The Peavey Splitting Wedge delivers professional-grade log splitting power through its drop-forged American high carbon steel construction and properly beveled striking face designed to withstand years of heavy use. This 5-pound wedge features a precision taper for efficient wood splitting and arrives sharpened and ready for immediate use, protected by a clear lacquer finish.

Key Features:

  • Drop-forged American high carbon steel
  • Properly beveled striking face resists chipping
  • 5-pound weight for optimal splitting force
  • Pre-sharpened and ready to use
  • Tapered design for efficient splitting
  • Clear lacquer protective finish
  • Traditional wedge profile
  • Made in USA

Specifications:

  • Weight: 5 pounds
  • Material: High carbon steel
  • Construction: Drop-forged
  • Finish: Clear lacquer
  • Edge: Pre-sharpened
  • Origin: USA

Ideal for:

  • Firewood processors
  • Homesteaders
  • Log splitters
  • Woodworkers splitting large stock
  • Stave and shingle makers
  • Rural property owners
  • Professional arborists
  • Anyone processing cordwood

Benefits:

  • Beveled striking face prevents mushrooming
  • High carbon steel maintains sharp edge
  • Drop-forged construction ensures durability
  • Optimal weight drives through tough wood
  • Tapered profile reduces splitting resistance
  • Clear finish prevents rust during storage
  • Pre-sharpened saves setup time
  • American-made quality and reliability

Engineered for Durability: The critical detail that separates professional wedges from hardware store alternatives lies in the properly beveled striking face. This beveling around the "struck" area prevents the mushrooming and cracking that plague inferior wedges after repeated sledgehammer impacts. The drop-forging process aligns the steel's grain structure for maximum strength, creating a tool that withstands thousands of strikes without deformation. The high carbon steel composition provides the ideal balance of hardness for edge retention and toughness to absorb impact forces. This combination of proper metallurgy and thoughtful design means this wedge maintains its effectiveness season after season, unlike cheaper alternatives that quickly become dangerous projectiles as they chip and crack.

Optimal Design for Efficient Splitting: The 5-pound weight represents the sweet spot for manual splitting—heavy enough to drive deep into tough wood fibers yet light enough to position and reposition without excessive fatigue. The precision taper transforms hammer energy into lateral splitting force, following the wood's natural grain lines to pop even stubborn logs apart. The pre-sharpened edge arrives ready for immediate use, slicing into end grain to begin the split rather than simply compressing fibers. The clear lacquer finish serves dual purposes: preventing rust during seasonal storage and providing a smooth surface that won't bind in the wood. Whether you're processing a winter's worth of firewood, splitting logs for fence rails, or preparing staves for traditional cooperage, this wedge delivers the reliability and efficiency that make tough splitting jobs manageable.
