Operates by car-jack action for safer and easier log splitting. Splits logs up to 18" long x 10" diameter. No noise, no fuel, no fumes. Lightweight enough to take with you. Folds for storage. With this compact firewood splitter, you can split logs and kindling easily, without picking up an ax (or throwing out your back).

Just a few foot pumps can crack a 10" diameter log, without any upper body strength required.

Crafted of powder-coated, heavy-duty steel, this manual firewood splitter is lightweight enough to take camping or to cookouts, and it folds flat for easy transport. Using only foot power, this compact log splitter can handle seasoned logs up to 18" long by 10" in diameter, perfect for use at your house or cabin. And since there are no flying wood chunks or heavy axes to swing, you can even use this portable firewood splitter in your garage, where it's warmer. The Firewood Splitter features:
