Pros

After doing some research i opted to try this wedge out. I am very happy to say it works exactly as advertised. It works really well and was reasonably priced.

Splits big 20” + knotted pine logs like butter. It works great splits large diameter logs easily. Couldn't have asked for a better splitter.

This estwing e-5 sure split works well, but it also depends on the type of tree and the moisture content. Can't wait to start ramming this thing in wood. My spouse cuts wood regularly to heat our home and shops.



Cons

For small - medium size logs i had much better success with an axe, or hitting a hatchet with a 5lb deadblow. This thing is as frustrating and disappointing as a bad marriage.
