Quick question: whats the benefit in splitting one handed? So you can have a rolly or cuppa?

 

I get it for tapping felling wedges, especially if you're up a tree, but for busting lumps on the deck I really don't get it...

 

You can hold/move the chunk with the other hand. Or be getting the next bit ready

Elwell 5lb is third in on the right.. You can get a really decent aim and power through one .. The 7lb is a bit hit and miss lol... Double headed is nice for root grubbing as one side is razor the other side slightly fatter and blunter for dirty areas

The wife bought me an axe and I got fed up with it getting buried in the wood. So I swapped it for a maul, which never gets stuck and splits the wood every time.

 

Smaller segments just need a light tap; Rings need a full heft. 18" dia, 15" long rings sometimes need a full body heft, but I like the challenge of getting a total split first time!

 

Keeps me fit - I did about 16 tonnes last summer.
