Splitting small wood without a hatchet · review
A cast iron splitter with powder coating and its screws included, with 96 ratings at 4.3 out of 5.
Poffattr gives cast iron, a 6.1 inch blade, a height of 9.8 inches, 7 pounds and four screws.
It is cast iron for the price of steel. At 7 pounds it needs fixing to something heavy.
Strike the wood with a mallet or a small sledge, wear eye protection and gloves, and bolt the base to a stump or bench if the listing allows. Keep your free hand clear.

The price beside each product is fetched as this page opens, and it is the only figure here that is current. Any amount written into the prose was read once, on the day that sentence was written, and nothing has refreshed it since.
