Product Description

Kindling Cracker: The Best Way to Split Wood

1

Inspiration Strikes

  • The Kindling Cracker delivers real-world ingenuity from an unlikely source — a school-age student who was determined to avoid injuries from splitting firewood into kindling.

1

Quality, Premium Build

  • It consists of one solid piece of high-quality cast iron. The only maintenance it needs is a bit brushing off and maybe a touch of paint from time to time to look like new for generations.

Safe and Easy to Use

The Kindling Cracker is a top-grade cast iron splitting head mounted inside of a 12in.H cast iron frame. To make a perfect piece of kindling, place a piece of firewood inside the iron safety ring and strike with a blunt instrument, such as a hammer, mallet or even another piece of wood. This drives the wood down onto the splitting wedge for a quick, easy split. There is no need to swing a sharp axe blade dangerously close to your hands. It's the perfect companion for your backyard stack.

This is a review for the Kindling Cracker Firewood Kindling Splitter by Kindling Cracker.

I bought this as a humorous Christmas gift for my son. Once he took off the fancy bow, naturally we had to go play with it straight away. A half hour later and we're back inside with armloads of kindling. The splitter works perfectly and is even better than advertised. I've had fireplaces and wood stoves for my entire life, and figure I've seen every kind of splitter and maul by now. I had expected the Kindling Cracker to be good, but how could it be much of an improvement on what's already out there? Well, surprise, surprise - it's good and better. I couldn't be happier with this thing and here's why: I haven't been able to split kindling for a few years because of a bum shoulder, but today I discovered that with the Kindling Cracker I'm able to split SINGLE HANDED (with my trusty 4# Stanley sledge) all the kindling I'm in the mood for. I can even do it sitting down. This turned out to be a huge surprise gift for me because I never expected that I'd be able to split wood again. My son loves it, too, and the only downside is now we have to take turns.

Clean design, bullet-proof, super stable. The round top makes comfortable in the hand to carry.

Edit: I just bought an Estwing MRF3LB 3-Pound Sure Strike Fiberglass Drilling Hammer and it works even better than the Stanley for me.

 We'd been eyeing this for some time and held off due to costs. We were not disappointed when it delivered. It secures easily to any log or ground mount with two holes. We put ours on a stump. The sharpness make kindling a breeze. The shape of the blade and splitter provides excellent shear capability. We split a whole cart load of kindling in about 20 minutes. It was actually fun to do. I highly recommend this over any of the splitters that go on the wall. This thing is perfect.

This device makes the job of splitting wood for kindling faster, easier and safer with some caveats though. I was splitting some red oak and on some pieces the wood would spring (bounce) back up and not split all the way through. I solved the issue by moving the piece to either side so it would not spread as far. I was using a 3 lb sledge and might not have had the issue with a 4 lb sledge. I also found out I need to wear gloves as I got a few splinters while holding the piece to get it started. Overall I am very happy with my purchase.

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2023

I use this tool as an easier way to split smaller logs into kindling, and I find it much easier than trying to balance an increasingly small bit of wood for long enough to split with a maul or hatchet. Plus, it makes me less nervous about my fingers!

There are many versions choose from and ultimately I picked this one because it's cast as one piece of iron rather than welded or bolted together. I'm pleased with the quality and would buy it again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Actually works with hard wood logs and safer to use than other types
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 5, 2022
Verified Purchase
I do actually like this Kindling Cracker - the only downside for me is the (very) high price considering what it is.

That said, I have tried other design log splitters and never felt comfortable with the “open bladed” type which I had originally ordered and thought would have been better in use

It soon became apparent that the open blade would or could be a potential issue especially when trying to split my hard wood logs (seasoned oak, ash etc) and if too much force was used to hammer the log, or it split easier than expected, there was always the chance that you would follow through with the hammer, or worse, one of your hands (you use one hand to steady the log for the initial hit) and strike the open blade. Hammers can be replaced - you hands cant :(

So, with the above in mind, I searched for something that at least on the face of it, looked safer to use.

There are plenty of this type available on line (with the halo above the blade), but either ridiculously cheap, looked quite spindly or very little credible reviews other than “best thing Ive bought…” which is no real use

Finally settled on this Kindling Cracker - yes it is expensive, and realistically I feel it should really be around the £50-£70 price bracket, but in its defence, it is well thought out, very sturdy and appears to be a single cast of metal so shouldnt flex under duress like some of the collapsible types I have seen

The blade appears blunt when inspected, certainly not knife sharp but could still cause damage, but does appear to work when splitting logs - if the edge was any finer it would soon dull after a few logs had been split, so think this is the best compromise between sharpness and longevity of the edge

It is super easy to split soft wood logs but with a little more effort it also works well with my hard wood logs too with the “halo” actually helping to support larger logs (keeping one hand out of the way) prior to hitting them with the hammer.
Smaller logs dont require as much effort to split, but you need to support them first, but one small tap will bed the log onto the blade and you can then remove your supporting hand while striking with the hammer

The best thing I like about the “halo” at the top is that it actually acts as a safety rail that stops the hammer following through if the logs splits too easily - this prevents the hammer, or more importantly, your hands getting anywhere near the blade when splitting logs

Obviously common sense should prevail when using this type of tool, but I feel this is certainly worth considering if you are the nervous type or have limited mobility issues and think if used sensibly, can last you a lifetime and will your hands out of harms way too. Which is nice :)
