ESTWING Sure Split Wedge - 5-Pound Wood Splitting Tool with Forged Steel Construction & 1-7/8" Cutting Edge - E-5

Top quality for a great price. These wedges are made to split wood and do a superior job. Just let your hammer do the work and these wedges almost spit the wood all by themselves.

It’s rare to find a company that just makes great stuff you can always trust to last for generations. Estwing is that company and this wedge is no different. Works amazingly well and will out live me.

Works as it should. Very heavy duty, made well, splits wood with ease

Works nicely. Easy to use and splits wood easily. This and one with a point on the end is all I need.

This is sa great wedge and solid performer on the Oak I have. Black, White, and Red Oak. Excellent design and a sharp point to start your split. Easier to use this than a splitting maul.

Nice quality well made split wedge. Splits wood with great results. Great value. Sharp and ready to use. Not so sharp that you would cut yourself. It’s made for wood, not shaving 😆

This wedge works great. It seems to be a little harder than most. It mushrooms less quickly than normal. Also, the extra width the wings provide allow the hammer to follow the wedge right into the split. It's reasonably sharp and starts into the wood reasonably easily. Highly recommended.

I bought a Milwaukee 18V Hack Chainsaw which has just an 8" bar. I use the tool to create a slot to place the wedge which works perfectly with my old wedge. Even with the slot, I could not get the Estwing wedge to engage. It kept bounding out after every hit. The bottom width of the wedge is too wide. What the wedge is good for is as a second wedge on a larger 3' dia round, or after a wide split has started. So I give it 3 stars as a SECOND wedge to help open the split created by a different first wedge on larger rounds. Knowing Estwing, I'm sure the wedge is forged well.
