Wedge Fiskars 1000600 Steel

The Fiskars 1000600 Steel wedge is a helicoidally shaped splitting wedge designed to make splitting larger, stubborn logs easier. Made of forged high-quality steel and fitted with a rounded head to minimise material fragmentation, the wedge is intended for use with a sledgehammer to expand an initial cut and reduce the need for multiple wedges.

Advantages

The helical profile forces wood fibres apart more effectively than a conventional wedge, allowing deeper penetration and faster splitting of thick or knotty timber. Forged steel construction provides durability and resistance to deformation under heavy strikes. The rounded head reduces chipping of the wedge material and makes repeated hammering safer and more controlled.

Suitable for

• Splitting large firewood logs that resist a single axe strike
• Outdoor and construction tasks requiring controlled splitting of timber
• Use with a sledgehammer to expand existing cuts

How to use

Make an initial cut or crack in the log using an axe or saw. Insert the Fiskars splitting wedge into the cut with the tapered end first. Strike the rounded head with a sledgehammer until the wedge drives through and the log splits. For very large or knotty logs, advance the wedge progressively or use additional wedges as needed.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (safety glasses, gloves and sturdy footwear). Inspect the wedge before use for any damage. Do not use a damaged or excessively worn wedge. Store the wedge dry to prevent corrosion.
