worked.It handles 20” seasoned oak like a champ!!! Sometimes you have to smack it pretty hard to get the split moving but then a couple of regular hits and you are done. Even stubborn pieces that are really too long for the splitter crack completely when you give it room to go down farther.If it holds up it will be a great buy, and i hope it does.

I was very pleased with the size and sturdiness of this kindling splitter. It came with hardware to secure it to the floor/deck/a wide base, but so far I haven't needed to do that. It works great sitting on the concrete slab. I was concerned that the opening in the top might be too small in diameter for the pieces that we have split, but that wasn't a problem at all. The unique 'V' shape of the cutting surface is very effective.

OMG! this has been the easiest thing I've ever used to make kindling. I was able to make enough for the whole winter season in a very short period of time. It goes through wood like butter. I love that it has a cover to keep it in great working order.

While this splitter does work as advertised, there is an issue regarding the blade. For splitting fresh-cut trees, it is horribly difficult with the blade as-is. The coating makes the blade dull and, while it works fine for old, dry wood and pre-split logs, newer logs are tough. This is easily rectified by removing the coating and sharpening the blade a bit, but it negates the "safety" aspect. Therefore, you will have to choose between efficient cutting (sharp blade) or safe cutting (coated blade).Overall, this is a good, heavy-duty splitter. You will simply need to determine whether a safe blade or and effective blade is more important to you.

Bought this for my son in law and it works great . Deff worth the money.

I mounted mine to a heavy stump and it works like a charm.

The kids love banging wood thru this. It's sturdy, they can help split the firewood. Great bridge between "too dangerous" for the kids to help and them helping out. All kids love using a hammer and banging stuff. Total win.

I don't know how well this would work without sharpening. I sharpened mine before the first use. It works pretty well but makes a ringing noise that probably wouldn't be there if it was more solidly built (or used on a softer surface or maybe if it was bolted down). All in all though, for light use this is great for the price if you're ready to take tools to it to make the blade sharp.

This makes splitting logs easy and a one person job. The cover provided feels waterproof. The frame itself is heavy and thick, it will not get blown over.

This works well & is well made. We mounted ours to a large chunk of wood that we used to use for splitting. You can use it without mounting but it will be frustrating & tippy. This really does make splitting small pieces of log into useful pieces for the fire.
