Procat Split Wedge 1500 g

The Procat splitting wedge 1500 g is designed to help with heavy log splitting jobs, when you need power, durability, and efficiency. The wedge weighs a total of 1.5 kg, making it super stable and handy for splitting big, tough logs.
The wedge is made from hardened steel that handles tough mechanical stress and repeated hits without bending or deforming. The sharp tip makes it easy to drive into the wood, and its widening shape guides the split through the whole log effectively.
The surface treatment prevents rust and extends its life even in harsh weather. The design is meant to give you the best balance and safe use, especially when pairing it with an axe or hammer.
The Procat splitting wedge works great for making firewood, splitting logs, and on forest or construction sites where you need a strong, reliable tool for splitting wood.

Uses:

Splitting logs into firewood: The Procat splitting wedge makes it easier to split big, hard woods like birch and oak into firewood. Its weight and shape help open up the wood efficiently and cut down on the physical effort.

Splitting wedge instructions:
Start by picking a sturdy, flat surface. Stand the wedge upright on the log's surface in the middle of where you want the split. Hammer it in steadily with a sledgehammer or splitting axe until it sinks into the wood and starts splitting it. If needed, add a second wedge alongside. Don't use a cracked or damaged wedge, and always wear safety glasses and gloves when hammering.
Rinse the wedge after use, dry it thoroughly, and store it in a dry place.

How to pick the right splitting wedge:

Material: Hardened steel gives you the best durability and longevity.

Purpose: Think about what you'll use it for – firewood, building, or forestry – and pick the shape accordingly.
