Slide action wood splitter - GIF

[PJs]

I like the blade/wedge design and on dense wood properly seasoned it would work like a charm but wonder how it would work on stringier wood like Euc. or softer woods like cedar. Ergonomically I think this is pretty cool yet would bet it weighs at least twice what an axe weighs. Also agree with TM51 about the accuracy and with Nelson, after 15-30 minutes accuracy with an axe drops off considerably.

I'd rather rent or borrow a hydraulic splitter and be done with it. Years ago when I was younger buck :-P, a buddy and I got a bunch of oak and Euc free if we picked it up. Ended up with ~2 1/2 cords and split and stacked it all in a day with a splitter, basically about 2 years worth for both of us for only about 2 days work. Return rental splitter...$30!...there that's done.
