Deuba Wood Splitter Log Bomb 170mm Splitting Wedge Easily Split Wood Grenade

Product Information

I was pretty happy with how this log splitter performed. It only really works with already-split logs that are about 6-8 inches in diameter, but performs beautifully on all types of wood, both wet and dry. I did try it on some larger rounds but wasn’t able to split them – the blade just wasn’t big enough. However, this tool isn’t really designed for that anyway – its blade is just the right size to produce kindling that’ll get your fire roaring. If you have not cleared Gladiator Rank 1, please go ahead and do that now. You won’t be able to start Rank 2 until that is cleared.

Bob Log III (born November 21, 1969) is an American slide guitar one-man band based in Tucson, Arizona, and Melbourne, Australia. During performances, he plays old Silvertone archtop guitars, wears a full body human cannonball suit, and a helmet wired to a telephone receiver, which allows him to devote his hands and feet to guitar and drums. His show has been described as a blues punk guitar dance party. Log tours internationally, performing about 150 shows each year; he has made tours of North America, Europe, Japan and Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Taiwan, and Iceland. These heavy duty steel wedges are a must in any craftsman's tool box. They can fell trees, split wood logs, lift up 50 tonnes of weight, open up any gap without damaging the faces, level up two adjoining pieces of equipment, wedge and hold up machines during final grouting in position, move very heavy loads up to one inch. I have worked as a maintenance craftsman for fifty one years and been retired three years now when I go and find such a bargain. Get these wedges, I bought a pair as they complement each other and make a lovely couple. Highly recommend them and also the speedy service to get them to my house within one day. There is a negative and that is for the poor post lady who has to carry them, she said to me it is only small, but very heavy. Now who's been talking?long and 16" across.... Easy splitting, and a nice size to easily handle. X25 or x27, husqvarna s2800 or such like, all day long. If the wood is straight grained ash or oak I'd go lighter still. A 2 1/2 to 3lb axe head on a 28" handle will be easier to swing and still split that with ease. If it's knotty Leyland cypress....x27. TAKE CARE with shorter axes, longer is safer for a novice. After a few minutes with the hand grinder, I was ready for my second attempt, and lo and behold, the 20-inch log was split completely in two in just a few minutes. It had certainly lived up to the hype, and continued to do so throughout our day of testing.
I can’t help but think that the Estwing E-5 log splitting wedge’s excellent performance has something to do with the shape of the product. Performance: I evaluated each log splitter’s ability to handle different log sizes and types of wood. I measured the splitting force, cycle time, and overall efficiency of breaking logs into smaller pieces. Those that could only handle small pieces of wood around 15 cm tall were marked down, as this reduced the versatility of the tool. A cycle time of less than 10 seconds was optimal for efficient log splitting, so any hydraulic log splitter with this cycle time was rated higher. In terms of noise, I’d say that this log splitter is quieter than an axe. It was also quieter than many of the other splitters that I tested, making it ideal for people with neighbours in close proximity.

It has a fibreglass shaft with a rubberised handle so that less of an impact is felt in the hands, wrists and arms during use. While there weren’t any stand-out safety features incorporated into this log splitter, its simplicity means that these aren’t really needed. Keep your hands away from the log and follow the safety tips in the instruction manual and you should be just fine! I wouldn’t say that ear protection was necessary either; this log splitter is a little quieter than an axe, so it’s not particularly noisy. Whilst the Fiskars are good its not as good as they hype makes out. I have the X27 and think its good, but not great. The head starts quite narrow to get good penetration then splays right out to split the log. But if you're not making much head-way with the the Maul you have I think you're gonna see a slight improvement with the Fiskars but not enough to make you think it was a good buy.

There’s no assembly required for this log splitter. However, you do have the option of screwing it onto a base log (screws aren’t provided) to hold the unit steadier while it’s in use. If you’re working with heavy wood, then I would recommend doing so. At 1.46kg, it is on the heavier side of things when it comes to log slitting wedges, but at just under 18cm, it is shorter than the Estwing.
The tip is a lot narrower too, and this has its pros and cons. The upside is that it helps to cut into the wood without any pre-cuts, but it does mean that you can easy blunt or snap of the very end if you use too much force. I would not recommend using a large sledgehammer for this, and instead go with a smaller, club hammer. Hydraulic splitters vary in terms of power: 5 to 7 tons is usually the minimum, but bigger log splitters can provide around 10 times that amount (which is only really needed for heavy-duty jobs). If you need to split large pieces of hard, wet, and knotty wood, then, while many manual wood splitters could handle this without a problem, life would be much easier with a hydraulic or kinetic model. For jobs that require a lot of large logs to be split, hydraulic splitters will be most suitable. Even hydraulic electric log splitters will be able to split logs that are 30 cm long.
