Product Description
Kindling Cracker: The Best Way to Split Wood
Inspiration Strikes
- The Kindling Cracker delivers real-world ingenuity from an unlikely source — a school-age student who was determined to avoid injuries from splitting firewood into kindling.
Quality, Premium Build
- It consists of one solid piece of high-quality cast iron. The only maintenance it needs is a bit brushing off and maybe a touch of paint from time to time to look like new for generations.
Safe and Easy to Use
The Kindling Cracker is a top-grade cast iron splitting head mounted inside of a 12in.H cast iron frame. To make a perfect piece of kindling, place a piece of firewood inside the iron safety ring and strike with a blunt instrument, such as a hammer, mallet or even another piece of wood. This drives the wood down onto the splitting wedge for a quick, easy split. There is no need to swing a sharp axe blade dangerously close to your hands. It's the perfect companion for your backyard stack.

That said, I have tried other design log splitters and never felt comfortable with the “open bladed” type which I had originally ordered and thought would have been better in use
It soon became apparent that the open blade would or could be a potential issue especially when trying to split my hard wood logs (seasoned oak, ash etc) and if too much force was used to hammer the log, or it split easier than expected, there was always the chance that you would follow through with the hammer, or worse, one of your hands (you use one hand to steady the log for the initial hit) and strike the open blade. Hammers can be replaced - you hands cant :(
So, with the above in mind, I searched for something that at least on the face of it, looked safer to use.
There are plenty of this type available on line (with the halo above the blade), but either ridiculously cheap, looked quite spindly or very little credible reviews other than “best thing Ive bought…” which is no real use
Finally settled on this Kindling Cracker - yes it is expensive, and realistically I feel it should really be around the £50-£70 price bracket, but in its defence, it is well thought out, very sturdy and appears to be a single cast of metal so shouldnt flex under duress like some of the collapsible types I have seen
The blade appears blunt when inspected, certainly not knife sharp but could still cause damage, but does appear to work when splitting logs - if the edge was any finer it would soon dull after a few logs had been split, so think this is the best compromise between sharpness and longevity of the edge
It is super easy to split soft wood logs but with a little more effort it also works well with my hard wood logs too with the “halo” actually helping to support larger logs (keeping one hand out of the way) prior to hitting them with the hammer.
Smaller logs dont require as much effort to split, but you need to support them first, but one small tap will bed the log onto the blade and you can then remove your supporting hand while striking with the hammer
The best thing I like about the “halo” at the top is that it actually acts as a safety rail that stops the hammer following through if the logs splits too easily - this prevents the hammer, or more importantly, your hands getting anywhere near the blade when splitting logs
Obviously common sense should prevail when using this type of tool, but I feel this is certainly worth considering if you are the nervous type or have limited mobility issues and think if used sensibly, can last you a lifetime and will your hands out of harms way too. Which is nice :)
