## Description

Product Description HAM-E-5 Box Contains 1 x Estwing E-5 Sure Split Wedge 1-7/8-inch Cutting Edge, 9-inch

Review: No jamming, good clean splits, solid tool - Forget the diamond shaped splitters, that get jammed in the log, get one of these, they make short work of thick logs, a sharp end and plenty of area to hit, using a 4lb lump hammer. No jamming or metal chipping, a chisel made to last for years, good and solid. Not cheap, but it saves hours in chopping time and cleaning up the mess, due to good clean splits. I'd definitely recommend!
Review: Great for splitting! - Ok I was a bit worried when I read some of reviews, some people saying it was rubbish, some saying it was brilliant. It is very good when used with the right hammer! For small logs etc you just need to hold it and hit it a with a small 4lb hammer, then if required use something bigger... But if you hit with a bigger hammer first it will just bounce off. So I used it with a axe and splitter axe and it was fantastic. It's really solid I think it will last years! So it can handle splitting little bits of wood and also the really large stuff!

## Features

- Fast taper head for easy starting
- Fins permit extra wedge action
- Sledge will continue through out below the woodline for sure splitting

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How soft is the steel? I'm planning to use a maul so I don't want to damage it too much**
A: Hardness is a relative measurement. The wedge  Is not case hardened and appears to be made from a medium carbon steel. I suspect that your maul by be of similar hardness. So strike straight!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tool for splitting wood
*by M***E on 12 April 2024*

Bought this to split up logs for the fire when we needed kindling. It is easy to use and shows no sign of wear despite bettering it around. It is quite heavy,but that is probably why it has lasted.
