The wedge blade shape helps ensure logs separate instead of getting stuck, overall serving to lessen wasted energy. Maximum force is utilized during a swing to divide logs through optimal transfer of magnum power. A handle that absorbs shock lessens vibrations from wood chopping, enabling more comforts while striking wood, making the action more controlled. After impact, low friction blades sticking wood coated blades ease log release.

The result? Speedier log splitting with less energy, all while simultaneously lowering fatigue.
