Wedge Effectiveness
Customers have mixed opinions on the effectiveness of Halder's Simplex 6.5 lb Forged Steel Splitting Wedge. While some users praise its ability to effectively split even damp wood with minimal effort, others find it less effective for smaller logs and require additional force or pre-existing cracks to be present.

Highlights
Quality
I took off one star because it can be tough to start in certain species without a saw cut and the head is pretty soft
Able to split 8 foot black locust with the help of this tool!
The instructions state to never hit this with a steel hammer.
Once they stick & start driving the stump is gonna bust.
