Wedge for Wood Splitting BRADAS KT-SK0200, Hardened Steel, 2 kg, Grey

BRADAS KT-SK0200 is a hardened steel splitting wedge engineered for splitting firewood and thick logs. Weighing 2 kg, the wedge concentrates impact energy from a sledgehammer into a narrow cutting edge, enabling efficient splitting of seasoned and partly green wood. The grey finish provides corrosion resistance for outdoor and storage use, while the hardened steel construction maintains edge integrity under repeated blows.

Advantages

The hardened steel construction ensures long-lasting durability and resistance to deformation when struck with a hammer. At 2 kg, the wedge balances sufficient mass for effective splitting with manageable handling for manual operation. The tapered profile focuses force into the wood, reducing the number of strikes required to open logs. The grey surface finish adds basic protection against rust and wear during storage and outdoor use.

Suitable for

• Splitting firewood for domestic heating
• Breaking up thick logs and rounds
• Small-scale timber clearing and yard work
• Professional use where manual splitting with a sledgehammer is preferred

Key specifications

• Material: hardened steel
• Weight: 2 kg
• Finish: grey protective coating
• Design: tapered wedge profile for concentrated impact
• Intended use: manual splitting with a sledgehammer

How to use

Place the wedge in a cut or at the end grain of the log on a stable, level surface such as a chopping block. Hold the wedge steady or use a helper to keep it upright, then strike the wedge head with a sledgehammer of appropriate weight, using controlled, accurate blows. Continue striking until the wedge drives through the wood and the log splits. For very large or knotty logs, insert additional wedges along the cut as needed to complete the split.

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, gloves, and steel-toe boots. Ensure the work area is clear of bystanders and maintain a firm footing. Inspect the wedge for chips or cracks before use and avoid striking the wedge with tools that have damaged or loose heads. Store the wedge in a dry place to minimise corrosion and keep it out of reach of children.
