My husband and I have a wood burning stove in our home. We recently seen this product and decided to give it a try. It is by far the best wood splitter we have ever purchased. Very sharp and solid. Being the lady of the house, I don’t do much of the wood splitting. But on occasion I do have too. Using other hatchett type products I was never able to sucessfully split any wood. I was totally surprised when I picked up this splitter and was actually able to split the wood! Others I have used just got lodged in the wood. This Fireside Friend just cuts right throught the wood like butter. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this product to anyone in the market. After purchasing this axe…my husband was so excited to show it off, he and my Dad went out to split…a few days later…my Dad purchased one also!
I hope this review was helpful in your decision making about this product. We are truly satisfied all around with this axe. In fact my husband loves it so much, he plans to get a second one.

I have had this maul for at least ten years. My version has the stacked leather washer handle. It has seen duty not only as a wood splitting tool, but also as a 4 pound hammer. I’ve used it with cold chisels, and concrete chisels as well as driving stakes. It’s balance is perfect both for hammering as well as splitting (which is no small feat in my humble opinion). This is truly a unique tool and highly recommended.

I don’t have much else to say that’s already been in previous reviews. The size of this tool is perfect for when I go camping, and the maul end can be used to pound in tent stakes. The tool is crafted from a single piece of metal, so there are no components that may become loose or significantly damaged. The head weighs four pounds, so when I use it to split wood, I basically just “drop” the head onto the wood; as opposed to swinging the tool over my head as I would an axe or hatchet.

I have and have used a wide variety of hand tools. I can tell you that this product is made of the highest quality, and will give you a lifetime of good service with minimal maintenance. Highly recommended.

I bought this because the regular camping hatchet I was using to split my firewood was killing my elbow with the repeated blows I needed to get the job done. The problem with splitting medium pieces (typically how wood is stacked in a face cord), a maul is too large & cumbersome and a hand hatchet is too small and light. This is the best of both worlds, because it is 4 lbs-light enought to use with one hand, it has a wedge-like shape like a maul, and it is sharp like a hand axe. 1-2 strikes and most wood will split easily. No sledge and wedge headaches, no guesswork with a cumbersome maul, and no flailing with a hatchet until your elbow and wrist curse you. A word of warning: NEVER hold the wood with your other hand while using this too. If you miss, you can seriously injure yourself. This does violence to wood, so wear goggles and be mindful of safety. Think of it as a sharper than typical maul you can use with one hand.
