Review: Expensive but, Pay more Get more! - I was a little nervous about buying this wood splitter due to the price since I wondered if other tools would be as good with less cost. However, I'm very pleased to report its an excellent product and works very well. I can appreciate the product for its well thought out design and quality of build. The product is made out of cast iron which makes it very strong and able to take quite hard impacts when splitting the wood. So far I've managed to split lots of kindling with little effort and it really does make doing the job so much easier and safer. I really like the design since its very simple but really makes things simple and easy to use since you have lots of control over the point in which the splitting force is applied. Also having the top loop does make it far safer compared with using a hand axe. I would recommend screwing it down to a stable heavy object however, since it will just make it more stable and easier to use.
Review: Brilliant bit of kit! - Wow! What a great piece of kit! I've been looking longingly at these for a while now, but wasn't sure I could justify the cost. Is it really worth it, just for chopping smaller branches? Oh yes it is! All those lengths which are just a bit too small to stand up properly on the chopping block: pop them in the top, tap a couple of times to settle them, then give them a whack, and down they go. The advice to screw it to a block is good: they do tend to jump around a bit, if not pinned down. The holes in the base are big, though: much bigger than any screw or washer which I had to hand, so I had to bodge it with some odd little brackets, but once that was done - perfect! (It would be nice, for this price, if the seller included two large washers...) The size is perfect - there are smaller ones available, cheap copies by the look of them, but this one is large enough to take a decent-sized log and, exactly as per the videos, you can split and re-split as many times as you like, depending on if you just want to split smaller logs, or to make actual kindling. And it is so much safer than using an axe! The picture shows less than ten minutes of fun - err, I mean, effort.

- SAFE AND EFFICIENT: Designed for maximum safety and ease of use, the Authentic Kindling Cracker Original features a sharp, upside-down blade at the centre that splits wood in just a few strikes.
