Estwing Sure Split Wedge

Estwing Sure Split Wedge is a wood-splitting wedge that makes splitting wood fast and easy. The 9-inch wedge has a fast taper head and 1-7/8-inch cutting edge for easy starting. It also ensures a comfortable splitting action when it progresses through the wood.

Splitting Wedge vs Maul? This portable metallic tool is great for splitting harder and larger wood that a splitting maul cannot split. A wedge can be driven into a medium-to-large wooden block by slamming it with a sledgehammer or axe for easy splitting.

  • Double-Fin Design on the End of the Wedge: forged with offset fins for excellent splitting action, the greater angles provide a stronger wedge action when the tool is driven further down
  • Sledge: allows the Sure Split Wedge to penetrate below the wood line for sure splitting
  • Ideal for: large wood pieces up to 48'' diameter, most woods such as White/Red Oak, Hickory, Ash, Elm, Apple Wood, Pine, Cedar, and Cherry
  • Easy to store, carry, and use
  • Single-blade head with a black finish providing durability
  • Made in the USA
  • Sold as head only, no handle included

Tips from MTN Experts

Many people may have hesitation about wood split wedges with a soft steel head and end up buying a hard steel one. However, the hard steel head can easily tear after uses. The harder the steel is, the more brittle it gets after being pounded on by an axe. Another issue is hitting the hard steel wedge with your axe can be very shrill and loud.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Do I need a special sledgehammer to drive the Estwing Sure Split Wedge, or will any sledge work?
      Any standard sledgehammer capable of driving a steel wedge should work. The wedge itself is the head only and doesn't include a handle, so you're supplying the striking tool (sledgehammer or axe poll) separately.
      Why does Estwing use soft steel for the wedge head instead of hardened steel?
      Soft steel resists cracking under repeated sledgehammer impact, while the cutting edge itself is still hardened and sharp enough to bite into wood. A fully hardened steel head can become brittle over time and is prone to chipping or shattering, plus tends to produce a louder, shriller impact sound when struck.
      Can this wedge handle really large logs, or is it meant for smaller firewood rounds?
      It's rated for wood pieces up to 48'' in diameter, making it suited to large rounds that a standard splitting maul often can't handle alone. For smaller, more manageable firewood, a maul may actually be faster and require less setup.
