The Gränsfors Bruk Splitting Wedge is crafted for those particularly stubborn logs that don't easily give in. With its unique forged twist design, grooved poll, bevelled corners and a hardened tip - it's not just any wedge, but is optimised for the most effective splitting. Whether you're dealing with challenging firewood, knotty or cross-grained logs or looking to split larger diameter and length timbers to craft fencing rails, this wedge is your tool of choice. When paired with a sledgehammer or a splitting maul that possesses a specially hardened poll, its efficacy is increased. Sometimes, it may be necessary to use several wedges in parallel. The Splitting Wedge is used in conjunction with the Splitting Maul which, with its weight and strong poll with bevelled corners, is suitable for striking a wedge.
Warning: Do not use an ordinary axe as a wedge or sledgehammer. It is not made to withstand the force and may therefore become deformed. Remember that there is always a risk in striking steel against steel. A fragment of steel could fly off and damage your eye, for example. It is therefore advisable to wear safety goggles and protective clothing. Make sure that the wedge and the corners of the maul’s poll are kept bevelled.
Specifications:
- Edge & Weight: The edge measures 45mm (1 3/4") with the wedge weighing in at 1.6kg (3.5lbs).
- Poll: The poll of the wedge has ground edges for added efficiency.
- Protection: Each wedge is accompanied by a vegetable tanned leather sheath for protection and longevity.
- Included: Every wedge comes with the Gränsfors Bruk Axe Book, a guide into the world of axes and wedges. Plus, a 20-year forging guarantee stands as a testament to the product's premium quality.
