Weight: The wedge's weight affects its splitting power. A heavier one usually penetrates thicker, harder wood more easily.
Shape: Different designs, like square or twisted, can improve splitting efficiency and prevent the wedge from getting stuck.
Material: A wedge made from quality steel holds up better to wear and impacts.
Purpose: If you're mainly splitting thin, soft woods, a lighter wedge might do. For thick, hard woods, go for a heavier, sturdier model.
