Log splitters are handy logging tools designed to aid with splitting or cutting of logs. Some are built to help control the direction of a falling tree while others are perfect for splitting firewood. Ideal for both personal and professional use, they offer simple designs and are easy to use. Most log splitters require a hammer for pounding. Some of them, on the other hand, are equipped with a built-in slide hammer for maximum functionality.

Log splitters are excellent alternative to axes or mauls as they are safer to use and require less tension. They are made of durable and strong material—usually steel or high-quality plastic—to withstand heavy pounding and hammering while providing powerful splitting force. They come in different shapes and sizes to accommodate a wide variety of logging applications.
