Slide action wood splitter - GIF

Slide action wood splitter. Probably gimmicky; it's hard to beat an axe or a maul. This slide hammer action is still interesting.

Gimmicky, depends how well certain people wield an axe or maul. Both operating side by side, with equal strength, I think the axe would have a job keeping up in same number split. The sliding hammer easily places the wedge as desired.
