4lb Wood Splitting Wedge - Truper TRU33040
Truper's Super Splitter is a 4 lb. drop-forged steel wedge for hand-splitting firewood rounds. Set it in an existing crack or a starter cut and drive it with a sledge or splitting maul; the tapered profile forces the round apart along the grain.
This is the wedge only, no handle to fit and no maul included. Use a dedicated sledge or splitting maul to drive it, not a claw hammer.

- 4 lb. drop-forged head for durability under repeated sledge strikes

- Tapered wedge profile forces rounds apart along the grain
Commonly used for:
- Splitting firewood rounds by hand
- Freeing a stuck saw blade or bar in a cut
- General log-splitting work around a shed, cabin or campsite

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a special hammer to drive this?
Use a sledgehammer or splitting maul, not a claw hammer or framing hammer. A striking face rated for wedge and stake work resists chipping better.
Will this split any log?
It works best on rounds that already have a checked or cracked end. Knotty or green rounds may need a second wedge started beside the first to keep the split moving.
