Frequently Asked Questions

What is a splitting wedge used for?

A splitting wedge is designed to split large timber logs into smaller, more manageable pieces of firewood. When driven into the wood using a sledgehammer or maul, it forces the log to split along the grain, making it easier to prepare timber for burning or storage.

What size or weight wedge should I use?

The weight of the wedge affects how easily it penetrates the wood. Heavier wedges are ideal for large logs, while lighter models suit smaller wood types. Cyclone’s wedges are balanced for power, durability, and ease of handling.

Can I use a wedge for all types of wood?

Yes - Cyclone splitting wedges work on both seasoned firewood and tougher green logs. For best results, always position the wedge along visible cracks or the natural grain of the wood to ensure an efficient split.

What safety tips should I follow when using a wedge?

Wear safety glasses, gloves, and boots, and make sure the wedge is stable before striking. Check that the head of your sledgehammer or maul is secure to prevent damage or rebound. Avoid using damaged wedges, as chips or cracks can affect performance.
