Good and solid but didn't split my logs 4 ways. I could only get it to split in half. That's okay though. I get my logs supplied by the Garroby Estate sawmill in East Yorkshire. A lot of the logs are hard wood and can take a while to to catch fire and burn. These were, as you would expect, difficult to split without proper whacking them, soft wood much easier of course. I used a hand lump hammer but ideally best with a big a full length sledgehammer although at 63 I don't have confidence to use.

Point on the end is not sharp enough and when it works it only splits in two: much easier to use an axe on the edge of the log and strike with a lump hammer. It sits on my desk as a paper weight and makes a good talking point.

This is the second one I've got the first on its own was brilliant but having two make easy work of any logs I've been splitting. The design is so simple and the quality means even when you miss hit it the out come is the same a split log Forget wedges get a log bomb

I had a look at some much more expensive log bombs and log grenades, I'm so glad I didn't spend more than I had to. This is great, I'm turning a mature, felled, beech tree trunk into a nice log pile, and for a grandma that's really not bad at all.

OK - I suspect 95% of these- like this one are made in China. That makes it cheap to buy but it's still effectiive as long as you site in to the true-core and have a heavy enough hammer/ axe0back or implement to give it a fierce belt. More than 3lb really. Otherwise it may may a nice little' anvil' in your block
